This course is typically delivered over 40-weeks (part time). However, as it is competency based, it may be possible for learners to complete their training sooner if they have reached the required skill level. The time allocation for this program may also include the clustering of units of competency for delivery which allows similar or complementary content items to be delivered at the same time thus reducing duplication in content covered and therefore reducing time required. The existing skills, knowledge and experience of learners will also be taken into consideration of amount of training required for this program cohort. Credit transfer for units previously completed at a nationally recognised training organisation may also reduce the time of this program.
The delivery mode will be face to face delivery on site at Trinity College. Work simulation and tasks will be undertaken to confirm competency. The recommended time allocation for on campus study in this program is as follows.
SIT20322 Certificate II in Hospitality
The rationale for this time allocation is:
• Self-paced study = 260 hours (6.5 hours per week)
• Assessment Preparation = 80 hours (2 hours per week)
• Classroom Training = 320 hours (8 hours per week)
• Assessment = 160 (4 hours per week)
= Total: 820 hours
All students have access to teachers in class and also via email.
Allocation of non-supervised time enables the student to work at their own pace to complete online learning.
Students are provided with learning and assessment materials through Moodle.
