Mode of Delivery
The mode of delivery for the practical performance of this qualification is through workplace assessment and collection of evidence. We also have a RPL process for those who qualify. The course may take 12-24 months to complete and will be dependent upon your workplace activities, experience and meeting performance requirements.
An initial interview will need to take place to discuss and agree on a Training Plan before we can provide an accurate quote. The price may range between $13000 - $17000 as a estimate.
A number of these interviews/observations will be conducted until all units required have been assessed. During these interviews, a list of structured questions is used to ask competency questions around clusters of units. The assessor will record the candidate’s responses and document this evidence. This interview also requires the assessor to observe and document the candidate’s skills in the workplace. During these interviews, any gap training required will be identified and recorded on a training action plan and the assessor will determine if third party evidence is required.
The process requires a significant amount of effort to gather and submit the evidence required for the assessment. Our dedicated team will guide you through the process of putting together a portfolio of evidence. This can contain overseas qualifications, transcripts, certificates, photos and videos, samples or work examples, letters of reference, your current resume, etc.
