Policy on Equal Opportunities

Training Programs

Inspiritive has a policy of promoting fair and equitable access to its training programs and other commercial offerings. Inspiritive is committed to the principle of equality of opportunity. In practice this means:

Inspiritive will grant entry to anyone who

• has applied for and received a place and meets the entry criteria for a particular program
• and is complying with all other relevant regulation or legislation including but not limited to occupational health and safety requirements and visa conditions
• and has undertaken to pay the published fee for that program
• and who presents themselves at the published venue at the published times of the program.

In the event that a particular program is full when a qualified person applies for a place, they will be offered a place on the next available program.

Prerequisite qualifications for entry to any program are published on this web site with the rest of the information regarding that program.

Where a prospective qualified student has special needs, Inspiritive will endeavour to accommodate these when deemed “reasonable” under the terms of Equal Opportunity Standards. Inspiritive uses training venues and facilites which comply with relevant building codes including wheel chair and other disability access to class rooms and wash rooms. Personal aides and interpreters will be welcome, however, Inspiritive is not in a position to fund special needs personnel or equipment without undue hardship.

All prospective students have access to a copy of this Equal Opportunity Policy document.
