This qualification consists of 12 units of competency: 2 units from the Business Services Training Package, 4 specialist units from e-Business and 6 units from the Information Technology Training Package.

There are no pre-requisites for entry.

It is recommended that the learning and assessment programs be completed in the sequential order listed above as they build on skills and knowledge and provide continuity of learning.

Delivery Mode

The learning and assessment strategies will use the technology of E-learning to enrich the face-to-face classroom delivery experience and introduce individuals to online delivery. This approach immerses individuals in selected E-learning contexts and allows for the development of computer and technology fluency. The learning programs will use a problem-oriented delivery approach that requires individuals to use the technology and its application to work-based tasks.

Individuals will need to have the use of a PC or Mac, with MS Word and PowerPoint software and Internet access (56K modem or faster) for online activities.

Any individuals that do not have access to a computer outside the scheduled classroom times are encouraged to discuss their needs with UTS Training and Development Services.

Nominal duration includes 11 days off-the-job, approximately 32 hours of structured online activities and it can be expected that you may require an additional 21 days to complete the work-based assessment projects.

• Program 3: Becoming an E-trainer
• Programs 4, 5 and 6: Design a Multimedia Solution (1), Apply a Multimedia Solution (2) and Create a Multimedia Solution (3) can be combined into one set.
