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’s 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 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 are 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 7 hours per week known as unsupervised hours. These additional hours are for study skills or further research. For example, an individual not working in industry would need more time to review industry websites usually introduced in workplace compliance training.

Individuals working in the industry may be able to complete the course requirements in a shorter timeframe or less hours per week.

If an individual applies for extensions beyond the 26-week completion timeframe or is granted special consideration, the maximum period of time to complete this qualification is two years from the qualification activation date. If enrolling in single subjects with the intention of completing a qualification, the two-year timeframe is calculated from the initial activation date of the first subject.

Additional study-related fees apply to formal extensions and re-enrolments. Please refer to the Vocational Education Fees schedule found here.
