MAT’s assessment approach is competency-based, which means you need not worry about a or fail outcome. During the course, our trainers use various methods to evaluate your abilities, such as:

  • Q&As –  Short answer questions
  • Scenarios –  for you to read and respond to
  • Product-based assessment – e.g. a letter or mock-up risk assessment.
  • Simulated tasks – e.g. recording audio of a simulated workplace interaction.
  • Role play activities – (video evidence required)

MAT recognises the significance of practical experience. In addition to the theoretical aspects of the course, we incorporate role-playing exercises into certain learning areas. These activities benefit your studies by offering an engaging and interactive means to collaborate with other participants, including your family, friends, or colleagues while simulating real-life scenarios.

Every student has up to three attempts for each assessment. Our fully certified trainers will provide comprehensive feedback to refine your understanding and improve your skills where needed. 

All students are allocated 6 weeks (full-time) or 12 weeks (part-time) for completion. However, as this is self-paced study, you can complete your course in much less time.

As a general guide, we recommend a commitment of 6-8 hours per week for part-time study and 10-20 hours per week for full-time study.
