This course is offered in a blended mode that comprises a combination of virtual and face-to-face classes. A virtual classroom is an online teaching and learning environment - students and educators interact and communicate in real time.
This is supported by self-directed online learning (via Moodle, our online student learning system) which also requires the completion of directed learning activities and assessments in your own time. You will also be expected to initiate your own individual study, research and learning. Learning resources, learning activities and assessment processes are accessible via Moodle and the recommended textbook. As significant critical learning occurs during class time, you are required to attend the scheduled classes (these may be face-to-face and/or virtual via Zoom due to current COVID-19 restrictions.)
Requirements
- You must be able to demonstrate vocational competency in your proposed teaching and assessing area. Vocational competency is defined as broad industry knowledge and experience, and may include, but is not limited to, holding a relevant unit of competency or qualification. We will ensure that you have vocational competency by discussing and collecting certified copies of any relevant certificates you hold, and an up-to-date and verified resume.
- You will be required to attend an interview prior to course commencement, where you will find out more about the course content and course attendance requirements.
- You will also be required to complete a pre-training review which will determine the suitability of the course for you. This review includes a literacy and numeracy assessment.
- You must have access to a computer throughout the course and be able to demonstrate a basic level of competence in Word documents, emails, and the ability to use online learning platforms.
