Provide training through instruction and demonstration of work skills

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


Demonstration of work skills is typically provided by experienced workers or supervisors in the workplace. The focus of this instruction is usually on specific learner and organisation requirements, including workplace induction, learning how to operate new equipment and processes, developing new skills at work, improving efficiency and effectiveness, and meeting safety procedures. A range of delivery techniques should be used to enhance the experience for the learner.

This unit covers the skills required to provide instruction and demonstration of work skills using existing learning resources, in a safe and comfortable learning environment, and to determine the success of both the training provided and personal training performance.

The unit addresses the skills and knowledge required to organise and conduct the instruction and demonstration through a planned approach. It emphasises the training as being driven by the work process and context.

The training may be delivered to achieve competency standards/ units of competency prescribed by a Training Package, or may be delivered to meet organisational requirements.

Skills and knowledge relating to assessment are not covered in this unit. This is addressed in relevant units from the Assessment field of the TAA04 Training and Assessment Training Package.

This unit is not equivalent to TAADEL401B Plan and organise group based delivery and/or TAADEL402B Facilitate group based learning and cannot be assessed in place of either of these units.

This unit has been developed to support a wide range of applications across any workplace setting and therefore can be used by any organisation.

This unit specifies the competency required to conduct individual and group instruction and demonstration of work skills.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Prerequisites

Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency

Evidence of the following is essential:

a minimum of three training sessions involving demonstrating and instructing of particular work skills for different groups. Each session must address different learning objectives, a range of techniques and effective communication skills appropriate to the audience

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

access to an actual workplace whenever possible. Where no workplace is available, a simulated workplace must be provided

assessment must be conducted at different points in time and, in a learning and assessment pathway, these must be separated by further learning and practice

Resources required include:

the necessary materials for instruction/demonstration

access to required technology for instruction/ demonstration

developed learning activities

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate

analysis of responses to case studies and scenarios

analysis of responses for identifying processes for checking learning achievement

learner evaluations

analysis of responses for selecting learning techniques

peer evaluations

analysis of responses to the provision of practice opportunities for learners

questioning (oral or written)

analysis of responses to reasons for selecting learning resources and their organisation

review of testimony from team members, colleagues, supervisors or managers

tests of knowledge on sources of workplace diversity

video/observation of a demonstration/instruction

This unit can be assessed alone or as part of an holisitc assessment activity involving relevant units in the TAA04 Training and Assessment Training Package or any other Training Package. Suggested units include but are not limited to:

TAADEL403B Facilitate individual learning.
