Session times are 8:30am to 4:00pm each day.

 

Video Conferencing

Students have the option of attending the face-to-face course or a part of it via video conferencing technology (Microsoft Teams). Students are required to have a computer with access to the Internet.

 

In-House Training

This skill set can be customised to suit your organisation and delivered in a flexible format to suit your workplace requirements.

 

ASSESSMENT REQUIREMENTS

This course is competency-based. Students have assessments to complete externally to the training room which provides evidence they have understood the training and applied it to the workplace.

This requirement means that it is not possible to complete all assessment requirements during face-to-face training.

Students are required to complete assessment tasks for each module which typically include:

  • Knowledge-based questions demonstrating application of required knowledge
  • Video and audio evidence of practical demonstrations
  • Workplace projects
  • Third-party reports from Qualified Assessors in the workplace.

Canvas, a web-based learning management system, is used throughout the course. Students can access their learning resources and project templates at any time, as well as complete their assessments, including answering knowledge questions and submitting projects.

 

ASSESSMENT TIME FRAMES

Students have up to 12 months to submit their assessments. Please be aware that this is a maximum time frame and is greatly dependent on the current job role and pre-existing skills and abilities of the student.

Students can submit their assessments at any time after attending the face-to-face component. The actual time for completion varies between students.

 

REQUIRED RESOURCES

Trainwest provide the following resources:

  • Learning and assessment materials for all units of competency
  • Customised PowerPoint presentations
  • Detailed lesson plans.

Students are required to bring:

  • Laptop that can access the Internet via Wi-Fi, with a USB port and Microsoft Office installed
  • Highlighter and folder to store evidence.

We strongly recommend that students familiarise themselves with the YouTube videos provided in the Pre-existing Skills and Knowledge Checklist prior to attending the course.

 

SUPPORT PROVIDED

Trainwest provides ongoing support to students throughout the duration of the course via email and telephone.

We offer post-course support workshops at no additional charge. This provides students with the opportunity to have time away from the workplace to work on assessments with the support from a Trainwest Trainer and Assessor.

Students have access to 60 minutes of one-on-one coaching free of charge. Additional one-on-one coaching is available at an hourly rate for those who need it.

 

RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is available for this qualification. RPL is an assessment-based pathway, suitable for those who already have the skills and knowledge in one or more of the areas that make up the qualification and do not wish to undergo further training.

For those considering RPL please speak with our Student Services Team. They will make an initial assessment of suitability and discuss the RPL process before sending an application kit.

Trainwest recognises qualifications and statements of attainment issued by other Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) and under the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF).

Students who have previously completed any nationally accredited training may include their certificates and transcripts with their enrolment application for credit review.
