How we will deliver the course

First time participants will need to undertake training and complete knowledge assessments prior to attending the course face to face.

The face to face course will be delivered firstly in a classroom environment to cover the theory aspects and then move to an outdoor area for completion of the practical components.

The hours are generally 8:00am to 4:00pm, but students should refer to their specific course listing on the homepage of the Duff Consulting website for specific times and venues as this can sometimes differ to meet client needs.

 All resources required on the day will be supplied.

Due to the Covid 19 pandemic it has become necessary to minimise where practicable, face to face training.  To this end, we also deliver a one-day virtual training day, where participants can attend and interact with the trainer via the internet.

Participants are then required to complete and forward their knowledge assessments and provide photographs and videos to demonstrate their practical competency. This work is expected to take a further day to complete. 

Assessment Requirements

A variety of assessment methods are utilised to ensure you develop the required skills and knowledge and to keep the course a practical, hands-on-learning experience. These methods are:

  • Theory Questions
  • Practical Assessments delivered under workplace conditions

All assessments are carried out in English.

If you are unhappy about any assessment result, then seeking a re-assessment is usually the first strategy. If you are still unhappy about the assessment process or result, then the Complaints and Appeals Process may be invoked. For more information regarding the Appeals Process you should follow if you are unhappy with an assessment result go to Axiom Student Handbook

Recognition of Prior Learning

We offer recognition of existing skills and knowledge, please refer to the Student Handbook for more information.

Requirements for Completion

You must attend 100% of this ACDC Ag Vet Chemical User Accredited training course and satisfactorily complete all the assessment tasks. If you feel you may need support to complete the learning or assessment tasks either because of a literacy issue, a learning difficulty or a physical disability, please let us know and we may be able to make adjustments to our learning and assessment processes.
