Placement Record • You have to register with the department once you have secured a placement. • If we do not have a record of your placement, you will fail the Industrial Training course. • We have to screen the job nature of all placement positions to make sure that the posts satisfy the Industrial Training requirements.

  14. Placement Record Log-on to the Placement database and enter your Placement Record      This is optional, will be kept confidential. The average salary is useful for me to advise companies about the norm.    • Name and contact details of your supervisor (you may send these later after you have started work.) 

Placement Record • Status of your placement record is either NA / Waiting / Incomplete / Approved • NA – You haven't entered your placement record yet • Waiting – You have entered your placement record, but it hasn't been screened by us yet • Incomplete – We have screened your placement record and find that you did not input sufficient details on the nature of work (Job Description) • Approved - this post is approved by us • Remark • My comment on your placement record; in particular, indicate what is/are missing.

Assessment • Write a training report of ~1000 words • Outline the work you performed • Provide a description and evaluation of the IT and /or software practices used by the organization • Your supervisor will report to us on your professionalism and on the quality of your work • Invite your supervisor to fill in a feedback form • Available on the "Info for Employers" page • Explicitly opened for external partners to view and download • Course Web site -> Info for Employers -> Feedback form • Assessment is based on these two reports
