We use the 'Recognising Competency' model developed by the Community Services & Health Industry Training Board. More information on this model can be viewed at the CS&H ITB web site www.recognisingcompetency.org.au

'....all the tools and processes have been developed by industry leaders and experienced trainers and assessors to ensure that the process is reliable, consistent, and valid'..

Brian Spencer, Executive Officer CS&HITB 2007

The program involves our experienced trainers and assessors working with you to determine the knowledge and skills that you already have and therefore what learning needs to take place to match the qualification requirements.

We provide you with a simple kit and together you and the trainer build a learning and assessment program that meets your needs.

The model includes observation in the workplace and professional conversations with your trainer about your job and your work practices.

Once we have determined what you know and what skills you have we can then:

provide you official recognition via a statement of attainment, and/or
a training plan that will guide you to completing the course.

What if you need training?

If you have a gap in your knowledge or skills we will design a plan for you.

This plan might include training, mentoring or coaching in the workplace, attending a class or workshop or simply practicing new skills and being re-assessed.

Eligibility

Everyone is eligible to take part in a recognition program, regardless of the course or work situation. Some courses require observation in a workplace which involves us assessing your practical skills against the knowledge that is required. If you do not have a 'workplace' we may be able to organise one for you.

Obtaining recognition does not need to be a complicated, stressful and time consuming process that involves you collecting a stack of paperwork. This model is user friendly and a pleasure to participate in.

Please give our consultants a call and we can guide you through the different options that are available to you.

Funding

$250 Grants are available from the Government's new Skills stores for people who use the 'Competency Navigator'. This is a simple process which involves you attending a skills store, talking through your skills and knowledge with a helpful consultant and receiving a report that you then bring to us.

These grants can be used to help pay for your recognition program for 1 unit or a whole qualification.
