Training Pathways and Methodolgy

Conquest Communications has learner resouces for the Cert 2 and Cert 3 competencies built into one comprehensive online training course in Digital Recption Technology. To gather the required competencies to achieve your Certificate 3 is a combination of CCC Training, Vendor/Product Training and RPL. Field experience is essential and for new entrants a workbook recording your field experience is required to record your experiences.

If you completed a Manufacturers course or Vendor course the RPL through mapping is required. Mapping is a process of comparing any non accredited training to the national competencies. The comparison will highlight if the competency has been met or if their are any gaps. Gaps may be filled by further training or field experience.
