It's important to note that though Holmesglen makes every effort to arrange a 2-week work placement for each student, this is NOT mandatory according to the HLT55118 training package. This is simply done in order to give students industry-specific work experience which can be used to both solidify training undertaken at Holmesglen as well as improve the chances of finding employment upon completion of the course. The workplace placement is organised for during the learners fourth semester in stage 4. This option is exclusively available to local learners and is not a requirement for the qualification, making it unavailable to international learners.
