We have a 15 session ideal structure for Certificate III however the amount of time face-to-face can be discussed and agreed depending on the current competencies of the participants and viability of them coming together.

ASSESSMENT METHODS
Demonstration/Practical Skills – A range of observation techniques have been included in the assessment tools to help identify the students’ ability to demonstrate their competence against the performance criteria and assessment conditions. This gives the student the opportunity to demonstrate their skills applicable to their job role and workplace.

Written Questioning – The student will be asked to complete a series of written short answer questions based on their knowledge of the unit. Their assessor will ask them a series of verbal questions to confirm their written responses. This usually occurs during an on-site observation/demonstration, where students explain their knowledge based on workplace application.

Written Project – A written assessment tool is provided to the student to gather evidence using a range of methods, these could include research and evidence gathering before documenting the project. The project is normally scenario-based or specific to the learner’s workplace. In some cases, the student is required to collect a portfolio of evidence to demonstrate their competency against the relevant units.

Observation and Third Party Reports – a Third Party Report is provided to a supervisor or employer to gather evidence of the students’ competency on the job. This Report is then reviewed and signed off by the Assessor.

A language/literacy/numeracy test is carried out prior to commencement of your course to ensure that every student is capable of completing the course in which they have enrolled. The LLN test also helps us to identify those students who may need additional support during their learning journey.
