For all participants registering for the NESA accredited course, agree to the following terms & conditions:

Your answers will be monitored to ensure a reasonable level of engagement has been made with the course.
You are required to complete 100% of the course before your NESA number is shared with NSW Education Standards Australia.

Please note that you will need to complete your course prior to the 28th of each month to have your NESA details updated within that month. Courses completed after the 28th of the month will be sent to NESA in the following month’s completions.

Certificates:

Certificates are automatically generated at 100% course completion. (Please note: if you have not answered all questions and watched all videos in their entirety, the course will not be completed and therefore your certificate will not be generated).

Privacy:

The questions and answers you provide within this Professional Development course are for your own reflective practice.

Please note, once you have completed the professional development course, your training records (including your name and the service you work at) will be shared with your Health Promotion Officers within your Local Health District so they can be updated by your Munch & Move teams.
