Delivery Mode

Learning

The learning component of our course is delivered online with our easy to use online learning system. Our learning materials are superbly presented in an interesting and interactive way and you can work through them at your own pace.

Assessment

Our assessments give you the opportunity to practice assessing in your area of expertise. This is a great way to build confidence and customise the course to your needs.
The assessment component of our course is blended with online and offline components. Some of the units in the TAESS00011 Assessor Skill Set require access to a suitable practice environment where you have access to learners so that you can practice assessing them. If you don't currently have a workplace that is a suitable practice environment we do provide a "simulated" practice environment that is accessed online, over the phone and through Skype. This simulated environment will provide a good practice environment for you for most of the units. Some of the units require you to assess students face-to-face. For these units you will need to find a suitable workplace. If you would like to discuss the assessment requirements further before enrolling feel free to call us!
