How will the course content be covered?
The MRWED Diploma of Training and Assessment has three primary pathways of development; a “fully-formal” pathway; a “recognition” pathway and, an “assessment only” pathway. In addition to this, candidates will have the option to take advantage of a “blended pathway” which combines your choice of pathways.
Fully-Formal Training (Face to Face, Correspondence)
Where the focus of the Diploma candidate is on gaining new competencies, a learning and assessment pathway will be the most common and relevant pathway to be accessed The training can be completed by face-to-face classroom training or correspondence study.
Course candidates who are unable to attend face-to-face training can select a correspondence course option. This enables candidates to complete their course independently without needing to attend a training location. The course is entirely self-paced and help is available from a tutor who is assigned to each candidate. The tutor is contactable through email and MRWED’s Freecall phone number anytime during business hours.
Recognition
This pathway has many names – Skills Recognition, Recognition of Current Competence (RCC) and Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). Where the focus of the candidate is on gaining recognition for existing competencies, the recognition pathway will be the most relevant. Candidates with prior training and/or assessment experience and/or other training and educational qualifications will be best placed to use this pathway.
Assessment-Only
Where the candidate feels that they have the requisite competencies, but cannot easily prove these through recognition, the assessment-only pathway is likely to be the best option. This enables candidates to prove competency by completing the assessment component of the course only, without any training materials or trainer support.
Blended
This option is best for candidates who want flexibility in their study options. As such, they can complete the course using any range of MRWED study modes (i.e. by combining face-to-face, correspondence, recognition and assessment-only options).
