4 Course Delivery Methods We offer two options for you to obtain your Advanced Diploma of Government : Face to Face The face to face course duration is 12 days, (usually delivered in 2 and 3 day blocks) over a period of approximately 3 months. You will learn by a combination of instructor led presentation, reading key materials, group discussion, individual assessment tasks, group assessment tasks and other learning activities. Most people are able to complete the work in the time allocated in class, however at this level of study you should expect to spend some of your own time on review, research and revision activities. The last 2 days of the course are an assessment workshop. You will be required to undertake some preparatory research within your organisation. This may require up to 10 hours of your time outside class. All other assessment requirements are self-contained and can be completed during the course time. Bayley usually offers this course at least twice a year, and dates for upcoming programs can be found on our web site. Minimum class size for a course to run is 6 participants. Maximum class size is 15 participants. To Enrol Face to Face Simply contact us for a registration form, then complete and return it to us.
