Workplace Learning (ADWPL) – Authority-developed endorsed program
Workplace Learning provides opportunities for students to develop skills in the workplace and obtain credit towards the Western Australia Certificate of Education (WACE).
It is primarily the responsibility of the student to find a suitable employer to host them and participants are required to maintain a Logbook and provide evidence of their workplace knowledge by completing a Skills Journal. The school will arrange all placement documentation including worksite checks and insurances.
To ensure that a quality experience is being provided, students will be monitored by both the employer and the school while in their workplaces to ensure that they are maintaining an appropriate level of performance. Any breach of workplace rules or regulations may result in immediate termination from this program.
Unit equivalence (SCSA)
Every 55 hours in the workplace (plus completed Logbook & Skills Journal) is the Unit equivalent of one unit towards WACE, to a maximum of 4 units. The total number of hours completed ‘on-the-job’ is reported on your Western Australian Statement of Student Achievement. Program delivery
