Recognition of Prior Learning
All courses that we offer provide Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL. You can apply for RPL if you think that you are already competent in some of the course outcomes; however, you will need to provide evidence to support this.

Course Hours
Full-time: Minimum of 20-25 hours per week, Monday to Friday, and are be scheduled between 8.50am to 2.30pm.

Part-time: Courses are complementary to the full-time programs. Lectures are held as day and/or evening classes (dependent upon course and personal requirements) with contact hours varying between two and ten hours per week.

Academic Standards
A student must attain competency in all subjects to receive the course award. Students who do not achieve all required competencies are awarded an Academic Transcript only.

Means of Delivery
Lectures and Practical application of theory are the principal means by which course material is delivered. Most classes are conducted in an interactive fashion. Students are expected to ask questions and actively contribute to class discussions. A student needs to be an active member of the class rather than a passive member.

Students are required to attend not less than 90% of all scheduled lectures. Attendance, participation and contribution are a vital and necessary part of your study at Cairns Business College.

Assessment Methods
Assessment of academic performance in each subject unit is progressive and takes place throughout each teaching block. Typically, this assessment is comprised of a mix of work including class exercises, homework, field reports and assignments, tests, case studies, and final examinations. In many courses such as Hospitality, assessments may require practical applications. Lecturers will advise students of the particular requirements of each subject unit and of the conditions pertaining to assessment.

A student should be particularly mindful of the due dates of required work. It is also the student’s responsibility to ensure that all assignment work is handed in on the due date. Work which is lodged incorrectly or after the nominated due date will be deemed not to have been received.

Students should keep in mind that all work must evidence original thought, research and initiative, and must be all their own work. Cheating and plagiarism have serious consequences and may result in instant failure and the requirement to repeat that subject unit in its entirety.

A pass in all subject units and competence in all specified performance criteria forming a part of your course of study must be achieved in order to qualify for the award.

Graduation Requirements
Graduates participate in a formal graduation ceremony which is conducted in the presence of dignitaries and invited guests. Academic dress is required.
