Mixed Delivery

What is Mixed Delivery Learning?

Blended or mixed-mode learning is a combination of some or all of the available methodologies so students, in conjunction with trainers, can select the best possible mix of delivery styles which meets their needs. This will be negotiated with participants as part of the Training Needs Analysis process to ensure mutually beneficial outcomes.

Delivery Methods

Face to Face Training

Classroom based learning or one-on-one training provides for a trainer to conduct training through a series of visits or classes where content is delivered to support learning outcomes. Assessment tasks and research activities are carried out between visits with the completed work sent to the trainer via mail or electronically. Work may also be collected by the trainer at the next visit.

Distance Learning

Distance delivery via correspondence allows participants to use a comprehensive set of paper- based learning resources that will guide learners through assessment tasks and supporting content. Learners can access support from trainers via email or phone if it is required.

Workplace Training

Workplace or on-the-job training simply means participants are applying theory to their daily tasks and up-skilling using work based activities. Orion offers three service levels catering for the needs of learners from those with minimal experience to existing workers with extensive experience.

Recognition of Prior Learning

RPL is the process of gathering evidence of existing skill sets gained through any formal or informal training that can be aligned to the units of competency which make up the qualification. If assessed as competent through RPL students do not have to undertake formal training and assessment activities in order to obtain competency in the unit.
