How long do I have to complete the assessment?
You have 12 months from the start date of your course to complete all assessments. Typically, all Module Assessments are completed within 9 months. Note, this is about half of the standard timeframe for a Diploma qualification, due to our pre-requisite that learners have at least 1 year of experience working on projects.
What support is available to help me complete the assessment?
Our Support Team is available weekdays as your first point of contact. If they can't answer your question, then they will forward your enquiry to your assessor who will respond directly to you.
How will I get feedback on my assessments?
Assessments are submitted, and results provided, through our secure Student Portal. Once you submit your assessment through the Student Portal, your assessor will provide results and written feedback within 10 days. If further work is required to pass the assessment, then you will have the opportunity to resubmit the assessment, taking into account your assessor's comments. If needed, further guidance and support may be provided by email, phone, or online meeting.
How much work is the assessment outside training sessions?
Based on feedback from former students, it takes approximately 60 hours over a 9-12 month duration.
Can I use workplace examples from past projects for my assessment?
Yes, provided you substantially contributed to the documents (i.e. they represent your work); they are no more than 5 years old; and they are not classified (i.e. do not require any form of security clearance), then you may provide evidence from past projects in the work-based assessment tasks. Assessors and administrative staff who may have access the documents are bound by confidentiality agreements and all work-based evidence is deleted from our servers 6-months after course completion.
