Assessment Requirements

This competency-based course requires students to demonstrate the skills and knowledge gained through their training. External assessments are completed to provide evidence that students have understood and successfully applied the training in the workplace.

Assessment tasks typically include:

• Knowledge-based questions to test understanding
• Video and audio evidence of practical demonstrations
• Workplace projects applying learnings in a real-world context
• Conduct at least 6 assessments, at least 1 of which must use recognition of prior learning (RPL), for 3 different individuals for at least 2 different units of competency from a nationally recognised training package or accredited course.

Canvas LMS
Canvas is a web-based Learning Management System that provides students with 24/7 course access. Students can access learning materials, track their progress, and submit assessments when ready. This allows students to complete tasks independently with the support and guidance of our Trainers and Assessors.

Course Duration

Students have up to 12 months to complete this course. The time frame for completion varies between students depending on their current job role and pre-existing skills and abilities.

Students can complete the course earlier or extend the duration for up to 18 months if required.

Skills Recognition

Students may be eligible for recognition of prior learning, reducing the time and cost of their studies.

Recognition of Prior Learning
Recognition of prior learning (RPL) is an assessment process that acknowledges skills and knowledge acquired through formal, non-formal, or informal learning. This pathway allows students to gain recognition for competencies they have already developed, potentially leading to the awarding of a unit of competency or qualification without additional training.

To apply for RPL, please contact our Student Services Team. They will assess the student’s suitability and discuss the process before sending an application kit.
