Course Delivery
Each module is delivered online and candidate learning is supported by:
- Comprehensive learning materials including a Module Outline, a schedule of weekly reading and activities, and detailed ‘Units’ which provide content, learning activities and assistance in navigating through the prescribed reading for the module. The Units will make specific reference to the course textbook (where applicable) and the International Professional Practices Framework (IPPF) as well as providing links to a range of online resources to support candidate learning. Course materials are developed by experienced professionals and will form a valuable resource for ongoing reference in practice
- a web-based Learning Management System- Moodle- used to facilitate class discussion, publish announcements, provide supplementary resources and a range of tools to enhance candidate interaction with peers and tutors
Each candidate will be allocated to a class, led by a tutor to optimise learning, networking and peer support opportunities.

Orientation
Students will receive a confirmation of enrolment letter providing important information about the semester including expectations around study commitment and assessments as well as details about module resources and timetables.
Additionally, the week prior to semester commencing, login details will be provided for access to the Student Mangement System (Moodle), IIA Global website, additional learning resources and the Moodle App. There will also be a request for additional information required by the higher education regulator, the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA).
The first week of semester is dedicated to orientation. This provides an opportunity to:
- Become familiar with the Study Schedule
- Read the policies
- Complete a short quiz regarding policies
- Review the welcome video from the tutor and the education coordinator
- Export the calendar on Moodle to plan for Webinar dates/times and assignment due dates.
