Recognition of competence through VHIA assessment services (Module 5.2 and Orientation to Leadership and Management E-learning Series only)

Recognition of competency is available through successful completion of specified assessment tasks.  Participants will be assessed against the unit of competence BSBMGT605A Provide Leadership Across the Organisation.  If deemed competent, the participant is issued with a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment for the unit.

It is recommended that the participant complete as a minimum the free online module 5.2 Introduction to Leadership and Management or preferably the Orientation to Leadership and Management E-learning Series before completing the assessment.  Assessment involves the participant submitting four items of evidence to the assessor.
1. Self assessment
2. Written report of between 600 to 1000 words
3. Report of the mentoring process
4. Supervisors' Report

Assessment is conducted by the MTAA's training partner, VHIA Training.  Full information about the unit of competence and the assessment requirements is provided to the participant prior to them undertaking an assessment.

The assessment service is available at $550 per person (including GST).  Individuals or companies interested in undertaking assessment should contact VHIA Training on P:(+613) 9861 4000 or E: training@vhia.com.au
