ABC First Aid Partnerships FAQ's
Some Common FAQ's About Partnering With Us
When joining ABC, we ask that partners pre-load a system credit of $460.00 to their student management system. When you issue a SOA to a student, the amount payable to ABC is taken from the system credit. Let’s say a student completes a First Aid course and their SOA is issued. $20.00 is deducted from the partners system credit.
You pay only for the statements of attainment (SOAs) that you issue. Note: additional administration fees may apply, as per the partnership guide.
Yes, as an RTO we are required to collect student data for all enrolments. You have full access to your student data at all times and you can export if you need to. ABC does not deliver training, so we will not keep your student data to market for our own courses.
We aim to review all partner applications within one business day. If all information as has been submitted, our team will approve the application during the review. We will then reach out to schedule an onboarding session which could be as soon as the next day.
There are three ways that students can book into our partners courses. Our student management system has a unique iFrame for each partner, which is essentially a course calendar that shows all (public) courses that the partner has added to the student management system. The iFrame is embedded into the partners website and students can book directly through the partners website. This saves manual data entry for the partner.
If you don’t have a website, we have a landing page option that is specific for your courses. In addition, the abcfirstaid.com.au website has a course calendar that shows all partners public courses. This is an additional benefit, as we essentially advertise our partners courses. Remember – we don’t deliver our own courses, our number one goal is for our partners to have students in their classroom.
Onboarding is where new partners attend a zoom meeting with our onboarding team to be shown our student management/learning management system. Although, it is easy to use, it is a great opportunity to ask questions and bein the position to hit the ground running.
Every new partner will be required to sign a Partnering Agreement, which is renewed annually, however it is not a lock in contract.
We expect our partners to deliver training to a minimum of 200 students per year.
