Total duration for MEM30319 - Certificate III in Engineering - Fabrication Trade is 2256 hours over 114 weeks as follows:

• 94 weeks delivery and assessment
• 1316 hours scheduled mandatory face to face classes (14 hours per week during term time: theory,  assessment, practical – classroom and simulated Fabrication Trade environment)
• 564 hours online/self paced  learning (6 hours per week during term time)
• 376 hours approximately of indirect and supplementary workplace evidence (4 hours per week during term time additional to scheduled hours)
• 20 weeks break
• The students should be working in the metal fabrication industry to complete Workplace Evidence hours*. The student builds a portfolio of evidence showing the application of skills learned in the simulated workplace. This assists the student with further employability.

The volume of learning allocated to a qualification will vary depending on the level of the qualification and the experience and competency of the student. Students must complete the allocated hours for the qualification they are undertaking to achieve competency. If the student applies for RPL or Credit Transfer, the volume of learning may be reduced.
