This program is delivered through a combination of guided learning workshops, reading through and undertaking the activities in the Participant Guide to understand the underpinning theoretical concepts, and self-directed learning and workplace-based assessment activities. The trainers will use a variety of techniques to introduce the learning topics, which may include: group discussion, demonstration, role play, simulation, and practice activities. The total duration of this qualification under the current Strategy is 470 nominal hours, including the scheduled workshops. This requires a significant personal time commitment from participants to successfully complete all requirements to gain the qualification. Participants should allocate a minimum of hours per week to work through the Participant Guide, undertake the self-directed learning activities, and then complete the assessments. 8

10 Students will have 12 months from the date of the last scheduled workshop to submit all the assessments and complete the course. This scheduling allows for a reasonable time for self-directed study, workplace practice and assessment preparation. Where participants are able to demonstrate extenuating circumstances, however, an extension for assessment submission may be granted. Attendance at all scheduled training sessions is compulsory. The assessments will be discussed during those workshops and students engagement and participation will be observed by the trainer/assessor. The nominal course end date is 12 months from the date of the last scheduled workshop. The learning schedule and activities for your traineeship course are provided to you as guidelines in Part 3 of your Training Plan. 2.5 Assessment Methods and Requirements Assessment is both formative (class activities or supervised workplace applied learning) and summative (assessment tasks). The competence will be established based on evidence collected through a diverse range of assessment methods, including written assessment tasks, observation, projects, portfolio, training log or supervisor report. To demonstrate competence for the units in this qualification, participants will be required to complete all the assessment tasks and activities provided in the Participant Guides or Learner Pack, which make up the assessment for each unit. If the assessment asks for samples of documentation from the workplace, they must be attached to the corresponding task, careful to remove / block out any confidential information. Participants should answer the assessment tasks using the information provided in the learning material and the context of their own workplace. 9

11 Classroom-based or on-site (non-traineeship) training: Assessments for each of the units must be completed and submitted as scheduled. This schedule allows for a reasonable time for workplace practice and assessment preparation. You will have to your assessments to the Training Registrar, unless otherwise instructed. All assessments must be received by VECCI by the end of the course. Where participants are able to demonstrate extenuating circumstances, however, an extension for assessment submission may be granted. The nominal course end date is 12 months from the date of the last scheduled workshop. Traineeships (if applicable): The assessment due dates will be scheduled in agreement with the participant and the employer, and then documented in the Training Plan. Assessments must be submitted (handed over) to the assessor on the agreed dates. The end date of your course is the last assessment due date. For more detailed information on the training and assessment process, methods and requirements, refer to the Participant Handbook (in your course pack or on VECCI website). 2.6 Employability Skills Summary Employers in Australia and all over the world value people who have the necessary skills and knowledge, and who also fit well into their organisation, use their initiative to solve day-to-day problems, work productively, manage their time efficiently, and are keen to continue learning. These types of skills are known as 'employability skills'. These are skills required not only to gain employment, but also to progress within an enterprise so as to achieve one's potential and contribute successfully to enterprise strategic directions. The employability skills are embedded within each unit of competency you will study and they will be holistically assessed together with the other performance requirements. 10
