This course is focused on developing skills in delivering training and will allow students to gain real experience in the classroom, practice in small groups of up to 10-15 students, and undertake holistic assessments based on current work practices. It is expected that a full-time study load will involve up to 20 hours a week of study. Deliver strategies include:

Delivery is face to face within a classroom environment at our Western Sydney Skills Hub 410 Church Street, Nth Parramatta.

• For distance learners, Zoom classes maybe scheduled.
• Simulated experience on a weekly basis

A range of assessment methods are used to collect evidence from learners. These methods include:

• Portfolio of evidence assessed by a Trainer/ Assessor of this course. This portfolio would include indirect evidence such as logbooks, workbooks completed at the students own time, and other evidence such as learner produced.
• Third-party reports from supervisors or other professional workers at an RTO as required.
• Critical Reflections of work undertaken in demonstrating skills.
• Role plays and workplace simulation exercises where demonstration of skills cannot be achieved within the workplace.
• Presentation of information in the workplace or in a simulated work environment.
• Written reports and knowledge-based exercises which demonstrate key knowledge across subjects in the form of quizzes or short answer exercises.

Please note assessments involve significant work both during and after the sessions. You will have maximum of two attempts to submit your assessment. Any additional submissions will incur a fee.
