The amount of training required by a learner to achieve a qualification/unit depends on:
- The starting point of the learner.
- Their learning skills.
- The mode of delivery by Datum College.
- The breadth and complexity of the skills and knowledge to be acquired.
If the learner has a significant amount of relevant prior experience, it may be that the learner can proceed directly to the assessment process (RPL) for some units, so the amount of training will be reduced.
Similarly, if the learner has already achieved some of the units of competency required to successfully complete this qualification at Datum College, only a proportion of the qualification will need to be delivered and the amount of training will be reduced.
Alternatively, if the learner is facing challenges, such as the need for substantial preparation, learning support, reasonable adjustments and/or personal coaching the amount of training will need to be increased to meet their needs.
