For each unit of competency, you will be asked to complete a range of assessment tasks that will demonstrate your knowledge and skills on the topic being assessed. These assessment tasks may include questions, written reports, case study analysis, workplace examples and practical demonstrations of your skills. The practical demonstration of your skills will often involve you role playing a scenario that simulates a particular role in the workplace.
On submission of your assessment tasks, we aim to provide you with feedback within 5 working days. This time frame may be extended during school holiday periods. If your work requires more input or extra content, you will be given extra time to submit.
On enrolment, you will be allocated a qualified trainer with current experience in Christian ministry. As this course is delivered online, we offer a range of opportunities for you to engage with your allocated trainer where you can ask questions, gain clarification around the content of the course or the assessment tasks and receive training and support.
During your course, you are able to book an online individual support session with your trainer. You will be provided with a booking link at the beginning of your course.
