Placement length

Post by mellis77 » Mon Sep 23, 2013 3:25 pm

Hi guys..
I'm starting the cert 3 tomorrow. I know I'll probably find this out then but just curious of how placements fit in with your study?
Do you do for example 2 weeks full time placement mon-fri then go back to study, then a further 2 weeks at the end of the course?

I have a friend who did it at a different place and did one day a week of placement for 6 months.. Throughout the course. Just wondering what the norm is?

Thanks!

How did you go on the first day?

It depends on where you are doing your qualification. Some work placements have a block period where you do it for 3 to 4 weeks at a time at the end of a semester, while others you do it for a couple of weeks.

You probably found the answer by now...

Hope you enjoy studying,
