This module is designed on the assumption that most of the participants will
achieve the learning outcomes specified in 16 hours. The length of time taken
to complete a module will vary, depending on factors such as teaching method
used, knowledge and skills at entry, and individual participant’s ability.

This module provides for delivery off-the-job.

Some areas of content may be common to more than one learning outcome, and thus
integration may be appropriate.

The integration of this module with other modules, for the purposes of
delivery, may reduce the nominal hours.

Where appropriate, problem-solving processes must be incorporated in this
module:

- identify routine problems
- address options
- implement solutions.

Delivery strategies should be selected to reflect the nature of the learning
outcomes and the needs of the learner.

Delivery strategies should

Internal Assessment 100%

A range of methods are suggested for measuring progress towards and achievement
of learning outcomes in this module. The following definitions provide

answers

- Written Short Answer: A written response item consisting of a
question/s with answers of a single word, a few words, a sentence, or a
paragraph

- Case Study: An opportunity to display problem solving and decision
making skills is provided in a simulated context

- Practical Display: The completion of a specified task or set of
procedures, normally performed under close supervision, using a detailed
checklist.
