AIPC’s Education Team performs an essential role in providing quality education services to students. Every education team member holds an academic qualification in psychology, behavioural science or another appropriate discipline, are experienced counsellors and are fully conversant in the courses we offer. Whether a student calls our Study Assistance Line, is attending a seminar or tutorial, or having an assignment marked, a qualified member of the Education Team will always be on hand to offer professional educational support.
The education function at the Institute is overseen by the National Training Manager, and is implemented by many education team members. Upon calling the Study Assistance Line, students are offered direct support from Education Advisors, who can answer student questions, clarify outlined concepts, and provide direction on how to complete various forms of assessment. Students can also undertake tutorials, with Tutors offering students the option of face-to-face study assistance in either an individual or group format.
Seminar and In-Class Presenters are another part of the Education Team, who also actively assist students to develop on both an academic and professional level. All seminars and workshops are run by experienced counsellors with a Cert IV in Assessment and Workplace Training, and students are therefore assured of an excellent level of presentation and knowledge at these sessions. The appointment of Private Assessors is another measure the Institute has implemented to allow students from regional areas to also have ample opportunity to complete the practical components of their course in a professional, face-to-face manner.
AIPC Project Officers are responsible for undertaking the challenging process of updating and improving the course curriculum. They have specialised skills in developing educational resources and materials, and in ensuring all students have access to the latest counselling information and techniques. AIPC also ensures that all Assessment Markers undertake comprehensive training in course unit assessment to allow students the confidence of knowing that validity, reliability and consistency will always be provided in marking of their assessments.
