Each section has videos and reading material you’ll have to digest to learn the critical aspects of Infection Control and so that you can achieve 100% in your quizzes.
At the end of each section you’ll need to undertake a multiple-choice quiz. Once you have scored 100% you will be able to progress. You have up to five attempts at each quiz.
The case studies are to confirm you can apply what you’ve learnt to a real-life, practical situation. You’ll need to review the Case Study ahead of answering a series of questions about the best way to handle the scenario.
To attain this Nationally Recognised unit of competency you need to be observed practicing infection control skills. Such an observation isn’t possible via Online training, that’s why we need you to ask somebody that you work with (present or past) or someone who works in the food industry to complete this 3rd Party Verification form about tasks they’ve seen you doing.
Completion of this Nationally Recognised Unit of Competency will see you awarded a Statement of Attainment for ‘HLTINFCOV001 – Comply with infection prevention and control policies and procedures’.

To work through the learner guides & complete the required assessment, takes most people around eight hours to complete.
This unit of competency is ‘Nationally Recognised’ which means we have to adhere to standards, rules and regulations that govern the Vocational Education & Training (VET) industry. Such standards include how training organisations assess students – including the need to be observed practicing infection control skills. Such an observation isn’t possible via Online training and so Redmako Learning have determined the simplest way is to provide you with a 3rd Party Verification Report so that you can ask someone within your workplace to confirm they’ve observed you.
Our assessors work full-time Monday to Friday and regularly assess within hours of students completing the course, however you should allow 1-2 business days for your Statement of Attainment to be received via email.

If you don’t already have a USI number, you can apply for one by going to https://www.usi.gov.au/your-usi/create-usi
As an International Student you’re only allowed to study with a CRICOS institution, which unfortunately Redmako Learning is not. Please check the Australian Government registry to find an institution who can help you https://cricos.education.gov.au/
