Time Commitment
The time it will take to develop competency in the units that form this qualification is dependent on existing skills and experience.
Typically, to complete within the specified course duration, it is recommended that students commit approximately 16-18 hours per week plus additional time for assessment to developing their competency through a range of learning, work-based skills testing and assessment activities.
Assessments
Within the AIM assessment model, competency is demonstrated through answering knowledge questions and completing workplace-based practical assessment tasks.
These tasks may include the need to utilise workplace-based activities involving others or participation in role plays, which will need to be videoed as part of the assessment evidence. You may be expected to source and research additional materials as part of your study.
