Expected Effort
Blended Learning International adopts adult-learning principles, and all students are treated as adult learners. Participants in this program are therefore expected to take charge of their own learning process and observe the following:
• ensure all assignments are completed on time (unless granted exemption(s) through recognition of prior learning);
• participate in class discussions and activities; and
• attend all scheduled classes, otherwise inform the trainer prior to the class.
 

Assessment Overview
All assessment of units of competence will be conducted in accordance with the assessment guidelines and competency standards of the officially endorsed Training Package for the Certificate IV in Business .
Assessments will be conducted for each part of the training program and the processes will be valid, reliable, fair and flexible. The assessment procedures and the criteria for judging performance will be made clear to all participants enrolled in this program.
Assessment processes will cover the broad range of skills and knowledge needed to demonstrate competency and will integrate knowledge and skills with their practical application. Assessment processes will provide for the recognition of competencies no matter how, where or when they have been acquired.
 

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
Where a participant feels that he or she has already achieved the skills for any unit of competence, then that person can be given credit for, or an exemption from, the unit. This prior learning may have occurred through formal or informal training, through work or life experience. It is a process whereby you are given credit for what you can already do.
Blended Learning International also recognises qualifications issued by other Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) as long as these qualifications are current and relevant to this program. If you believe that this applies to you, then you should ask for a Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) application form.
