Helen identified that the AICD one week course will be held at Deakin University, Waurn Ponds 19th June to 23rd June 2023. Waurn Ponds is a convenient 15 minute drive from where Helen resides.
Helen sought approval from Abalone Council Victoria (ACV), the Eastern Zone Abalone Industry Association (EZAIA) and abalone Council Australia (ACA) to sponsor and support her undertaking this professional development.
ACV agreed to pay the full amount of the course upfront with ACA's half portion to be paid at a later stage. EZAIA paid an AICD membership fee of $840 which considerably reduced the course costs from $11,849 down to $8,449.00.
Upon registering and payment for the course, AICD provided an online portal to Elearning, course notes, case studies, video explanations and various other online learning tools. A comprehensive set of books and notes was posted to be used throughout the course. The course covers four and a half months from pre reading to completion of an assessment.
There will be three assessment tasks, an assignment, exam and a quiz which require 65% pass or greater for each task to achieve the Company Directors Course Award.
