Assessment
Assessment is conducted using a range of methods including written questioning, case studies, scenarios, research tasks and practical demonstration, within the classroom and in the workplace.

There is an 80-hour x 2-week (min) work placement component to the course (10 x 8-hour shifts) arranged by EmployEase. Placement is undertaken either in a Health facility or in some circumstances an Aged Care facility. Some variation to the hours of placement may occur especially when using a Health Service for
placement. Placement shifts are likely to commence at 7am and finish at 3pm. Placement is compulsory and is scheduled at the conclusion of timetabled training.

We aim to arrange placement as close as practicable to the region in which you study or live, however especially when using major health facilities this may not always be possible, and students must be prepared to undertake travel.

Unfortunately, placement cannot be undertaken at locations which fall outside of our standard delivery areas. We specialise in training people who have been out of the workforce or education for a period of time. Our goal is to make your training relevant, inclusive and most importantly, enjoyable and fun.
Other assessment methods include written assessments completed online via our LMS (online campus). In class assessments include various demonstrations and role plays

Important Note About Work Placement – Flu Vaccination and Immunisations
Health and Aged Care facilities are now requiring students to have proof of immunisation including the flu vaccination prior to placement. At the commencement of this course you will be given an immunisations form. Students will need to attend their doctor/health practitioner and have this form completed by the doctor. You may be required to have a blood test to check your immunity if you have not had recent immunisations.
