Recognition of Prior Learning

Courses may be shortened considerably through students gaining exemption from units, or parts of units, under recognition of prior learning provisions. The main focus of RPL is to determine the student's current level of competency, so that courses can be tailored (and where possible shortened) to gain maximum benefit from each training investment.

Workplace Projects

Each participant is grouped into a small project team aimed at achieving specific improvements within their workplace in line with their department’s strategic goals. At the conclusion of the course they then have the opportunity to present their findings to management.
In addition, the progress of each project is regularly reviewed following the workshops. Participants are critically questioned in a positive, supportive, professional manner that challenges participants to achieve outcomes. These outcomes are matched against specific elements of the various units of competency within the course and form part of the assessment process.

Workplace Assessment

Participants are assessed progressively with most assignments being required for submission 4 weeks after completion of each unit. Qualified Frontline Management assessors conduct all assessments and provide specific feedback to each participant on their competency.

Mentors

Additional support for each participant can be provided through the use of industry mentors. Our mentors act as a resource and sounding board for each participant to maximize their learning experience and provide a confidential relationship.
