Duration
Individuals have a total of:
- 26 weeks to complete the learning and assessment requirements for the FNS40122 Certificate IV in Credit Management from their initial activation date.
- An additional four (4) weeks’ re-submission time – if an individual reaches the end of their initial enrolment period and has been deemed ‘not yet competent’ in one or more assessment items, then an additional four (4) weeks will be granted, provided the individual all assessment tasks have been attempted during the initial enrolment period. There is no fee for this extension.
This means if an individual completes the learning and assessment, and the re-submission time in every subject is granted, the duration will be 30 weeks.
The amount of training for this course may be up to six (6) hours per week. The amount of training is the hours an individual can expect to spend to complete their course work and assessments.
The assessment hours for this course is eight (8) hours per week. These are the hours a student can expect to spend engaged in assessment activities.
In addition to the amount of training, individuals who are new to industry or vocational training could need up to seven (7) hours per week, known as unsupervised hours.
