Skill areas
This Program will develop NDIA’s senior members who are managing investigations in three key skill areas including:
Emotionally Intelligent Leadership
Applied Operational Leadership
The NDIA Fraud and Investigation training program (PSP50416 Diploma of Government Investigations) is facilitated in 3 blocks consisting of fortnightly digital workshop sessions via MS Teams. Participants will be expected to engage in study and workplace activities in addition to the facilitated workshops to complete the requirements of the qualification.
Assessments will need to be completed during each block – some in workshop time, some in your own time, as negotiated with your supervisor.
The program take place over 12 months, the schedule for the program will be available pending further confirmation between NDIA & Wisdom Learning.
It is critical that participants are available to participate in all elements of the program.
The NDIA Fraud and Investigations Training will apply accelerated learning techniques using the Wisdom Way Learning Model, represented in the diagram below.
The Wisdom Way learning model includes:
Digital Workshops: Interactive facilitator led sessions (not e-learning) that enables structured learning of key program content. Digital workshops recreate the face-to-face Wisdom learning experience using a range of facilitation techniques and engagement tools. Digital platforms will also be used to engage participants at regular intervals throughout the program in informal and formal workshops. All digital workshops will be conducted using MS Teams.
Learning Support Sessions: Facilitator led sessions throughout the program which can be tailored to the needs of the participants. These sessions can be used to support assessment tasks, clarify information covered during the workshops, introduce topical issues that arise between workshops or engage in discussion with the participants on topics of their choice relating to the program. Break-out rooms will provide an opportunity for participants to engage with a facilitator one on one if required or for small groups who want assistance to engage with the facilitator.
myWisdom: The myWisdom online learning space provides participants with the opportunity to access resources, complete/upload assessment tasks, undertake learning activities, collaborate, and reflect throughout the duration of the program.
Networking & knowledge sharing: Participants in the program will enhance learning through sharing knowledge, experience and resources within and outside the workshops. Participants will be encouraged and supported to network outside of the classroom to augment learning and knowledge sharing and the development of sustainable networks and collaborative professional relationships.
Readings & other resources: Participants will be provided with resources that underpin learning and provide the depth and breadth of the program’s content. Readings and resources will reflect contemporary theories, models, best practice guidelines and leading practice.
Workplace tasks & activities: Participants will undertake a range of practical tasks and activities relevant to the NDIA and their own workplace. These tasks and activities will form many of the assessment requirements for the program.
Attendance
This program includes assessment and learning activities built into all workshops and your contributions during workshops will directly impact on your assessment. This is because direct observation will be one kind of evidence gathered in support of your competencies. For this reason, non-attendance or partial attendance, may require that additional assessment activities be completed in order that competency requirements are met.
Working with others and assisting them as a member of a group is one way of demonstrating some of the required skills and knowledge for this program. We urge you to take opportunities to demonstrate your competency; constructive communication and collaboration is part of what is being assessed in this program.
Most assessments in this program will be submitted individually. Where the assessment is to be completed in a group context, detailed instructions on the formation of the group, the number of participants in the group and the roles and responsibilities for group members will be recorded on the assessment task, where necessary, and/or according to the guidelines stipulated by the trainer/assessor.
Assessment of group work and participant collaboration will reflect an appropriate depth and breadth and be typically observed by an assessor and may be accompanied by a signed statement that all members of the group contributed to completion of the assessment.
Learning resources
Wisdom will provide a range of learning resources for use during and between of the workshops. Resources typically include, but are not limited to:
This program will involve a range of assessment methods and approaches in response to your individual and organisational learning requirements, involving core assessments as part of the relevant units of competency; additional tasks and exercises. During this program you will undertake assessment of some Units of Competency individually, and some will be clustered.
Your facilitator/s will provide you with detailed individual assessment tasks throughout the program. These tasks will contain detailed instructions and information on the assessment process and the range and conditions of the assessment.
While this process can evolve in response to your achievements, assessment requirements will be transparent, and participants will be guided through activities in a manner that upholds the normal principles of assessment and evidence rules.
Due dates will be determined in a transparent, supportive manner to ensure you are given the opportunity to complete the program work in the best possible and most constructive learning setting.
This program will be facilitated by or co-facilitated by a team of trainers, facilitators and assessors to ensure the right blend of skills is achieved when delivering the qualification.
Your primary facilitator for this program is Ingrid Tomanovits. From time to time, other Wisdom facilitators may deliver or co-deliver sessions, depending on the specific requirements of the content.
As your primary facilitator Ingrid’s role is to help you succeed. Please feel free to contact them at any time through the Wisdom office on 6257 8588.
