Learning and assessment will use a range of methods including:

• program
• assessment that are designed to prepare you for work-ready performance and/or further study

The program will enable you to gain skills and knowledge that are directly applicable to workplace practices. Peer learning and networking will be fostered throughout the program through the use of an online learning system. Discussions and group work with other students will be a key part of your learning. The program also incorporates project based learning (both group and individual work).

Assessment occurs in each unit of competency in the program and incorporates a range of methods to assess performance and the application of the required knowledge and skills. Assessment tasks will include:

• action learning projects,
• individual and group presentations
• demonstration of practical skills in a range of formats including simulations and workplace activities
• case-studies
• written reflections

The approach to learning and assessment for this program will include both supervised and non-supervised forms of training delivery.
Supervised training is teacher directed learning and assessment activities. These include:

• face-to-face learning e.g. workshops and scheduled classes
• online learning activities
• assessment tasks

You will also need to work independently, and this will include:

• independent study activities such as research, reading, practical and/or theoretical practice tests or assessments

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.
