  • understand the process of project development, completion and reporting, and effectively manage time allocated to activities.

The subject covers the areas of:

  • practical application of the field skills acquired during Forestry Work Skills I and other advanced diploma subjects;

  • advanced project design management, coordination and reporting; and

  • supervision skills, team work and group dynamics.
Assessment: Students are required to complete a report (of 2000-2500 words) on the activities undertaken. Those students not employed in the forestry or a related industry must complete 80 days of industry experience.
