Delivery Assessment Completion

As a busy working broker you will generally undertake two years part time study to complete the Graduate Diploma.

The course is offered in distance learning mode. Once you have enrolled, you will receive an email explaining how to access the unit materials. From there, you will use the online environment to participate in discussions, undertake research and complete assessment tasks.

The course materials consist of readings and self study activities that are designed to introduce you to key concepts and factual knowledge and to apply them in the work place. There are also links to industry information and legislation relevant to the study area.

As a tertiary level candidate you are expected to work through the learning resources thoroughly as an independent learner. While work is largely self-directed, each unit of study includes a detailed timetable for completion requirements. You will participate in learning activities that develop your theoretical understandings which are then applied in work based projects. There is a strong emphasis on developing projects that have direct relevance to your work needs and professional interests.

Planning your study period from the start can make a big difference to your learning. Prepare a study schedule to help keep track of your assignments, exams and important dates. Read your learning materials early as they contain useful tips on how to approach the coursework and assessment activities. Your learning guides include revision activities. Complete these as you read through the notes as they are designed to help you revise important parts of the course and prepare for your assessments.

Allow 10 –12 hours a week to study each unit. Your fi rst study period will probably take the most time, so it is good to allow a bit extra when you are starting. Consider when you are going to fi t study in – evenings or weekends? Planning actual times for study can reveal how much time you can realistically devote to it. Be realistic and don’t overload yourself.
