Certificate IV in Governance
ASSESSMENT
1. Overview
The course you are enrolled in comprises intensive group workshop days and follow-up tasks which are designed to help you to apply the course content, tools and concepts, and for the facilitators to assess if you have completed all of the course requirements
The workshop themes are:
- Governing
- Planning
- Communicating
- Sustaining
The Governance Program is assessed against the component modules listed in the course workbook. These comprise the requirements for completion of the nationally recognised qualification CERTIFICATE IV IN GOVERNANCE - BSB40907.To successfully complete the course and be awarded the qualification you must demonstrate competency against all of these modules. The course schedule, follow-up assessments and project work are carefully designed to enable you to do so, and - importantly - to enable you also to apply your learning.
For the successful completion of this qualification, participants must complete a series of workplace/Board-related assessment tasks and projects. Assessment tasks can be completed and submitted progressively after the workshop completion. This program requires participants to undertake some self-directed learning in order to successfully complete the course. Participants should allow approximately 4 hours per week over 6 to 9 months to complete the self-directed learning and assessment tasks
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is available on enrolment.
To successfully complete the course and be awarded the qualification you must demonstrate competency against all of the 10 modules. When you have successfully completed and submitted the assessments your work will be reviewed and you will be given some feedback, or extra guidance if it is not quite up to the mark. We will do everything we can to assist you to complete the course
It is important to understand that in this type of program absolute right and wrong answers are not always required as your own circumstances will differ to those of other participants.
2. Learning Materials
Your workbook includes extra learning materials covering most of the course requirements. Learning guides include questions and exercises to assist you to apply ideas and concepts, and to clarify learning.
Other learning materials are provided during the workshops and of course many are readily available online at www.ourcommunity.com.au.
3. Assessment Tasks
3.1. Workshop
The workshops comprise instruction, discussion, examples, case studies, role plays and personal experiences. Your active participation is expected though you will not be required to do anything that makes you too uncomfortable.
3.2. Written
The written assessments comprise questions and review projects. These are included in your workbook notes in hard copy and will be emailed to you following the workshops in MS Office formats.
The questions generally cover materials covered in the workshops, and some may have been completed in workshop or learning guide activities. Each unit requires assessments to be submitted with a mentor checklist/supervisor validation also required for each unit/module.
3.3. Other
There is an opportunity to apply for recognition of prior learning and experience if you desire. It is worth noting, however, that the governance qualification does not always readily cross match with other similar management qualifications. Please talk with your facilitator about this if you want to know more.
