| Description: | Volume of learning includes all activities required to be undertaken by the typical student to achieve learning outcomes. For further information refer to AQF Volume of Learning: An Explanation (pdf).Education Access Australia has set the expected duration for this qualification at 1 year (52 weeks). This duration has been set taking into account the AQF volume of learning indicators, which is typically 0.5 – 2 years (600 – 2400 hours) for a Certificate IV and the target learner group which will have limited existing skills relating to the program. It is considered that the duration and amount of training provided will allow students the opportunity to fully absorb the required knowledge, as well as develop skills over time. This amount is not reduced to account for existing competencies, as most learners will not have any prior relevant experience. The volume of learning allocated for this qualification includes all training, learning and assessment activities that are required to be undertaken by the Learner to achieve the learning outcomes. These activities include face-to-face instructional sessions (such as theory training, simulated training and supervised assessment etc.), unsupervised self-study and term breaks. |
