Study Delivery

Blended or Mixed Mode is a combination of face-to-face and self-paced training and assessment is typically used to support courses that have practical elements. Learn through a combination of classroom based and self-paced learning. You will attend the course and participate in scheduled classes, have an element of self-directed learning and receive training and assessment from an industry qualified trainer. Face-to-face learning provides traditional classroom-based learning with both students and trainers attending in-person. Learning, collaborating and communication between students and trainers will occur at set times and locations which students will be advised of upon enrolment. Students are expected to undertake self-paced learning to complete the requirements of the course. This flexible approach minimises the time needed in the classroom to support students with busy lives.
