Delivery Agreement
PT Thiess has a third party Fee-For-Service agreement with CQUniversity to deliver this course to the staff, similar to the way the apprenticeship program is delivered. However, as these students are off-shore, they will not receive a trade certificate only the Testamur. All compliance documentation for the trainers and the organisation is held on SharePoint in the VET Contract Management System and goes through an approval process through Claude Favero, the Director and Peter Heilbuth, PVC. This agreement is reviewed and renewed annually, as well as, internally audited annually. With the audit one year, it is a desktop audit and the next year two representatives travel to Indonesia to conduct training and validation panels with the trainers.

Study Mode Definitions
- Online: Online courses provide the flexibility to study without normally requiring a student to visit a campus. Course content is studied through a number of means including the use of online discussion forums, electronic library resources, by contacting lecturers and teachers, and receiving study materials online/electronically. Work integrated learning, including placements, may be included in some courses.
- On-campus: Students studying in on-campus mode typically are expected to attend and participate in regular, structured on-campus teaching and learning activities throughout the University’s academic term. These activities may include lectures, tutorials, workshops and practice, online or other activities and normally will be timetabled at a CQUniversity campus or approved delivery site.
- Mixed Mode: Students studying in mixed mode will participate in a combination of online learning activities in addition to site-specific learning activities, which may include residential schools, co-op placements and/or work-integrated learning as a compulsory requirement of a unit. The additional site-specific learning activities are what differentiates a mixed-mode unit from an online unit.
*All study modes may include Vocational placement and/or work integrated learning.
