Program delivery and structure
Approach to learning and assessmentWork integrated learningProgram structureProgram transition planApproach to learning and assessment
Successful completion of this program requires you to demonstrate that you are competent in 12 units of competency (5 core units plus 7 elective units) as outlined in the program structure.
You will be required to study for approximately 41 hours per week and this includes face-to-face classes, online activities as well as self-directed studies such as preparation for classes, research, online collaboration and assessment completion.
Delivery and Learning
The main form of delivery will be in the classroom with some supervised self-directed learning. Learning will ensure that units are contextualised to industry applications wherever possible, and that demonstrations and practical sessions and/or workplace sessions be incorporated wherever appropriate in the delivery strategy. You will experience a variety of approaches to learning and teaching. Classes are interactive and give you many opportunities to discuss ideas and practice new skills. You will participate in learning activities such as: analysis of case studies and scenarios, group discussions and group work. In addition to developing skills and knowledge for a particular job, this program also aims to help you to develop broad work skills, known as foundation skills.
You are expected to undertake self-directed learning in addition to those activities provided in class. This self-directed learning will often be based upon research, and reading of relevant knowledge elements of the course. Where you have the opportunity to do so, you are encouraged to apply skill elements in your actual workplace.
Assessment
Assessment tasks are designed to simulate the workplace and require you to demonstrate the practical application of your knowledge. If you have already developed competency through prior experience, you may apply for Credit Transfer/RPL before the program commences or at any time during the program. Please refer to https://www.rmit.edu.au/students/student-essentials/enrolment/apply-for-credit
All assessment tools ensure that there are processes in place to authenticate the evidence provided. These processes include questioning and third party endorsement for RPL applicants, questioning/interviews/self-reflections for group assignments and questioning and the use of Turnitin for e-submissions. Many units have a component of group work which requires you to work collaboratively in simulated work situations. Assessment tasks will provide simulated scenarios and tasks which are equivalent to future job roles relevant to the program. You will have the opportunity to clarify with your teachers any issues related to your learning and assessment.
Methods of assessment of individual or clustered competencies will be dependent on individual requirements as stated in the training package. These will generally include:
- observations of presentations
- use of case studies
- work simulated projects and
- various forms of tests
Learner Support
In order to identify any learning support that individual learners may need to successfully complete the program, a customised online Language, Literacy (including digital) and Numeracy (LLN) assessment is conducted for all students prior to commencement of training. The test has been mapped to the Australian Core Skills Framework and is designed to highlight specific areas of assistance that may be required. Individualised learning support plans are then provided to students outlining the kind of support services that are available and how to access these. In addition, where cohorts of students are identified as having core skill gaps, teachers incorporate additional Language, Literacy and/or Numeracy learning activities into the delivery of the program.
If you require assistance with study skills you can access Study Support : https://www.rmit.edu.au/students/study-support
You can get practical advice on assignment writing and discipline-specific language and learning skills. You can also get assistance with specific skills you may need to succeed in this program, including any language, literacy or numeracy problems.
If you have a disability, long-term illness and/or mental health condition you can access support from the Equitable Learning Services (ELS). In consultation with you, the ELS determines Reasonable Adjustments (RAs) and Equitable Assessment Arrangements (EAAs) This support provides students with equal opportunity in their studies in accordance with the Commonwealth Disability Discrimination Act 1992.
