sufficiently marked off.

When the Mentor is satisfied the student has met the practical prescriptive benchmarks to industry standards, they will record this in the Students' workbook for marking,

The Mentor and student will complete in remaining practical hours as shadowing hours and record all hours within the logbook.

Once the student is deemed competent with the All prescribed practical assessments, studnet will submit the workbook on their MyeCampus and confirmed by an AIPT’s Qualified Trainer and Assessor.
