DELIVERY METHODS
This qualification can be completed via any of these pathways as follows. We offer flexibility with this qualification.
RPL: If you have skills and experience to meet all the competencies of any unit/s, and can demonstrate/document that competency, then you may apply for RPL (recognise prior learning). Please contact our office for more details of this assessment-only process and an application form. Learners should allow 600 hours to complete the qualification in this format regardless, however, this is assuming that they are able to provide sufficient and current evidence.
Group Sessions: There may be a number of people in your organisation that can come together for a series of training sessions in your workplace, or an agreed alternate location. We have a 12 session ideal structure for Certificate IV 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. This involves a combination of summative and formative assessments that include research, written tasks and demonstration activities.
Flexible: It may not be possible or preferential to co-ordinate face-to-face sessions so we can also assist you through the qualification via post, email and phone support. Learners should allow up to 600 hours regardless.
Blended Approach: You may prefer a combination of face-to-face sessions supported by email support and telephone conferencing. We can structure a program by incorporating all of these options.
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 Reports – an Observation Report is conducted by our assessor. An ideal time is scheduled in the hospitality environment where the assessor can observe the student carrying out specific performance relevant to this qualification. Everything observed is then documented by the assessor on their report.
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.
