Online Learning FAQs

 

Welcome to our Online Learning FAQ page. Here you'll find helpful information about getting started, accessing your course, and understanding how we protect your data.

 

Getting started

 

What are the minimum technical requirements?

To make sure you have the best experience with our online courses, please ensure the following:

  • Browser: Use the latest version of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Safari (Internet Explorer is not supported)
  • Internet speed: A broadband connection of at least 2 Mbps is recommended for smooth video and audio playback
  • Browser settings: Cookies and JavaScript must be enabled
  • Audio: You’ll need speakers or headphones to hear audio content

     

When will I receive my login details?

If you have purchased a course yourself and entered your email address, you should receive an automated course enrolment invitation email with a link. If you are required to complete a course through your organisation and multiple places have been purchased, someone may allocate a place in a course to you. If this is the case, you should receive an automated enrolment invitation.

Can I access the course from a mobile phone or tablet?

Yes. Our courses can be accessed on most modern smartphones and tablets. However, we recommend using a desktop or laptop for the best experience.

 

Access and Troubleshooting

 

I forgot my password – what should I do?

Click the "Lost password?" link on the course login page to request a password reset. If the reset email doesn’t arrive within 30 minutes, check your spam or junk folder. Still no email? Contact us at phoenix-training@unimelb.edu.au or via our Training Enquiry form, and include your name, email address, and the name of your course.

Why can’t I access the course material?

First, check that your setup meets the technical requirements listed above. Also, keep in mind that access to the course is available for six (6) months from the date of enrolment. If that time has passed, your access will have expired. If everything appears in order but you still can’t access the content, contact us and we’ll help troubleshoot the issue.

My login isn’t working – what should I check?

  • Make sure you're using the same email address you used to register
  • Double-check your password – it’s case-sensitive
  • If you have an existing account on our storefront (https://education.phoenixaustralia.org/), please make sure to log in with the details as set up previously. If you already have a Moodle (our learning management system: https://phoenixaustralia-ed.elearn.net.au/login/index.php) account but no account on our storefront, please use your Moodle log in details for the storefront, as the system will recognise your email address.
  • Course access is available for six (6) months from your enrolment date. If that time has passed, content will no longer be accessible.

I can’t see the course on my dashboard.

Please make sure you have enrolled into the course before accessing Moodle (our learning management system). To enrol, please click on the link in the course enrolment invitation email that you should have received. If you have previously enrolled, your access to the course may have expired.

Who can I contact if I need help during the course?

For technical issues or questions about course access, email us at phoenix-training@unimelb.edu.au or use our Training Enquiry form.

 

Course Participation and Progress

 

How are the courses delivered?

All our online courses are self-paced. Once you enrol, you can log in and access the materials at any time, day or night. Access is available for six (6) months from the date you enrol, unless otherwise specified.

Do I have to complete the course in one sitting?

No. You can log in and out as needed. Your progress will be saved automatically.

Is there a time limit to complete each module?

No, you can complete the modules at your own pace, provided you finish within the six-month access period.

Do I need to complete all activities to get my certificate?

Yes. All required modules and activities must be completed to receive your certificate of completion. In order to receive a certificate, you need to pass the final quiz with a minimum of 8 out of 10 correct answers. You can retake the final quiz as often as needed.

Will I receive a certificate of completion?

Yes. When you complete one of our online courses (hosted in Moodle), a certificate of completion will be automatically sent to your registered email address.

 

Enrolment and Payments

 

Can I get a refund if I change my mind?

Please note that we’re unable to provide refunds once a course has been accessed. We encourage you to read the course description carefully before enrolling. If you’re not sure whether a course is right for you, please get in touch at phoenix-training@unimelb.edu.au.

Can my organisation enrol multiple people at once?

In some cases. If you’d like to arrange access for a large group or team, please contact us to discuss your needs. Minimum numbers apply.

Do I have to allocate all places once I make the purchase?

If you purchase multiple places at the same time for several staff, you don’t have to allocate all places immediately.

Can I transfer my enrolment to someone else?

Enrolments are generally not transferable once access has been granted, but please contact us if you’d like to discuss your situation.

Can I get an invoice instead of paying via credit card?

Yes, we can issue invoices upon request. Please contact us at phoenix-training@unimelb.edu.au.

 

Professional Development and Recognition

 

Is this course recognised for CPD points?

Some of our courses are approved as Continuing Professional Development (CPD) activities by the Australian Psychological Society (APS), particularly those designed for mental health professionals.

Approved courses will display the APS CPD logo on their course description. Please refer to individual course pages for details.

 

Accessibility

 

Is the course accessible for people with disabilities?

Our online courses are built using Articulate Rise 360, which is designed to meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). This helps ensure compatibility with screen readers and keyboard navigation.

 

Privacy and Data Use

 

How is my personal information used and protected?

We take your privacy seriously. All personal data you provide is treated as confidential and is stored securely. We do not sell or share your information with third parties.

When you enrol, we collect only the data needed to verify your identity (should you contact us for support) and to help us understand how our training is being used, so we can improve it.

If your organisation allocated a place for you in one of our courses, we may provide them with limited information – your name, email address, enrolment date, expiry date, and your progress through the course – so they can support your learning.

For more information, please see our full privacy policy in the Terms and Conditions.
