Accredited Training Courses
Training Programmes
We are the leading institute for accreditation award training in Malta, with full licensed recognition from The Malta Further and Higher Education Authority with several modules in various sectors.
The training programmes are designed to encourage participation and interaction among the employees. Our training methods consist of presentations, role playing, rating exercises, case studies and audio visual presentations.
All training courses are conducted by qualified instructors. Participants are awarded with certificates for recognition of prior learning (RPL) or Full time award training (FTA).
Students with work experience have the opportunity to participate in RPL Award which consists of:
- Multiple choice examination (75 pass mark / Presence of LSA)
- Class training (8 hours)
- On the job training (12 hours / Assessment)
Policy for Recognition of Prior Learning
Recognition of prior learning (RPL) is an assessment process that involves assessment of an individual’srelevant prior learning (including formal, informal and non-formal learning) to determine the credit outcomes of an individual application for credit.
At ame health and safety services ltd students are given the chance to demonstrate their level of competence in a subject prior to determining which method of learning will be best suited for their needs. This facilitates the progression of students through qualifications by giving credit for learning outcomes they already have achieved. Credit outcomes may allow for entry into a qualification and/or provide credit towards the qualification. Credit given may reduce the time required for a student to achieve the qualification. RPL broadens access into formal learning by enabling credit to be given for student achievement through other formal, non-formal or informal learning.
Assessors and Tutors at ame will ensure that decisions about granting RPL take into account students’likelihood of successfully achieving qualification outcomes and ensure that integrity of qualification outcomes is maintained. To ensure consistency, fairness and transparency, AME has established a systematic, policy outlined below:
A student will first be asked to undertake an assessment on the chosen subject. This assessment will be split into sections according to the modules of the course and will be in the form of multiple choice questions designed to assess the student’s familiarity with the topic and knowledge already gained through experience or past training. A 75% for each module is required to attain a ‘pass’. Students who pass all the modules of the multiple choice assessment will then move on to the ‘on-the-job assessment’, upon passing this final assessment, the student will be eligible to attend the shortened RPL Training Course which is intended as a refresher instead of the Full Training Course. The length of the RPL course will be determined according to the subject chosen. Should a student fail to obtain minimum of 75% mark on any of the modules of the multiple choice assessment s/he will be required to attend the full training of that specific module/s. At the end of themodule specific training they will sit for the multiple choice exam again to be able to have a pass in all the modules, before being able to progress to the final ‘on-the-job assessment’
If the student fails the ‘on-the-job assessment’ the full training course has to be attended.
Throughout this progression, the students are kept aware and informed of this policy and the progress of the process. Students are provided with sufficient information to enable them to prepare themselves for the initial RPL assessment. The outcome of the initial assessment is recorded and communicated to the students, verbally, electronically or via our online platform, for which students have access upon signing up for their respective course.
As with all other assessments, these are designed and corrected by teaching staff with expertise in thesubject, content as well as knowledge and expertise in RPL assessment. The initial RPL assessment is of the same standard as other assessments for the qualification.
The initial RPL assessments may be adjusted according to the literacy levels, cultural background andexperiences of students, and they shall not be a proxy for the assessment of skills such as literacy exceptwhere these are intrinsic to the learning outcomes of the qualification component. They will address thespecific evidence required to demonstrate prior achievement of the learning outcomes and assessmentrequirements of the particular qualification components for which credit is sought.
It may be the case that certain assessments are done remotely via online platforms so as to satisfy socialdistancing measures during the time of the Covid-19 pandemic. Decisions on remote assessments are taken on a case by case basis.
Full Time Award consists of:
- Class training (25 hours / Examination)
- Practical training (25 hours / Assessment)
- Our Accreditations have NO EXPIRY DATES (Students will be advised to attend a refresher training in the event of changes in regulations, guidelines, standard practices)
- Several Awards are in line with EU Funding Schemes
