This course requires you to read learner workbooks, complete a range of written assessments, undertake independent research activities and engage in forums and discussions. To demonstrate the necessary skills, each applicant will be required to complete a language, literacy and numeracy assessment.

We will conduct a Pre-Training Review of an applicant’s current competencies. The Pre-Training Review will:

• Identify any skills or competencies previously acquired to ascertain a suitable, and the most suitable qualification for each student.
• The student’s existing educational attainment, capabilities, aspirations and interests. This will guide us to consider any future study or employment goals that the student has.
• Identify any barriers to learning and steps to overcome these.
• Ascertain that the proposed learning strategies and materials are appropriate for that individual.

A variety of teaching, learning and assessment strategies are used to support course delivery to ensure theoretical and practical skills are achieved.

These may include but not limited to:

• Lectures discussions, and classroom activities
• Research & Project work
• Written Assessments

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is an assessment pathway, which the learners can utilise to gain recognition regarding the skills, knowledge and experience gained through work experience, life experience, training courses and work-based training. This is assessed against the evidence requirements of one or more units of competency.

The RPL process will suit the learners better if they have:

• Paid or unpaid work experience
• Prior formal training
• Skills and knowledge gained on the job
• Community work experience
• Short courses and work-based learning
• Trade skills
• Other life experience

The RPL process allows students to receive recognition under these circumstances and therefore enables them to focus more on areas where they need to achieve competency to gain their qualification. Students who believe they already have some of the competencies in the course may apply for RPL. An essential requirement of RPL is that the student can prove that they currently have the required competencies.

The RPL assessor available for the learner will discuss with the learner about the different evidence required for RPL assessment. Some of the evidence that will be collected from the learners include:

• Work appraisals
• Resume and references
• Eye witness testimonials
• Job Descriptions
• In house training certificates
• Informal RPL Interviews
• Photos or actual work samples
• Relevant formal qualifications
• Observation at your workplace or a simulated workplace

Credit transfer involves granting credit for Units in which the student is already competent in partial or full completion of a qualification. Lyons College recognises qualifications and/or Statements of Attainment issued by other RTO’s, however, it reserves the right to verify any qualifications submitted for authenticity. To apply for credit transfer, students must complete the Credit Transfer Application and attach copies of verified documents to support their application.

Successful completion means you are eligible to enrol into the BSB60420 Advanced Diploma of Leadership and Management, or a range of other Diploma qualifications.

Possible job outcomes may include but not limited to:

• Area Manager
• Team Leader
• Department Manager
• Senior Manager
• Regional Manager
• Team Leader
• Senior Manager

What is the VET Student Loans Program?

The VET Student Loans program is an income contingent Australian Government loan program that helps eligible students enrolled in approved courses at diploma level or above, pay their tuition fees. The loan has income-contingent repayment arrangements, which means you only need to make repayments if you are earning above the minimum repayment threshold. You can make voluntary repayments at any time.

If you are an eligible student, the Department of Education, Skills and Employment (the Department) may approve your VET Student Loan for an approved course. The Department will pay your loan directly to your approved course provider. You will be responsible for any gap amount in the tuition fees, which are not covered by the loan. You will owe a debt to the Australian Government for the loan, which will be managed by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
