Delivery is blended (face-to-face, online, workplace training), with some private RTOs offering evening or weekend classes to attract students. However, the apprenticeship model requires on-site work during standard business hours, limiting flexibility. Parents must coordinate with employers for workplace training components, which are mandatory for the 2–4 year duration.
