We believe that learning should take place within the context of running
a small business. Therefore, assessments require students to apply their
knowledge and skills to their own business or business idea, or in a
simulated business environment using a case study. In this way, the
training is directly relevant to your situation and you should see immediate
benefit from your studies.
Assessment will take the form of written assignments. There are no
exams.
TAFE SA takes into account any special needs of students so special consideration
can be negotiated.
STATUS (for previous studies) and Skills Recognition
Mutual Recognition
You may apply for exemption from part or the entire course as a result
of prior studies completed at school, TAFE, university, private colleges
or other educational institutions where a formal arrange-ment exists.
Documentary evidence must accompany the application, which can be obtained
from the Small Business Training Centre.
Recognition of Prior Learning
Not everyone enrolling in a TAFE course is a real beginner. If you
already have competence in an area of small business management, you
can ask to have those skills recognised. This is done through a formal
assessment of your prior formal or informal study, work experience,
training and life experience.
Documentary evidence must be provided. An application form can be obtained
from the Small Business Training Centre. A fee applies for this service.
