Teaching/Delivery Methods

The Academy refers to the Training Package’s guidelines and requirements to implement its strategies for training delivery of the units of each qualification. This includes identifying learning needs and every training session documented to ensure the Performance Criteria is addressed and facilitated. Most of the learning is held in training rooms with various teaching methods used including, role-plays, presentations, case studies & training videos. On occasions, field trips as well as a visit to the local libraries will be organised to enhance the learning.

The Academy recognises the principle of flexible delivery. Programs are supervised by qualified trainers/assessors and are designed to emphasise flexibility of delivery and assessment to maximise the opportunity for access and participation by students who:

• have missed out on scheduled lessons due to sickness or personal reasons;
• have organised credit transfer;
• have achieved RPL (recognition of prior learning) and need to complete units not offered on the timetable;
• would like to fast-track their course, that is, finish their course in a shorter period of time;
• need to be specially managed because their training periods could not be accommodated due to a ‘not yet competent’ result and that the timetable does not allow completion within the period of enrolment.
  

Training & assessment methods may include the following: self-paced learning , flexible timetabling, computer assisted learning , face to face lecture/tutorial, individualised learning , role plays, simulations and group work. Fees for these programs may apply where one-to-one training and assessment is required. Students have opportunities both formally and informally to provide feedback to Trainers/Assessors for the improvement of future program delivery.
