Entry Requirements
Students must be 18 years or older and will be required to demonstrate the required level of Language, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN) skills.
Whilst there is no formal pre-requisite required to enrol into this qualification, it is beneficial for students to have some relevant industry experience working in a managerial position within the workplace. This may have been obtained through formal and/or informal training, work experience and life experience.
To ensure that this is the most suitable qualification to achieve individual career goals, all applicants to this program will undergo a Pre-qualification Interview. In this interview we discuss career goals, assess eligibility, and discuss current knowledge and experience.
All students, who have two (2) or more years’ industry experience, are offered a Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) Assessment. This RPL Assessment process is undertaken by a qualified industry experienced Trainer and Assessor who will measure each student’s current knowledge and experience against the performance criteria of the qualification. Should individuals have already acquired knowledge and skills considered within the learning criteria of this qualification, they may not need to complete all units of competency within the qualification. As a result, if an application for RPL is successful, a student may:
- Reduce or eliminate the need to undertake training in skills and knowledge you already have
- Save time by reducing the number of classes that you will need to attend
- Complete your qualification in a shorter time
- Advance to a higher-level qualification in a shorter time, if desired
