What are the entry requirements?
As this program provides training for senior management positions, it is recommended that candidates have extensive experience in this or a related field. If this is not the case, it is suggested that you discuss your situation with your supervisor and/or with us before applying. You must also be employed in a workplace where you can carry out statutory compliance activities, because this will be needed for assessment.
On the program, you will need to read laws and other legal documents, as well as writing reports. If you are not sure whether you have the literacy skills for this, please contact us.
What do I need to bring?
All you need to bring:
- Your own stationery (paper, pen, pencil etc)
- Calculator
- USB memory stick
Where will the training take place?
Training and assessment will take place at your workplace (if the training is organised through your job) or at a convenient venue organised by us. Please contact us if you would like further details. Training sessions will be held in a formal classroom environment and will also involve field operations involving realistic workplace-like scenarios. If you are already working in investigations, some assessment may be carried out on the job (with the agreement of your supervisor).
What will happen on the course, and how long will it take?
Learning and assessment will be entirely face-to-face. Training may include lectures, discussions, analysis of case studies, scenario-based activities, worksheets and other similar activities. You will also be asked to complete some reading (for example, AGIS and Fraud Control Guidelines) outside class. This will be essential preparation for other learning activities.
Assessment will include analysis of case studies (with written or oral questions), demonstrations (in which you are observed while you carry out typical work tasks relating to investigations), written questions and reports from third parties such as your supervisor. The program involves at least 76 hours of face-to-face instruction, and assessment activities, including the logbook, should be completed within 12 months.
Can I get credit for previous life or work experience?
Then you may be able to apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), Credit Transfer or National Recognition. See the main brochure for further information, or contact us. The procedure is the same for all qualifications we offer.
