What you will achieve

• Evaluate feasible alternatives using quality, safety, people and resource implications.
• Apply management principles to a substantial fictional or anonymised workplace project.
• Justify professional decisions, including uncertainty, ethical boundaries and escalation.
• Develop an accountable implementation and evaluation plan with review and stop conditions.

Allow approximately 25 hours of active learning: twelve 90-minute units (teaching and worked-example analysis, directed source comparison and a written practical activity), six hours to plan, write and revise the applied project, and one hour for examination and review. This is an estimate of study and applied work, not 25 hours of video or audio; individual study time varies.

Assessment

Complete twelve narrated units, directed study and saved workbook activities. Pass a 40-question examination selected from a 48-question bank at 80%, plus a separately assessed 1,500–2,500-word applied assignment. Both must pass before a diploma is issued. Examination retakes and assignment revisions are included. Assignment marking is not instant; you can check its status in your learning area.
