Course Structure

Resources

We will provide a classroom environment for training and assessment purposes, however students will need to ensure they have a suitable place offsite to continue their study. This may be by way of a study area or home, or their workplace.

The RTO uses training materials developed by Didasko (Presicion) LMS. A virtual workplace is offered whereby students can enter to download relevant policies, procedures and documents relevant to the unit. 

Reference to other publications can be found on bookboon.com. Refer to https://bookboon.com/zh/leadership-ebooks  

Students are provided with access to the internet facilities whilst studying on site, during face-to-face sessions, however, will need to bring to class, their own electronic devices such as a laptop or tablet to class. Students will need their own internet access whilst studying away from the classroom.

Assessment

Assessment is competency based. Students are required to complete written and practical tasks, which reflect the requirements of the units of competency and current workplace practices. Assessment is continuous throughout the duration of the course and often will include at least one written assessment including short answer questions and project work requiring individual students to complete tasks in a simulated working environment.

Completed and submitted work will be assessed within 14 days and feedback provided to the student as soon as possible thereafter. Where the student’s work is assessed to be not yet satisfactory they will be provided with additional advice, coaching or tutoring and the opportunity to re-submit the work with a view to having it assessed as satisfactory. 

Feedback and information regarding the student’s competency, progress and study will be provided by the facilitator on a regular and ongoing basis. Ongoing support is also available to all learners and will be provided as soon as a need is identified.

Student Support 

To maximise the chance of students successfully completing their training, the RTO will identify any support individual students need prior to their enrolment and provide access to that support throughout their training. This will be done using both the Enrolment Form, and a RTO Placement Test, that students are required to fill in. 

The aim of both documents is to provide any support that may be required. This could include:  

• Language, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN) support;  

• Assistive Technology  

• Additional Tutorials, and / or  

• Other mechanisms, such as assistance in using technology for online delivery components.  

Where this support attracts an additional cost to the student, the RTO will make this clear prior to accepting the student’s enrolment. If there are limitations to the support your RTO is able to provide, these limitations will be made clear in information provided to a potential student. 

Where the RTO identifies required support, such as literacy or numeracy, English or other language barriers or physical capabilities, and it cannot provide such support directly, it will refer the student to a third party. The costs of such third party support will the responsibility of the individual. 

Where the RTO is not capable of offering an environment suitable for the needs of a student with specific identified needs, it will inform them accordingly and may direct the student to a provider that can, and thus will not process their enrolment.

Credit Transfer and Recognition of prior learning (RPL) 

Credit transfer is available for completed past studies in areas related to the qualification that participants plan to enrol in. Participants are advised of the process of applying for credit transfer and assisted by the Trainer / Assessor to apply. 

Students are encouraged to seek advice with DHA or visa specialist about the potential effect of having their course duration shortened and any effect this will have on visa requirements.   

Candidates who believe they have already obtained current skills and knowledge that would otherwise be covered in the qualification / unit of competence for which they intend to attain, but have no formal prior learning, can apply for RPL. The candidate’s skills and knowledge will be assessed and validated, and where appropriate, units of competency acknowledged and face-to-face training reduced.  

The recognition of prior learning procedure will be made known to you at the time of enrolment. If you can demonstrate competency through provision of sufficient, current, valid and authentic evidence of work experience, life skills, and study or via other evidence, then you may be granted RPL for that unit of competency.
