About SALC


Active Progress

When enrolled in a training program, students need to demonstrate active progress in their training for the duration of their enrolment. Depending on the training program, this may include:

  • Attending classes
  • Submitting assessments
  • Participating in observed or simulated assessments
  • Attending work placement
  • Meeting and communicating with your trainer
  • Paying training fees

Our policy is that if a student shows no active progress in 20 business days, their training account will be suspended. If no further activity is demonstrated within the next 10 business day, their training account will be withdrawn.

For the purposes of these terms, a “Business Day” is a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday in South Australia.

Attendance

At the start of each class, your trainer will ask you to sign an attendance sheet.

If you are unable to attend training, please contact SALC as soon as possible, or at least by 8am on the day of the training.

Please note that Cancellation fees may apply for non attendance.

Enrolments

To enrol in a SALC training program, we require some of your personal information. This information will be held as part of your student account.

If you do not have a student account, you will need to create one before you can enrol into a course.

When creating a student account for the first time, you are required to provide (as a minimum) your full legal name, date of birth and contact details. If enrolling in a training program that will result in nationally recognised qualifications, you will also be required to provide their Unique Student Identifier (USI).

Fees and charges

Fees and charges for SALC services are calculated based on direct training costs and pro-rata allocation of administrative overheads. All fees and charges are advised at the time of booking.

Confidentiality of records

SALC maintains the confidentiality of all students and will not release your records to anyone other than yourself without your prior permission. Refer to the Privacy Statement for more information

  • Certificates of Attendance will be issued to you at completion of your training
  • Statements of Attainment and Qualifications will be issued to you by mail.

SALC has a requirement to report certain demographic information to our registering body, the National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER). All information supplied is non-identifiable.

Credit transfer

As a Registered Training Organisation (RTO), SALC must recognise RTOs registered by other States and Territories and all AQF Qualifications and Statements of Attainment issued by other RTOs.
Credit transfer allows a student to gain exemption from units that they have completed at another RTO, where those units align to Units of Competency that form the qualification they are enrolling in at SALC.

Discrimination and harassment

At SALC we do not tolerate discrimination or harassment of any kind.

To ensure that the learning environment is free from harassment, discrimination, and victimisation, SALC specifies standards of behaviour expected from students and staff in our SALC Code of Conduct.

Drugs and alcohol

SALC has a zero-tolerance drug and alcohol policy. This policy is aimed at ensuring a safe and healthy environment for our students, employees, contractors, and the general public. Your fitness for work and study may be affected by a variety of factors including alcohol and illegal drugs. The consumption or distribution of alcohol or illegal drugs on SALC premises is strictly prohibited.

Plagiarism and cheating

Plagiarism and cheating are not tolerated by SALC and may result in students being penalised as per SALC Terms and Conditions.
Examples of plagiarism and cheating include:

  • submitting work that is not your own
  • using an online or AI tool to write answers for you
  • word-for-word copying of sentences or paragraphs from another student or source
  • paraphrasing sentences or paragraphs from another student or source without providing a reference.

Prerequisites

Some courses require students to either have completed other training or hold qualifications and/or licences prior to starting a new training program. These requirements are referred to as prerequisites.

When enrolling in a course that has prerequisite requirements, you will be required to provide evidence that you meet the prerequisites before commencement of the training.

Course outcomes

Any SALC training that you complete is recorded in the SALC learning management system.

  • A Parchment and Academic Record will be issued after you have met all the requirements for your Qualification to be awarded
  • Statements of Attainment are also issued for any courses where a Unit of Competency is completed.
  • A Certificate of Attendance will be provided for any enterprise course completed.

Any courses undertaken at a partner RTO where a Unit of Competency is awarded will result in a Statement of Attainment being issued by that RTO. These statements may initially be issued to SALC so results can be recorded and then forwarded onto you.

Student support

SALC is committed to assisting you throughout your studies and has a range of services available to help you during your training.

Where advance notice is given, adjustments may be made to the training delivery and assessment to provide discrete and allowable assistance.

If you require support, please contact SALC before the start of your training course.

Unique Student Identifier (USI)

Students enrolling for the first time, or continuing students undertaking nationally recognised Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses (that will result in the awarding of a Statement of Attainment or Qualification), will require a Unique Student Identifier (USI).
