In addition, you’ll receive training in problem-solving, teamwork, planning and organising, self-management and continued learning.
Classes are interactive and give you many opportunities to discuss the theory and practise new skills. You will participate in classes where the teacher will demonstrate the required skills and where you will have the opportunity to practise the assessment tasks in our simulated work environment under supervision.
You will be required to complete some online learning activities for each course. Learner directed study activities include research, reading, and/or theoretical practice tests or assessments.
You will also participate in face-to-face learning, including tutorials, lectures and practical classes.
Assessment methods include exams, assignments, projects and practical activities.
Practical assessments are conducted in the simulated work environment under the supervision of the teacher. You will be required to perform a number of activities and assessed against the criteria that you will be provided.
You need to achieve a satisfactory result in the theory and practical assessment to pass each course.
Theory assessments are generally completed online in Canvas, the Learning Management System.
This nationally recognised vocational education and training (VET) qualification is competency-based. This means that it is designed to enable you to develop the practical skills and knowledge (competency) needed to perform the duties and tasks in the job for which you are training.
Assessment in a competency-based program is about being able to demonstrate that you have developed these practical skills and areas of knowledge, and that you can perform at the standard required in the job. This could involve showing an assessor how you plan and carry out tasks and explaining to the assessor how you know what you are doing. It could also involve completing a project and presenting a report on the process and outcomes. If you are working, your work supervisor may provide the assessor with a report on your competency.
The types of classes you have will depend on the course you’re studying. Classes are offered in various formats designed to provide meaningful engagement with staff, industry and peers and provide for access and use of spaces where learning can be applied and active, including an array of specialised equipment.
Most RMIT courses do not include passive large-scale classes such as lectures, instead the content traditionally provided in lectures is made available online. This may be in the form of readings, videos or other on-demand learning materials. This content will also support the basis of interactive learning that takes place in on-campus classes.
The world is constantly changing, and there are universal skills that can help you adapt to the evolving nature of work and global engagement.
As part of your study experience at RMIT, we provide 6 future-focused RMIT Capabilities:
