This training course will be provided through a range of flexible delivery and assessment methods to meet the individual needs of students and employers, including: Classroom-based (non-traineeship) Workplace-based (traineeship - structured, on/ off-the-job applied learning) Onsite classroom-based (non-traineeship) 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 traineeship course will be provided on-the-job, off-the-job or a combination of these, as most appropriate for the needs of the participants and the employers, and it also involves the undertaking the non-routine applied learning activities in the workplace, along with the completion of workplacebased assessments. The trainers will use a variety of techniques to introduce the learning topics, which may include: presentation, group discussion, demonstration, role play, simulation, and practice activities. The total duration of this qualification under the current Strategy is 540 nominal hours, including the scheduled workshops, which can be completed in approximately months. 9

11 This requires a significant personal time commitment from participants to successfully complete all requirements to gain the qualification. Participants should allocate a minimum of 10 hours per week to work through the Participant Guide, undertake the self-directed learning activities (or the nonroutine applied learning activities included in the traineeship) and then complete the assessments. Students in a non-traineeship enrolment will have 12 months from the date of the last scheduled workshop to submit all the assessments and complete the course. You will have to your assessments to the Training Registrar, unless otherwise instructed. All assessment work must be received by VCCI by the end of the course. Where participants are able to demonstrate extenuating circumstances, however, an extension for assessment submission may be granted. The workplace-based learning and assessment schedule and activities for participants enrolled in a traineeship course are provided to you as guidelines in Part 3 of your Training Plan. The traineeship assessments will be scheduled in agreement with the participant, and are expected to be completed monthly (e.g. one unit per month). Assessments must be submitted (handed over) to the assessor on the agreed dates. This scheduling allows for a reasonable time for self-directed study, workplace practice and assessment preparation. 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 (non-traineeship) is 12 months from the date of the last scheduled workshop. 2.6 Assessment Methods and Requirements Assessment is summative, consisting of a number of assessment tasks to be undertaken in the workplace or in a simulated work environment. The methods of assessment may include the following: questions and answers, written activities (eg report, research, analysis, and document preparation), presentation, project work, demonstration/ observation, role play/ scenario/ case study, and if in a traineeship or onsite non-traineeship, training log and supervisor reports, as applicable. 10

12 To demonstrate competence for the units in this qualification, you will be required to complete all the tasks and activities in your Participant Guides, 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. You should answer the assessment tasks using the information provided in the learning materials and the context of your own workplace (or provided case studies/scenarios). All participants will be supported by their facilitator to complete their outside-class assessments via and telephone as needed. VCCI regularly monitors course progress and participants are also encouraged to liaise with their facilitator regarding their progress or to arrange for an assessment consultation, if necessary. For more detailed information on the delivery and assessment process, methods and requirements, refer to the Participant Handbook. 11
