This course and employment as a vocational trainer can involve moderate physical activity, including kneeling and bending. Intelligent Training Solutions does not accept any responsibility for any harm suffered by you as a result of your participation in the course. If you have any special needs (including those in relation to Language, Literacy or Numeracy), a relevant disability or condition, or any other concerns, you should raise these prior to enrolment.

At Intelligent Training Solutions, our commitment is to offer an educational experience that caters to a diverse range of learners. This course is designed as a Blended Delivery Course, which is a comprehensive blend of face-to-face study*, personal online study, and, on occasion, workplace assessments or video-recorded evaluations.

BENEFITS OF A BLENDED DELIVERY COURSE:

1. Flexibility: This approach offers students the best of both worlds: the personal touch of face-to-face instruction* and the convenience of online study.
2. Diverse Learning Methods: Some students grasp concepts best in a live classroom setting, while others thrive with online resources. A blended format ensures all learning styles are catered for.
3. Enhanced Engagement: Varied delivery methods can reduce monotony and enhance engagement, ensuring that the learning process is dynamic and continuous.
4. Practical Exposure: Workplace or video-recorded assessments simulate real-world scenarios, offering students a hands-on experience and preparing them for practical challenges in their careers.

CLARIFYING FACE-TO-FACE INSTRUCTION METHODS AT I.T.S

At Intelligent Training Solutions, when we reference “face-to-face instruction” or “tuition,” we understand it can encompass various formats. To ensure clarity, we want our prospective students to recognise the two specific methods we employ under this terminology:

1. In-class Face-to-Face Tuition: This traditional method involves physical classroom settings where you, as a student, attend sessions in person. Here, you’ll share the learning environment directly with both trainers and students, engaging in live discussions, group activities, and immediate feedback.
2. Live Online Webinars: A modern adaptation of face-to-face interaction, this method doesn’t require physical presence but retains real-time engagement. Through digital platforms, you participate in live online classes, interacting actively with trainers and classmates. It provides the immediacy of a classroom setting while allowing you to join from anywhere with an internet connection.

Both of these formats prioritise direct, real-time engagement with educators and peers. The choice between them typically depends on individual preference, logistics, or course-specific requirements. Rest assured, either method aims to deliver an interactive and dynamic learning experience at ITS.

DISTINGUISHING FEATURES OF I.T.S’s BLENDED DELIVERY:

• Dedicated Support: Unlike most blended or online courses, each student at ITS is paired with a dedicated trainer and assessor. This expert will coordinate with you, offering guidance throughout your learning journey. What’s more, we guarantee weekly contact, ensuring that you always have the motivation and resources to progress steadily.
• Live and On-Demand Webinars: While our live scheduled webinars are invaluable, we understand that everyone’s schedule may not align. This is why ITS boasts a rich media library containing recordings of past courses. If you miss a live session or wish to revisit a lesson, these resources are at your fingertips, allowing you to learn at your own pace and on your own time.

In essence, our Blended Delivery Course is not just about imparting knowledge but ensuring that you have all the resources, support, and flexibility to master it. Your success is our mission, and we’re with you every step of the way.

The enrolment fee for this course is $1,580 per person.

It’s crucial to understand that our blended delivery course is not merely a self-paced online course. While it offers the adaptability of online learning, it pairs this with face-to-face instruction, the dedicated guidance of a trainer and assessor, and consistent weekly check-ins to support and ensure your steady progression throughout the course.

STUDENT INVESTMENT: Up to 6 months | The volume of learning assigned to this course is between 100 – 200 hours**. This means a typical student will complete this course over six months with a minimum of four hours a week for the 26 weeks.

The actual time investment will depend on your previous experience and knowledge with training and how much time you take to go through the extra learning materials available on the learner portal.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU ENROL

In order to deliver training under general (not direct) supervision, you must also have vocational competencies at least to the level being delivered and assessed. For example, if you intend to deliver training in construction, you must have suitable competencies (qualifications) in construction and have current industry skills directly relevant to the training and assessment being provided.

It must also be noted that this Skill Set does not allow you to assess a student formally. For that, you require the TAESS00019 Assessor Skill Set.
