  • classes are delivered on Campus (City) that are designed to provide maximum class interaction, discussion and development of ideas and skills
  • online classes for select theory based topics specialist guest speakers to provide insights into current workplace practices
  • extensive online resources and support of both the content areas and the study skills to support learning
  • both group and individual opportunities for learning and assessment support for students to develop language, literacy and numeracy skills required to succeed in the 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.

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:

  • role plays: demonstration of practical skills in a range of formats including simulations and workplace activities
