There are two blended learning delivery options available for this certificate.

You may opt for face-to-face delivery, which requires one full day of on-campus attendance per week in addition to self-paced online learning.

Alternatively, you may choose to undertake online delivery, which requires live online participation two evenings per week (generally after work hours), in addition to ongoing self-paced learning.

Please note that both options require scheduled contact hours with your tutor and classmates in addition to self-paced learning.

Your learning in this certificate is clustered, allowing you to focus intensively on each topic before moving onto the next cluster. Delivered in order, these clusters are:

1. Design of learning programs
2. Delivery of learning programs, plus Language, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN)
3. Workplace assessment.

Learning activities include discussions, quizzes, peer presentations, small group work, online research tasks, simulations, creating workplace documents. These activities and the participant manual form a core component of the course and the relevant activities will need to be completed prior to the live session each week.

You’ll engage in workplace-based assessment projects relating to the design, delivery and assessment of training.
