INDUSTRY PROJECT OR WORK EXPERIENCE This is the final requirement that you must satisfy before receiving your award. There are two options available to you to satisfy this requirement: Alternative 1. If you work in the computer industry (eg. as a tecnician, traineee technician or in some form of tech support); you may submit a reference from your employer, in an effort to satisfy this industry (ie. workplace project) requirement; on the basis of RPL (ie. recognition for prior learning), achieved through your current and past work experience. The reference must indicate that you have skills and an awareness of your industry, which is sufficient for you to work in a position of responsibility. Alternative 2. If you do not work in the Information Technology industry, you need to undertake a project as follows. Procedure for a Workplace Project This project is a major part of the course involving the number of hours relevant to the course (see above). Although the course does not contain mandatory work requirements, work experience is seen as highly desirable. This project is based on applications in the work place and specifically aims to provide you with the opportunity to apply and integrate skills and knowledge developed through various areas of this course. You will design this project in consultation with a tutor to involve industry based activities in the area of specialized study which they select to follow in the course. The project outcomes may take the form of a written report, folio, visuals or a mixture of forms. Participants with relevant, current or past work experience will be given exemption from this project if they can provide suitable references from employers that show they have already fulfilled the requirements of this project. Your 200 hours may be split into two projects each of 100 hours. This will offer the student better scope to fulfill the needs of their course and to meet the number of hours required. Alternatively, you may wish to do one large project with a duration of 200 hours. You will be assessed on how well they achieve the goals and outcomes they originally set as part of their negotiations with their tutor. During each 100 hours of the project, you present three short progress reports. These progress reports will be taken into account when evaluating the final submission. The tutor must be satisfied that the work submitted is original. If you wish to do one large 200 hour report, then only three progressive reports will be needed (however the length of each report will be longer).   To learn how to enrol click here
