WHAT IS THE COURSE DURATION?
This course has been designed to be delivered over 63 weeks with 51 weeks of scheduled classes and 12 weeks holidays.
Classes are held for 20 student contact hours per week which equates to 1020 student contact hours. This may be achieved with a schedule such as 3 days per week (2 days of 8 hours, and 1 day of 4 hours per week). While the timetable may vary it will always maintain 20 student contact hours per week.
Students will also be required to allocate some time each week to undertake some self-study (e.g. self-directed learning through activity books, case studies, and assignments). Students should be able to allocate approximately 4 hours per week outside of allocated class time. This equates to approximately 204 hours of self-study.
Courses are run regularly throughout the year. Please refer to the RTO intake date page for course start dates.
HOW IS THE COURSE TRAINED AND ASSESSED?
This program is to be delivered in a classroom-based environment with access to a fully equipped engineering workshop.
All theory and practical based delivery and assessment will occur within the designated classrooms and engineering workshop of the RTO through structured training sessions from a qualified Trainer / Assessor employed by the RTO. At these training sessions a qualified Trainer/ Assessor will provide the required skills and knowledge as per the unit content and will ensure the learning is imparted.
The course also involves students completing some reading and written work outside the scheduled classroom delivery time.
The assessment process will include the gathering of evidence to demonstrate the student’s competence. The assessments include theory and practical tasks and will be clearly documented in the assessment documents. Assessments will include tasks such as written questions, practical demonstrations, case studies and assignments.
