Book a spot for you and your staff now! Take this opportunity to complete group assessment with other community recyclers!
Registration extended until Friday 14 October 2011
WHY?
EXITO’s focus is to encourage experienced community people into the Limited Credit Programme (LCP) course “Introduction to Resource Recovery” and start you on your pathway to National Qualifications. The Community Recycling Network 2011 Hui is taking place 1 – 3 November 2011 in Wellington. CRN Executive members suggested to EXITO that we combine our course with the hui, so you can get the most out of your trip.
WHAT?
A four hour assessment course, with follow-up practical assessment at your site. Unit standard assessment is not only about written knowledge, but about demonstrating your practice in the tasks you carry out in your workplace. The assessor, Sheryl, needs to observe you doing this to complete the assessments with you. You will be awarded the Limited Credit Programme (LCP) Certificate Introduction to Resource Recovery to recognise your skills in this valuable environmental service industry. The Certificate leads into National Certificates in Resource Recovery, and in Zero Waste Principles.
HOW MUCH?
$200 fee to EXITO, $450 Assessment fee, plus Assessor travel costs to your site. You have 4 months to complete the follow up assessment after the course, so plenty of time to organise cost-effective transport to your area.
BONUS…
1. If you complete the LCP assessment within 6 months of signing with EXITO,
2. and manage your own arrangements with Sheryl to come to your site for follow up assessment,
EXITO can offer you a rebate of $200 per person upon completion.
WHAT ELSE?
You will sign a training agreement with EXITO to undertake the LCP assessment. We need your enrolment and training agreement in order to arrange the resources for you in time for the course on 1 November 2011. So get in quick to get your space!
Let me know if you have any questions;
