What does online delivery leave unresolved?

Online theory does not remove workplace evidence requirements. CHCCCS040 requires direct support work, and CHCCCS031 distinguishes simulation from workplace assessment. A delivery label cannot tell you where those parts happen.

What should be in the offer?

Ask where supervised practice occurs, where assessment takes place and who arranges a suitable workplace. Obtain any attendance and travel expectations before paying. No provider's online timetable or placement arrangement has been verified here.
