Courses & Training
Each program is offered under fully flexible delivery with two
hours per week work release. Students are supplied with all text
books, work books, work book of activities and on-site practical
assessments.
On-site flexible delivery allows students to progress according
to their own capabilities and where applicable accelerate their
course to complete early. BITA programs are ideally suited to passionate
and motivated students with employers who are keen to support and
pass on their skills and expertise to the next generation of tradespeople.
All BITA trainers have extensive trade experience.
On-site delivery benefits:
-
The employer is directly involved in training and mentoring
the apprentice;
-
the apprentice can apply their training directly to the real
bakery environment;
-
allows training to take place throughout the year rather than
having to wait until the next block course;
-
training can be customised to suit apprentices’ capabilities;
-
clustering of related units enables accelerated progression
and assists in linking learning processes;
-
saves both the employer and apprentice money; and
-
no travel/accommodation costs to apprentices.
Example of Program Delivery
John is a first year baker apprentice currently undertaking the
baking units.
For the baking units John receives a text book, work book and work
book of activities containing theory and practical information.
John completes his work book of activities and learning during his
regular release from productive work with the mentoring of his supervising
tradesperson. If John has any difficulties with any part of the
course he can easily contact his dedicated trainer.
Whenever John completes the work book and assessments his trainer
will provide feed back. John will also undergo practical assessment
on baking bread. When John passes both the theory and practical
assessment he can be deemed competent for those units.
John can then immediately commence the next unit without delay.
Throughout John’s program, feedback and progression reports
are provided to him, his employer and supervising tradesperson.
All training is delivered under the Australian Quality
Training Framework (AQTF) which provides for nationally recognised
programs.
