Subject/Modules and Work Experience Available

Standard ACS Modules

Almost any short course of 100 hrs duration, offered by ACS, can be included in any of the above qualifications. Exceptions are courses designated specifically as “hobby courses”, or as not being relevant to a commercial situation. These include:

  • Landscaping Home Gardens
  • Home Garden Expert Course
  • Home Vegetable Growing
  • Home Fruit Growing
  • Herbs (basic Course)
  • Efficient Writing
  • Hobby Photography

Industry Meetings

To meet this requirement, the student must attend meetings such as conferences, seminars, trade shows, exhibitions, study tours, committee meetings, or any other industry events which might be considered as contributing toward their awareness and education of industry. Proof must be shown of attendance. This may be in the form of references or letters from the organisers of the event, by supplying a written report and photographs, or by any other reasonable method.

Work Experience

This must be shown to be both relevant to the qualification, and a valuable learning experience. Work that is menial or unchallenging may not be approved. A reference from an employer, client or colleague must be supplied, describing both the nature and duration of the work.

Research Projects

Research Projects I, II and III are generic 100 hour modules. Each module involves some formal studies to learn about research methods and techniques, followed by conducting some real research into a subject relevant to the discipline being studied.
