We are exclusively e-portfolio so everything can be completed remotely. Once candidate’s login they’ll have access to course materials, resources and assignments.
Assessment
Candidates will study 8 units (3 mandatory, 5 optional) and have 12 months to complete. In many instances APL (accredited prior learning) can be applied to reduce the number of units studied and length of study.
Assessment is through performance in the workplace. Most assessment will be based on performance evidence, ie observation (in person, video recordings) and work products generated by the candidate (documents, letters, spreadsheets, travel/accommodation bookings, receipts, e-mail correspondence, database reports, graphic elements, etc). The specific evidence produced will depend on the choice of optional units.
Holistic assessment is encouraged — gathering evidence towards more than one unit in the same assessment occasion.
