Approach to learning and assessmentWork integrated learningProgram structureApproach to learning and assessment
The certificate aims to help you develop self-confidence and self-awareness, the ability to think critically and creatively as well as enhance independence given that you may have interrupted studies or may have not studied for a number of years. Learning these skills will be embedded in your program.
Each unit you will study is called a Unit of Competency. These make up your program and the corresponding Elements and Performance Criteria that make up each unit can be found online on Canvas (RMIT's Student Learning Management Systme). Course guides are available for each unit/subject. It is most important that you access these for information and guidelines about the delivery structure, assessment dates and requirements.
Various strategies will be implemented in the classroom to engage you with your learning; whether it be interactive activities, group-based discussions, problem solving or research based activities, and your engagement is paramount. To get the most out of your studies and the services at RMIT, we include induction activities at the beginning of your program to introduce you to the university, Canvas, learning resources, support services, and social and sporting activities.
Teachers deliver the training so as to actively engage you in your learning and your full participation in all simulated work activities. Learning is divided into classroom activities, online learning and project-based work. The learning and assessment approach recognises the need for you to adopt a positive and self-directive attitude towards study and to acquire the time management and study skills necessary to successfully cope with tertiary study.
The classroom based teaching (face-to-face-teaching) is 18 hours per week. As well as this, you will have directed study which includes independent study activities such as research, reading and other tasks designed to develop your skills.
Assessment measures competence, and because of the different types of courses, assessment may take different forms, such as:
- Tests/Exams: An individual form of assessment where you have the opportunity to demonstrate your ability to explain fundamental principles and solve problems
- Assignments/Essay and Report Writing: May be done individually or in groups. This method may also be used to enable you to demonstrate your ability to work alone or as a member of a team.
- Assessed tutorials: A form of in-class test, which may be done individually or as a team.
- Simulated activities: activities that mirror the workplace
- Practical assessments
- Oral Presentations
The assessment you receive will enable your teachers to provide you with feedback on the strengths and weaknesses. This will enable you to improve your study skills and develop as a lifelong learner.
Evidence is collected through both in-class activities and out-of-class activities (Self Directed Study).
Assessment:
Assessment will take place throughout the program. All the units of competency require a competent grade using the following system:
CA Competency achieved
NYC Not yet competent
DNS Did not submit for assessment

You will utilise the myRMIT Studies Learning Management System to access links to useful websites, program information and templates, readings and exercises to support your studies.
If you have a long-term medical condition, disability and/or other form of disadvantage it may be possible to negotiate to vary aspects of the learning or assessment methods. You can contact the Program Coordinator or the Equitable Learning Service Unit (https://www.rmit.edu.au/students/support-and-facilities/student-support/equitable-learning-services) if you would like to find out more.
