Students will be assessed through the following general methods of assessment that may apply for each unit.
Each of the selected methods must be completed/deemed satisfactory, as each method is only a partial completion.

This course includes 120 hours of professional vocational placement to be completed.

Before their vocational placement, students must complete prerequisite units to build a strong foundation of knowledge and skills for working in aged care environments.Students must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 before they commence their vocational placement.

While working in aged care can be incredibly rewarding, due to the nature of the work, students may encounter sensitive and challenging experiences such as supporting individuals with chronic illnesses or age-related conditions, addressing grief and loss, providing palliative care, and coping with the passing of those in their care.

Additionally, both vocational placement and employment in the aged care sector can be physically demanding. Students will need to perform tasks such as manual handling, operating medical and assistive equipment, and lifting or transferring patients.

It is important for prospective students to carefully consider these factors when deciding if this course is right for them.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a form of assessment that acknowledges skills and knowledge gained through formal training conducted by industry or education, work experience, and life experience to gain Nationally Recognised Qualification. Credit for previous studies is not recognition of prior learning.

Credit is producing evidence of units of competency/qualifications previously undertaken and successfully completed. Applications for Credit Transfer, must include units of competencies completed, duration of the course and evidence of completion (certificate and transcript or statements of attainment).
