Module 1: Construction Knowledge of the Australian Residential Industry
You will learn about the Australian residential industry (construction knowledge) by attending Live On-Line Weekly Live Sessions and by watching on-site real-life residential construction simulations and interactive training videos and images.
Module Overview:
- Common materials and commercial construction products (such as Mitek, Posistrut, etc.) used in the residential industry in Australia.
- Terminology/language and technical phrases used in construction.
- Australian construction techniques.
- Learning about structural members used in timber and brick framing (i.e. timber stud wall and brick veneer wall).
- Learning about different footing systems used in Australia.
- How to read architectural drawings drawn based on Australian drafting standards
- We used drawings from real-life projects in order to have a thorough understanding of the architectural design, therefore being able to start the structural design.
- How to read structural drawings drawn based on Australian drafting standards
- We used drawings from real-life projects in order to have a thorough understanding of the structural drawings drafted based on Australian standards.
- Learning about required structural members in Australian residential houses. Learning about the Australian standards used in residential designs (AS/NZS codes).
Career Opportunities
Upon completion of the full course and the 12-week internship, students will have enhanced their industry-specific skills, been trained to act professionally in the workplace, and gained experience designing and working on real-life residential projects resulting in their own Design Portfolio. Through mentorships, students will have formed career confidence and will be able to take steps to further their careers, showing that they are competent and suitably skilled with sufficient knowledge and exposure in designing residential dwellings.

Online learning space & what you need
LearnPedia is the Only Australian Institute providing Project Based Learning (PBL); giving you the opportunity to learn while working on real-life projects from Start to End with a support channel and highly structured internships.
This course is delivered by experts in the field through designing and drafting real-life projects based on AS/NZS, and pre-recorded site inspections of residential construction sites (videos & photos) in which the trainer explains the construction aspects you need to consider in your designs.
Students can study at their own pace, from anywhere, at any time, provided they have a personal electronic device and internet access. Required programs are provided through the course. Our Online Chat Room is also available for students to interact with each other, ask questions and receive further mentorship.
As part of our internship program, we host Live Online Q&A sessions where we answer questions and offer hands-on guidance about the course, modules and projects assigned in your internship.
FAQs
Which software packages and resources will I have access to throughout the course and internship?
At various times students get access to Structural Toolkit, SpaceGASS, AutoCAD, Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, LearnPedia Loading Excel Sheet, LearnPedia Project Checklist, and Relevant Australian Standards & Codes to be able to practice and design real-life projects.
Do I get to experience On-Site Inspections and walk through a residential project during construction?
Yes, you will!!! LearnPedia provides access and equity to education by supporting trainers with online resources, allowing them to deliver quality, effective modules and learning experiences with productive educational outcomes. It is important to recognize the close relationship between design and construction. If you don't know how a building will be constructed, how can you ensure your design is buildable and practical? On-site real-life residential construction Simulations and Interactive Training videos and images are included throughout most course modules. Ensure you have a visual understanding and the necessary knowledge and perspective. Additionally to that, we have on-site student excursions every 6 months. Our excursions are designed to enrich the curriculum across all students and subject areas.
Will I get to design any real-life projects throughout the courses?
Students will design two real-life projects throughout the courses, from the Beginning to the End, based on Australian Standards and Codes. These can be used to create your own Australian portfolio or add to your existing portfolio, proving your local experience and knowledge.
Will I be able to follow the online material? Is it clear and explained properly for me to understand and learn?
The modules are explained in detail using Simulations and Interactive Training Videos; you will be taken through a smooth learning process step by step. Everything is summarised and organised so that students won't be bombarded by too much information. And while working on real-life projects with trainer guidance throughout the course, you'll get to see how your trainer implements the information provided in the course. You will also have the chance to implement them by shadowing the trainer and working on the projects simultaneously.
How long will I have access to complete my course or individual module?
Students have 4 months from their enrollment date to complete their studies and submit all assessments and exams for this course. (Students may extend the duration of their enrollment on a month-by-month basis – extra fees apply). We recommend a minimum of 10hrs of study per week.
How many times can I sit the final exam?
Students have a maximum of three attempts to pass the final exam. A student may apply for further attempts in any course or module – extra fees apply (10% of the course price or 25% of the module price).
How many points do I need to pass the final exam?
To successfully pass the final exam, a minimum score is required: First three attempts: Minimum score of 90 out of 100 points, Further re-sits: Minimum score of 96 out of 100 points.

Course & Internship Completed
An insightful learning experience executed flawlessly by our course trainer Moly. "Her expertise in structural designing was evident throughout training as she provided material that was familiar yet highlighted common real-life problems associated with designs." Her extensive knowledge and exposure to all these challenges presented me with a different perspective of tackling single storey dwelling design. I thoroughly enjoyed my involvement and would highly recommend this advantageous single storey dwelling design course.

Course & Internship Completed
The Single Storey Design Course has been a valuable learning experience for me. It covered all the fundamentals of the structural design of single-storey residential buildings including both theoretical and practical aspects of engineering.
"Moly delivered the course in an exceptionally detailed manner and was generous in sharing her knowledge and experiences in the local industry. She has been supportive throughout the course and was patient to answer all our questions."
I enjoyed the whole learning experience and I’m grateful to meet wonderful people in the process.

Course & Internship Completed
Moly is highly professional. She is incredibly responsive and worked diligently to solve most complicated problems. Completing the course taught me so much about residential designing projects. Her method is simple, efficient and practical. She took her time to explain every step of the way to make sure that they were understandable. I highly recommend using her method of implementing theoretical knowledge to practical solutions.
