Enrolling in DECYP training

The DECYP Training and Development Hub lists courses from across the department for a range of staff roles, workstreams and audiences. Some are also open for external partner or volunteer enrolment and will be categorised accordingly.

DECYP employees

Courses listed on the Hub are open to DECYP staff, unless otherwise stated. Use the ‘Workstream’ and ‘Audience’ filters to find training suited to your role within the department.

In-person training

Most in-person training is carried out at the department’s staff training facilities, the PLI in Glenorchy, however the PLI can also help coordinate training at other facilities across the state.

Enrolment costs

Most in-person courses and training will have costs associated with them. If training is being carried out at the PLI, the standard rate is $50 per day. Costs may be more if it is held at an external/private training facility.

Following enrolment, your school or business unit will be charged, so it’s important to seek approval your principal or supervisor beforehand.

Enrolment confirmation

Once enrolled, an automated confirmation email will be sent to you as well as your principal/supervisor.

Late enrolments

Enrolments generally close two weeks prior to commencement of the course and may not be accepted after the closing date.

Withdrawals and non-attendance

Full charges will still apply if you:

  • withdraw during the week leading up to the start of the course.
  • fail to complete the entire course.

NB: withdrawal due to illness or special circumstances will be considered if communicated in advance by emailing pli@decyp.tas.gov.au

Cancelled courses

A course may be cancelled if enrolments do not meet the minimum required to run the program. An email will be sent advising of the cancellation when this happens.

It is the responsibility of the coordinator/facilitator of the course to communicate cancellation or postponement to all participants.

Participant surveys

Please help improve the training delivered by the department and our training facilities by completing all post-training surveys upon request.

Photography/filming permission

Photos or videos might occasionally be organised during a session. Please consider giving your permission if this is requested, as it helps to promote courses and staff training in general within the department.

University of Tasmania (UTAS) study pathways

Some courses will offer a pathway to progress studies with UTAS. Upon successful completion of these select courses you will then be able to enrol in certain courses offered by UTAS. Assessment to participate in these courses is set by UTAS.

Please contact the PLI for more information pli@decyp.tas.gov.au

External/non-DECYP participation

Some courses listed on the Hub are open to external partners/volunteers or to non-DECYP school employees. Check the ‘Audience’ category to see whether a course is open for external participation or enrolments.

‘External’ refers to all non-DECYP participants including volunteers, external service providers, non-DECYP school staff, relief staff and pre-service teachers in their final year of study.

In-person training (external participants)

Most in-person training is carried out at the department’s staff training facilities, the PLI in Glenorchy, however the PLI can also help coordinate training at other facilities across the state.

Courses on the hub that are open for external enrolments will be categorised as such either under Workstream or in the Audience categories.

Priority is given to DECYP staff for all course placements and externals will be waitlisted and confirmed subject to availability. You will receive confirmation of enrolment approximately two weeks prior to the course start date.

Enrolment costs

Most in-person courses and training will have costs associated with them. If training is being carried out at the PLI, the standard rate is $150 per day for non-DECYP staff.

Following enrolment confirmation, your school or business will be invoiced for the training.
