- I’m a registered Nurse, Career Firefighter or Paramedic, do I need to complete the entire Cert III?
- We’ll need to conduct an existing qualifications assessment to determine what training is required to meet the accredited course requirements. Please contact the SETS Training team to discuss.
- Can this training be done onsite?
- Yes, absolutely. Whilst we have excellent facilities in the Perth area, it’s common for the SETS Training Team to travel and tailor scenarios and training requirements for specific sites and clients. Please contact us to discuss.
- What happens if I start this training and am unable to complete it?
- There are many reasons students may start their training and then are not able to complete it as scheduled. It could be a family emergency, illness or injury or that you realise this may not be the right career for you. Whatever the reason, we will work with you to reschedule and support you where possible.
- What happens if I am deemed Not Yet Competent in a particular unit?

- I have been advised I need to be clean shaven to attend the Cert III?
- We understand that some students may not wish to shave off their facial hair for religious or other reasons, but it is a legal requirement under Australian Standard 1715-2009: Appendix B – Facial seal of respirators. This standard relates to the restrictions on wearing beards, sideburns, moustaches, and long hair as some of these hair and facial features may prevent an adequate seal between the wearers face and the fitting surfaces of a facemask.
