Assertiveness and healthy self-esteem are valuable attributes in today’s society, however being able to express thoughts and feelings in a confident, self-assured manner can be difficult for some. If this is you, it is actually not an issue as it’s also a skill that can be learned and refined!

Assessment Information
When you study with Australian Online Courses, you will be assessed using a competency-based training method.
Competency-based training focuses on the achievement of skills and knowledge against set criteria to meet industry-standard and is not benchmarked against other students’ work.
In this course, the assessment will be comprised of written assignments and exercises, which may include short answer questions, reports, essays, research projects and reflective tasks.
If you do not achieve a competency result on your first attempt, you have two more attempts to pass your assessment. So, you have three attempts in total to obtain a competency result.
