Assessment Requirements

To achieve competency, students are required to complete a range of assessment tasks that reflect real-world skills and knowledge relevant to the course. These include:

• Knowledge-based questions to test understanding
• Practical tasks (conducting meetings, audits, risk assessments and incident reporting)
• Workplace projects applying learnings in a real-world context.

Students must meet all assessment criteria to be deemed competent.

Canvas LMS
Canvas is our online learning platform that provides students with 24/7 access to course materials, assessments, communication tools, and progress tracking. Students can view and download training resources, submit assessments, receive feedback from Trainers and Assessors, track key dates and progress, and participate in online discussions. Canvas helps students stay organised, connected and engaged throughout their learning journey.

Skills Recognition

Students may be eligible for recognition of prior learning or credit transfers, 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.

Credit Transfer
Credit transfer allows students to receive recognition for equivalent units of competency they have successfully completed. This process ensures that students do not have to repeat training for units they already hold.

To apply for credit, students must provide evidence of the completed unit, which may include a qualification certificate or transcript, statement of attainment or USI transcript.

Course Duration

The course is delivered over three (3) days face-to-face training.

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.
