Learners can select any pathway that suits their role.

These qualifications are assessed at work. Your Training Advisor will observe and ask questions of the learner as they perform a task, or will look at a portfolio  of work that the learner has built as formal evidence of learning.

The Practice qualification is designed to assess learners knowledge and competence in the work placement. This qualification contains both mandatory and optional units.

The Learner is required to carry out a series of tasks that are externally assessed in the workplace. At the end of the qualification the learner is required to have a discussion with their Training Advisor before confirmation of assessment can be made.
