Certificate IV in Health Administration

MODE OF DELIVERY

The Blended mode of delivery of theory and simulation-based training will be achieved mostly through virtual classrooms and professional experience placement (PEP) at relevant workplaces.

The blended mode of delivery will accommodate students across Australia

Simulation based training and assessment will be conducted online and/or through a real time video streaming. Face-to-face simulation-based training and assessment may be conducted if required

Modules will be delivered through IHNA LMS, and students will be expected to complete the formative assessments as part of the learning process.

Educators will share information referencing to online books and videos recommended for the course and instruct students to complete exercises and post in discussion forums created in LMS. Educators can review and provide feedback for the activities/posts in real-time or later.

Simulation assessments may be arranged upon completing theoretical aspects of the units within a study period.

Students can commence the Professional Experience Placement after completing Simulation-Based Assessments satisfactorily.

The course includes 16 hours of Professional Experience Placement (PEP).

Trainers/ Assessors or delegates will visit the PEP venue to observe students in the workplace environment and complete the observation checklist. Feedback of student participation and initiative will be taken from the workplace supervisor

Our approach is to collect evidence on whether the student can perform to the standards of the workplace. This is based on the relevant unit of competency, and you’ll find these tools being used:

• Theory Assessments (TA)
• Knowledge Based Assessments (KBA)
• Simulation Based Assessments (SBA)
• Professional Experience Placement (PEP)

With RPL we assess your competency based on formal, non-formal, informal learning or direct work experience based on the required skills of the course.

We use CT where you’ve completed units of study at another TAFE College or Registered Training Organisation that meet the requirements of another course. We grant credit according to the Certification, Issuing, and Recognition of Qualifications and Statements of Attainment. Assessing a CT is free.

If you’re eligible for RPL or CT you may be able to complete the course in a shorter duration with reduction to total course fees. Check your eligibility with us.
