Program Information
The Structure of the Diploma of Fashion Styling has been developed to ensure the program is being delivered following industry guidelines and requirements.
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. This includes:
- Work placements which are mandatory requirements of assessment.
- Structured online learning activities where there is real time access to your teachers e.g. online lectures, teacher led discussions and online activities.
- Face-to-face learning e.g. tutorials, lectures, scheduled classes.
- Assessment tasks.
You will also need to work independently, this includes:
- Independent study activities such as research, reading, practical and/or theoretical practice tests or assessments.
- Work placements which are not directly linked to an assessment of course competencies.
Across the Program the learning environment is a mix of face to face and online delivery, with most courses partially delivered online. Classes are interactive and give you many opportunities to discuss ideas and practice new skills. You will participate in class learning activities such as: practical workshops in the development of fashion editorial and fashion catalogues, create your own blog site and create other social media sites, work on fashion styling shoots for film or TV, work in the photographic studio creating fashion images for fashion brands and undertake a number of fashion events including a fashion parade within a fashion industry context.
Some activities may be completed on an individual basis and some require group work, on-line interaction, including both the learning and assessment. Some assessment activities include case studies and formal presentation of work to groups, including fashion industry representatives. There is an expectation that you will complete assessment projects outside of class time.
Assessment occurs throughout the program and includes:
- practical demonstrations of competency, for example by completing tasks while being observed by your teacher
- completion of written work such as writing assessment reports, assignments, case studies, presentations and self-reflection.
- completion of practical work such as through the development of a finished product.
Some learning and assessment activities are conducted in a workplace and give you the opportunity to practice and be assessed on what you are learning in a work context.
If you have already developed competency through prior experience, you may apply for RPL before the program commences or at any time during the program for each of the courses you are about to commence. Please discuss this process with your teacher or Program Coordinator.
If you have a long term medical condition, disability it may be possible to negotiate to vary aspects of the learning or assessment methods. You can contact the program coordinator or the RMIT Equitable Learning Services if you would like to find out more https://www.rmit.edu.au/students/support-services/equitable-learning
