- The program will be delivered in intensive mode over a period of 2 years and will not be delivered during the school holidays.
- Provision is made for flexible entry through the delivery of the two prerequisite courses (Defence Culture and Systems Mathematics) mid-year.
- Each course will be presented over a 5 week period. Each week will consist of 1 day devoted to lectures, tutorials and practical work while 4 days will be spent in the work place.
- A workplace oriented assignment will form part of each course as outlined in the course statements.
