Darlene: The course is divided into two programs the first program is for all staff – all current staff within the VET sector, so that includes your security staff, your cleaners, your administration, your support workers, lecturers and teachers.
Jen: The second program really is designed specifically for educators to consider around their training and delivery and assessment strategies, how they may better support students with disabilities. Program One takes about 45 minutes to complete and Program Two takes approximately 90 minutes.
Darlene: Once you’ve successfully completed a program you’ll receive a certificate. The course is designed so you can drop in and out at any time. Jen: If you’re new to VET or you’ve been an educator for very many years this is a great opportunity for you to do some additional learning and further build your skills around supporting students with disability. It’s a fabulous opportunity for you to get your competency and currency for your VET educator practice.
