Re: Starting anew
Study can really help improve your confidence and sense of self achievement - so often needed after a traumatic experience.
It sounds like you are on the right path.

Re: Starting anew
Hello @JaneDoe1, Congratulations on taking up this course. I finished this exact certificate in September last year. If you need any help, just call out.
Good to hear you are making a new start for yourself and taking care of you:)

Re: Starting anew
Hi @JaneDoe1, I did mine through IPS People. Mine was Business Administration Medical but the basis of the course in the same.
Google will become your best friend. Take as much of your answers from the information that they give you. This is what the assessors will be looking for. Work Place Health and Safety will appear in most of the subjects.(don't panic, WPHS is mostly common sense.) Do not be afraid to call upon your assessor if you need help as that is what they are there for. Mine drove 2hrs to see me as I was stuck on Excel.
Take your time doing it and make sure you take plenty of breaks. Enjoy what you are learning.
Do you have a place of work to be able to put into practice what you are learning or is this course to get you employment?
Hope this helps.
Don't be afraid to ask me if you get stuck and I will try to help.
Take care.

Re: Starting anew
20 odd years ago - I did a cert 3 in office admin with an extra course - medical secretary - medical terminology / privacy issurs etc.
It's been great.
Admin Assistants / officers and business managers / assistants are always in demand. And I got great satisfaction out of my previous jobs. I hope you will too.
I was an OH& S Rep. Although it can be dreary to sit through - there are a few interesting bits you can pick up and make your passion in the workplace - such as inclusivity - anti bullying etc.
As @Heart said - most of it is common sense.
I wish you lots of luck with this course. I'm sure you will love it.
