ITAC's Innovative Integrated Course Design: Revolutionising Education Support Training
At ITAC, we've reimagined the traditional approach to vocational education. Our innovative integrated course design is tailored to meet the needs of busy adult learners while maintaining the highest standards of educational quality. This approach not only saves you time and money but also provides a more engaging and effective learning experience.
The Problem with Traditional Course Structures
Many vocational education providers structure their courses as a series of individual units, each typically taking 4-6 weeks to complete. For example:
- Certificate III in Education Support: 15 units x 4-6 weeks = 60-90 weeks
- Certificate IV in Education Support: 17 units x 4-6 weeks = 68-102 weeks
- Combined Certificates III and IV: 32 units x 4-6 weeks = 128-192 weeks
This unit-by-unit approach often leads to repetition, redundancy, and a fragmented learning experience. It can also result in extended study periods, increased costs, and a higher risk of student burnout.
ITAC's Solution: Holistic, Integrated Learning
We've revolutionised this model by adopting a holistic, integrated approach to course design. Here's how it works:
- Streamlined Modules:
- Certificate III: Condensed from 15 units to 3 comprehensive modules
- Certificate IV: Condensed from 17 units to 4 comprehensive modules
- Education Support Combo (Certificates III and IV): Condensed from 32 units to 4 integrated modules
- Elimination of Redundancy: We've carefully analysed the content across all units, identifying overlapping concepts and skills. This allows us to teach related topics together, reinforcing learning while eliminating unnecessary repetition.
- Practical, Work-Based Learning: Our modules are structured around real-world scenarios and tasks you'll encounter in education support roles. This approach not only makes the learning more relevant but also helps you develop practical skills more quickly.
- Continuous Skill Development: Instead of compartmentalising skills into separate units, our integrated approach allows for continuous skill development throughout the course. You'll revisit and build upon key concepts in different contexts, leading to deeper understanding and retention.
The ITAC Advantage: Tangible Benefits for Students

- Industry Validation: Our course design is regularly validated by industry experts to ensure it meets current workplace needs and standards.
