Approach to learning and assessment

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: 

  • 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

The supervised hours in this program are: 1356
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.

Successful completion of this program requires you to demonstrate that you are competent in all of the 22 units of competency.

For learning and assessment purposes these units have been grouped into the areas shown below:

Year 1 Courses:

Foundation Skills, Construction and Design Technology in Residential Buildings, and Digital Communication and BIM

CPCWHS1001 Prepare to Work Safely in the Construction Industry 
VU23444 Comply with Relevant Legislation in the Design of Residential Buildings
VU23451 Select Construction Materials for Building Projects
VU23447 Design Sustainable Buildings
VU23456 Present Architectural Designs
VU23442 Apply Structural and Construction Technology to the Design of Residential Buildings
VU23449 Produce Preliminary and Working Drawings for Residential Buildings
VU23454 Integrate Digital Applications into residential Architectural Workflows
VU23452 Provide design solutions for residential buildings

VU23459 Conduct, Interpret and Appy a Bushfire Attack Level  (BAL) Assessment
VU23441 Undertake Site Survey and Analysis to Inform Design Process

Year 2 Courses:

Construction and Design Technology in Commercial Buildings, Design and Presentation

VU23445 Comply with Relevant Legislation in the Design of Commercials Buildings
VU23446 Design Safe buildings 
VU23443 Apply Structural and Construction Technology to the Design of Commercial Buildings
VU23450 Produce Preliminary and Working Drawings for Commercials Buildings
VU23455 Integrate Digital Applications into commercials Architectural Workflows
VU23453 Provide design solutions for commercials  buildings
VU23448 Integrate services layout into design documentations

VU23457 Manage architectural project administration
BSBESB401 Research and develop business plans
BSBPMG426 Apply project risk management techniques

VU23458 Undertake complex architectural projects

The grouping of units reflects the nature of the project-centred learning approach to delivery and the practice of co-assessment of some units within the groupings. Your learning experience will include participation in supervised interactive design and documentation studio sessions providing you with access to experienced staff and peer review. You will also engage in the analysis of case studies, on-line research and accessing specific discipline related on-line resources for direct integration into project work. Underpinning knowledge and skill development will occur throughout the program. Courses in this program are assessed as 'competent' or 'not yet competent'.

If you have a long term medical condition and/or disability it may be possible to negotiate to vary aspects of the learning or assessment methods. You can contact the program coordinator or Equitable Learning Services if you would like to find out more.

Work integrated learning

RMIT University is committed to providing you with an education that strongly links formal learning with professional or vocational practice. As a student enrolled in this RMIT University program you will:

  • Undertake and be assessed on structured activities that allow you to learn, apply and demonstrate your professional or vocational practice;
  • Interact with industry and community when undertaking these activities;
  • Complete these activities in real work contexts or situations;

and in addition, these interactions and the work contexts provide distinctive sources of feedback to you to assist your learning.

Any or all of these aspects of a WIL experience will be simulated.
