5 SHB40115 Certificate IV in Beauty Therapy What is work placement? Work placement is a structured learning program undertaken in a workplace. It involves doing set tasks and activities over time under the guidance of a workplace supervisor and Open Colleges workplace assessor. To be assessed in the workplace you will complete a logbook of workplace tasks, complete a workplace portfolio and undergo interviews with your workplace assessor. A work placement can be a highly stimulating and rewarding part of the course. It will enable you to participate in a real workplace and put into practise the new skills and knowledge that you are learning in the course. The work placement also provides Open Colleges with an opportunity to assess the skills and knowledge you have developed through the course in the workplace. This is called workplace assessment. Open Colleges provides you with a detailed Workplace Assessment Guide. This details the specific requirements of the workplace and workplace supervisor to meet the needs of the course. You are required to identify a suitable organisation for your work placement. However, Open Colleges can provide advice and direction through our work placement support team.
