Why FACTS?
F.A.C.T.S. provides up to date information about courses and course content. We allow the student to learn at a pace that is conducive to them. The trainer or facilitator has many years experience in the industry along with teaching and learning. F.A.C.T.S. provides Competency Based Training (C.B.T.) which means that each unit is assessed independently of the others. There are 26 units all together to form the Diploma of Nursing (Enrolled/Division 2 nursing).
Forms of Assessment:
Each unit is separate but very closely related to each other, and together they form the Diploma of Nursing (Enrolled/Division 2 nursing). One unit may be assessed by classroom group discussion, multiple choice and short answer questions. Another unit may be assessed by an essay, group presentation and scenarios and yet another unit may be assessed by viewing a video, group discussion and workbook. So you can see that all assessments whether big or small are an important part of your
learning. Also the student is able to apply for reassessment if you were not able to reach competency on the 1st assessment.
Pathways:
Once you have completed the Diploma of Nursing (Enrolled/Division 2 nursing) you can then consider whether you want to go on to further study such as the Advanced Diploma of Nursing (Enrolled/Division 2 nursing) or to University to complete Division 1 Nursing.
