Duration

Being self-paced study you can enrol at any time and progress at any speed you like without the stress of due dates and rigid class time tables. Study duration depends on the hours you put in and your skill level.

Prior to commencement you will complete a Training Needs Analysis to determine a suitable time frame for you.

Learning and Assessment

Learning consists of recorded webinars and learner workbook tutorials, provided in our student portal.

We reduce the assessment workload in this course through the use of integrated assessments. Each course module consists of assessment components such as written questions, case studies, projects, and role plays.

Work-based or Simulated

Work based: Ideally you will undertake this qualification with the support of your employer and already be working in a role that involves coordinating others. This will enable course projects to be completed in a real workplace environment.
Simulated: If you do not have access to a real workplace, completion of the course is possible however you will need access to a group of people (at least 3) for role play assessments to demonstrate your skills in a simulated environment. Adapt provides a suite of policies and procedures for a sample company that you can use throughout the course.
