This is typically structured on a full-time basis (30 hours plus) but working arrangements may vary on an individual basis. Students are required to have completed SBL4510 Professional Practice Foundation in order to complete this unit. This unit forms part of the Professional Practice program available to students wishing to proceed to a Bachelor of Commerce Professional. It is a prerequisite for SBL4530. The unit aims to develop a range of non-technical skills and attributes, as well as enhance student understanding of professional conduct, the realities of the working environment and the different career options available to them in their chosen field. It will help develop the skills required to interact effectively with other professionals and to contribute to the workplace. As this unit focuses on the personal and professional development of the individual, no RPL will be considered for this unit.
The unit comprises a minimum of 20 weeks of supervised work experience in a professional setting.
Students must have passed SBL4510
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
Work done in an actual workplace in which the student applies discipline-specific knowledge and skills, supervised by an industry professional separate from an ECU campus or location.
Student learning will be directed by the Unit Coordinator/Lecturer and there will be ongoing liaison between the Unit Coordinator/Lecturer and student to ensure effective performance during the professional practice period. Students will need to maintain regular email contact and attend meetings with the Unit Coordinator/Lecturer as required.

For the purposes of considering a request for Reasonable Adjustments under the Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005), inherent requirements for this subject are articulated in the Unit Description, Learning Outcomes and Assessment Requirements of this entry. The University is dedicated to provide support to those with special requirements. Further details on the support for students with disabilities or medical conditions can be found at the Access and Inclusion website.
Integrity is a core value at Edith Cowan University, and it is expected that ECU students complete their assessment tasks honestly and with acknowledgement of other people's work. This means that assessment tasks must be completed individually (unless it is an authorised group assessment task) and any sources used must be referenced.
Breaches of academic integrity can include:
Copying the words, ideas or creative works of other people, without referencing in accordance with stated University requirements. Students need to seek approval from the Unit Coordinator within the first week of study if they intend to use some of their previous work in an assessment task (self-plagiarism).
Working with other students and submitting the same or substantially similar work or portions of work when an individual submission was required. This includes students knowingly providing others with copies of their own work to use in the same or similar assessment task(s).
Organising a friend, a family member, another student or an external person or organisation (e.g. through an online website) to complete or substantially edit or refine part or all of an assessment task(s) on their behalf.
Using or having access to unauthorised materials in an exam or test.
Serious outcomes may be imposed if a student is found to have committed one of these breaches, up to and including expulsion from the University for repeated or serious acts.
ECU's policies and more information about academic integrity can be found on the student academic integrity website.
All commencing ECU students are required to complete the Academic Integrity Module.
In some circumstances, Students may apply to their Unit Coordinator to extend the due date of their Assessment Task(s) in accordance with ECU's Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000001386.
Students may apply for Special Consideration in respect of a final unit grade, where their achievement was affected by Exceptional Circumstances as set out in the Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000003318.
