20 August 2020 MRWED confirms that, in line with the new Stage 4 lockdown announced for the Greater Melbourne area, as part of precautions to reduce the spread of COVID-19, the proposed reopening of our Melbourne training centre has been postponed. At this stage, no face-to-face training will be available in our Melbourne facility until restrictions are lifted and we are confident that training can be undertaken safely. The health and well-being of our students and staff is of paramount importance and our thoughts are with all those impacted by this second wave of infections. Our Client Services team will be in contact with everyone who was scheduled to attend a face-to-face session in Melbourne over the next 8 weeks, to discuss alternative options. For students wishing to continue their studies without delay, MRWED has scheduled live facilitator-led Zoom sessions until the end of year. To learn more about this hybrid program visit: https://www.mrwed.edu.au/course/tae40116/facilitator-led-online-learning-program, To review the scheduled options, look for “Facilitator-led Online Training” on our timetable at: https://www.mrwed.edu.au/timetable. We will continue to monitor this evolving situation and provide additional information when available. In the meantime, we look forward to supporting our students in achieving success in their chosen MRWED qualifications. Marc Ratcliffe CEO – MRWED Training and Assessment
