The classes are dynamic in nature and designed every term before the commencement of the term by Lecturers and assessors in consultation
with the course coordinator.
The teaching methods include theoretical concepts and classroom discussion with cases of various technical requirement and complication.
Students will be assisted to develop skills and knowledge to fully meet the requirements for each competency unit and their elements.
