Learning Methods

The AWCC White Card Program has three (3) components:

  1. The Theory Element conducted face-to-face in a classroom environment.
  2. The Practical Element practicing and implementing skills learned on the day.
  3. The Assessment Function covers both a theory knowledge assessment and practical skills demonstration to display competency.

Throughout the program, students are offered multiple opportunities to demonstrate knowledge and skills learned.

In the unlikely event a student falls short of competency in either the theory, practical or both will be required to re-book into the program again at the full course cost.
