Professional, Legal and Ethical Healthcare Practices(Community Care)(AOP)
The Assessment-only Pathway (AOP) is designed to certify the competencies of experienced healthcare workers. Healthcare staff with the relevant knowledge and skills can complete the assessment for a WSQ course through the AOP without going through the full Community Care Associate(CCA) training.
1. Self-Assessment Checklist
Candidates must complete the Self-Assessment Checklist with a minimum score of 60%.

Important:
Candidates who do not achieve at least 60% on the Self-Assessment Checklist are not eligible to sign up for the AOP.

Employment Requirement
Employed in a related job for at least 1 year.

Note: By signing the declaration, candidates acknowledge that in the event a participant requires reassessment, the organisation will need to cover the full AOP fee, as AIC funding does not apply in such cases.
