A Diba-branded facilitator demonstrating practical workplace safety skills to adult learners

Training for individual learners

Build your workplace safety skills.

Tell us what you want to learn and where you are based. We will help you check course options, dates and entry requirements.

Getting started

Find a course that fits your goals.

The enquiry is not an enrolment. It gives Diba BES enough information to confirm whether a current course and suitable delivery arrangement are available.

  1. 01

    Name the topic

    Enter the full course name if known, or describe the skill or responsibility you want to develop. Explain why you are looking for training now. A clear purpose helps the team distinguish a personal development enquiry from a specific employer requirement.

  2. 02

    Share location and timing

    Provide your province, town or city and preferred timeframe. Mention whether you can consider an alternative date or location. Keep travel and work commitments provisional until the actual course, venue and booking arrangements have been confirmed for you.

  3. 03

    Confirm course requirements

    Ask about current availability, delivery, entry requirements, assessment and the document issued on completion. These details belong to the specific course. Check the response against your original purpose so that a similar course name does not lead you to assume the wrong outcome.

  4. 04

    Receive the next step

    Review the information supplied and follow the confirmed booking process if the course meets your needs. Keep the course title and enquiry details available for follow-up questions. If your timing or requirements change, explain the change before relying on the earlier discussion.

Course-specific checks

What to check before you book.

Your training plan

Course interest, location and current availability

The enquiry captures enough context to continue without treating an unconfirmed course, date or delivery mode as available.

Availability

Confirm the particular course and timeframe, and ask whether a suitable place is available. A catalogue entry helps identify an option; it does not reserve attendance.

Delivery

Check the exact venue or delivery format and any course-specific preparation. A mode offered for one subject should not be assumed to apply to another.

Prerequisites

Ask whether entry or prior-learning requirements apply to your chosen course. Describe your background briefly and follow the confirmed process if supporting evidence is needed.

Assessment

Understand what attendance, theory or practical assessment is required and how completion is determined. Ask for clarification of any requirement you do not understand before booking.

Certificate

Check the exact certificate or completion document and any applicable approval relationship. Compare it with your purpose, particularly when someone else has specified what they require.

Documents

Supply basic enquiry information first. If supporting learner evidence is required later, confirm the protected sharing process rather than attaching documents to an unsolicited message.

Plan your training

Start with your people and your goals.

These are planning inputs, not eligibility decisions. Course facts and operational availability are confirmed after the initial requirement is understood.

01

Learners

Who needs the training, how many people are involved and what roles or responsibilities do they hold?

02

Purpose

What capability, workplace requirement or development outcome is driving the enquiry?

03

Place

Which province and location should be considered, and is a client site or arranged venue preferred?

04

Timing

What date or timeframe is being planned, and are shifts or operating schedules relevant?

Training questions

Your training questions, answered.

Start a training enquiry
How do I ask about a specific course?

Enter the course name or training topic, your location and preferred timeframe. If you found the course in the catalogue, include the full title and catalogue label so the enquiry refers to the right listing. Briefly explain whether you are developing a skill, responding to an employer’s request or considering a new responsibility.

Are prerequisites the same for every course?

No. Entry or prior-learning requirements are course-specific. Explain your relevant experience at a general level and ask which requirements apply before making a booking decision. You do not need to send identity or qualification documents through the public form; any evidence required later should follow the protected process confirmed by the team.

Will I receive a certificate?

Certificate and assessment information depends on the particular course. Ask about attendance, assessment, completion requirements and the exact document issued, including any applicable approval relationship. If an employer has requested a particular qualification or certificate, compare that requirement with the confirmed course information instead of assuming that a similar title will be accepted.

Do I need to upload documents with the enquiry?

No. The initial public form does not collect identity, medical, qualification or other high-risk documents. Provide the basic contact and training information requested. If documents are needed after the enquiry is accepted, Diba BES will explain the protected process and intended recipient. Avoid placing sensitive personal details in the general description field.

How do I compare a course with an employer’s requirement?

Ask the employer for the exact course, qualification or certificate requirement and any relevant completion deadline. Include the non-confidential requirement in your enquiry. Diba BES can clarify the proposed course information, while the employer remains responsible for confirming what it will accept. This comparison is more useful than choosing only by a familiar title or the shortest duration.

What should I check before arranging travel or time away from work?

Confirm that the course is available to you, that the dates and venue are agreed and that you understand the booking process. Ask about reporting times and any preparation required. A published duration or calendar entry can help you plan, but it should not be treated as confirmation of your individual place or travel arrangements.

Why should I include the catalogue label with a course title?

The website may show similar titles in different catalogue groups. Include the full listing so the training team can check the intended audience, published price and course-specific assessment or certificate information. Do not assume that two listings have identical outcomes because the main topic sounds similar. Ask for clarification before deciding which option fits your purpose.

Planning guidance

Use the full course name and explain the employer requirement or responsibility that prompted your interest.

Prepare your individual course enquiry

Compare the exact catalogue entry and ask about prerequisites, assessment, completion documents and attendance arrangements. The individual enquiry carries your selected course where you follow a course-page link. A schedule entry does not mean a place has been reserved.
