What You'll Learn

Learning and assessment occurs in two distinct phases. The first phase includes virtual classroom learning, self-paced learning and theory-based assessment. This is followed by the practical placement phase where skills and knowledge are applied and practised and work-based assessment occurs. Relationships with practical placement partners are established and managed by Aged Care Training Services.

Phase 1

  • Learning is scheduled as virtual face to face training sessions, with self-paced activities and completion of assignments scheduled in between classes. Training sessions will include theoretical learning as well as skills-based learning using simulated scenarios. Learners will also have the opportunity to visit a workplace to put their learning into context. Self-paced learning will include additional reading (pre and post sessions) and research and assigned learning activities
  • The assessment in phase 1 includes a written response knowledge-based assessment at the end of each cluster

Phase 2

  • Learning in phase 2 occurs in the workplace through the completion of day-to-day practical work tasks under the guidance and supervision of a nominated workplace supervisor during practical placement. Learners will also complete a workplace journal that includes assigned tasks and reflective activities to consolidate their learning practice and provide the assessor with supplementary evidence of the learner’s competency
  • Workplace observation assessments will occur during scheduled visits to the workplace/ aged care facility by the assessor during phase 2 when an individual is ready to be assessed. The assessor will also gather feedback from the nominated workplace supervisor at the end of phase 2
