TAE50216 Diploma of Training Design and Development

This type of learning environment offers the perfect blend of flexibility and support. Students can attend live sessions consisting of trainer-led discussions, and participation in group collaboration activities from any location without the cost or hassle of travelling to a particular venue. All unit theory is delivered via recorded lessons available 24/7. The only thing needed is a computer with reasonable Internet connection, webcam, and audio functionality. Read about the massive benefit of virtual classes here.

The Virtual+ classes plus online learning consists of:

• Six live and interactive online sessions with a trainer developing practical elements of each workbook, delivered bi-monthly throughout the duration of the course which you can repeat as many times as you want! *
• Recorded lessons covering unit theory (available 24/7)
• Four units delivered solely by recorded webinar
• Access to recorded online tutorials covering unit assessment ‘how to’ information
• Trainer-led live Q&A support sessions

*During each session you will interact with your trainer and fellow students. You will have the opportunity to develop drafts, network with other students and gain valuable hands-on experience with many of the assessment tasks. These practical elements will not cover any assessment tasks which are required to be observed, however, you will have the opportunity to link up with fellow attendees to complete these tasks at a later date. You can attend the same live session multiple times once you have viewed the corresponding unit theory lessons. We recommend that students attend or review approximately one session per month over the 18 months of the course.

You can view the schedule for these sessions here.

2. Recorded unit theory lessons: You are able to view several recorded lessons covering the unit theory, multiple lessons are available for each of the 10 units in this course.

4. Independent learning and assessment activities: students will reflect on, consider and, where possible, integrate their learning into their professional practice.

(Note: All webinar sessions (including any verbal contribution made by you) will be recorded and subsequently used as a pre-recorded webinar for access by other students.  However no personal details are made available from the recording.)

Our new Distance+ course offers a learning environment where students have the opportunity to complete their studies at their own pace. Our distance course offers students access to a wealth of resources to help them complete their studies. 

The Distance+ course consists of:

• Recorded webinars covering all course unit theory (available 24/7)
• Recorded online tutorials covering unit assessment ‘how to’ information
• Fortnightly trainer-led live Q&A support sessions

Students can view recorded unit theory webinars as many times as required throughout the duration of the course.

Our Distance+ course is self-paced and offered over an 18 month duration. Although this is a self-paced course students will be required to interact with others (including other training professionals) throughout their course. It is training and assessment after all!

The Distance+ course consists of a combination of:

• Self-paced learning and assessment: Distance learning students access their learning materials electronically, interact with their instructors and assessors via telephone or email, and submit their completed assessments via the Learner Portal. Your Learner Guide and Assessment Workbook is included in the Learner Portal, and you will work through these at your own pace.
• Independent learning and assessment activities: Wherever possible, it will be beneficial to consider and integrate your learning into your professional practice.
