While the overwhelming majority of assessments are completed during the 10 days of training, there are three simple workplace activities for the students to complete between the two sessions (in either a real or simulated workplace). The trainer assessor will provide each student with a workbook to record these workplace activities and will discuss the workbook requirements in detail during the first session of the program. The trainer assessor is also available for phone and email support throughout the program.
