DELIVERY ARRANGEMENTS
The Diploma program is typically delivered over a minimum 12 month period using a blend of on and off the job approaches. We combine group learning sessions with self-directed reading, summative assessment projects and research activities that combined we have allowed up to 600 hours for total volume of learning at Diploma level. The qualifications can be fast-tracked, depending on current competencies of learner as well as their available time in completing the requirements. For learners completing the qualification via traineeship arrangements, we recommend a minimum of 36 hours of face-to-face group training sessions for Diploma level (12 units x 3 hours each). In this way learners can learn from each other while being guided by the experienced facilitator.
PATHWAYS
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 an 12 session ideal structure for Diploma 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.
