Certificate IV in Business

Workplace-based – consisting of 12 trainer-led sessions (8 online and 4 face-to-face), and both workplace and online activities

(Traineeship / Apprenticeship) Training undertaken at the workplace. All apprentices / trainees undertaking workplace based training for this qualification are withdrawn from routine work duties for a minimum of three hours per week, averaged over a four week cycle, for the purpose of un- dertaking structure training/learning activities (pro-rata for part time). Up to 12 months allocated time to complete the qualification.

Study methods include tutorials, self-paced online learning, workbook completion, as well as direct contact with teachers either for group or individual consultation. Monthly contact is conducted to monitor progress against the Training Plan. Trainers/assessors conduct a minimum of 4 workplace visits per year (not including the initial sign-up visit) including tutorials.

Note: Workplace based training must be agreed to by the employer, the apprentice/trainee, and the RTO if it is to be successful. The workplace must be OHS compliant at all times and the employer takes full responsibility for this matter.

Upon enrolment of all learning programs, Orange College’s code of practice states that all candidates for assessment will be offered RPL. This is reiterated in the student handbook and acknowledged in writing.

RPL is an assessment process that assesses an individual’s non-formal and informal learning to determine the extent to which that individual has achieved the required learning outcomes, competency outcomes, or standards for entry to, and/or partial or total completion of, a qualification.
