Issue Date: April 2024


This unit typically applies to a person working as an entry level trainer, teacher or facilitator, team leader or workplace supervisor, or any employee responsible for guiding learning through work.

This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to plan, organise and facilitate learning for individuals in a workplace.

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

Employability Skills

This unit contains employability skills.




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.

Overview of assessment

Assessment must address the scope of this unit and reflect all components of the unit. Arange of appropriate assessment methods and evidence-gathering techniques must be used to determine competency. A judgement of competency should only be made when the assessor is confident that the required outcomes of the unit have been achieved and that consistent performance has been demonstrated.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the ability to:

prepare and facilitate work-based learning

provide evidence of a minimum of two examples of developing work-based learning pathways, that include:

identifying needs for learning

analysing work practices, work environment and work activities

organising and allocating work in a way that reflects learning needs and provides effective learning opportunities through work processes

provide a minimum of two examples of a learning facilitation relationship being conducted:

with different individuals

demonstrating communication skills and flexibility

demonstrating one or more of the processes or techniques identified.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Evidence must be gathered in the workplace wherever possible. Where no workplace is available, a simulated workplace must be provided.

Assessment must ensure access to information about work activities.

Method of assessment

Guidance information for assessment

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required skills

Required knowledge

systems, processes and practices within the organisation where work-based learning is taking place

operational demands of the work and impact of changes on work roles

organisational work culture, including industrial relations environment

systems for identifying skill needs

introductory knowledge of different learning styles and how to encourage learning in each, for example:

visual learners

audio learners

kinaesthetic learners

theoretical learners

relevant policy, legislation, codes of practice and national standards that may affect training and assessment in the vocational education and training sector

OHS relating to the work role, including:

hazards relating to the industry and specific workplace

reporting requirements for hazards and incidents

specific procedures for work tasks

safe use and maintenance of relevant equipment

emergency procedures

sources of OHS information

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

OHS implications may include:

OHS obligations

workplace OHS policies and procedures

ensuring work practices, routines and proposed changes do not pose a risk to learners and others.

Contractual requirements may include:

training plans under apprenticeships/traineeships

requirements of government-funded training programs, such as Workplace English Language and Literacy (WELL).

Work-based learning pathway may include:

identifying specific goals for work-based learning

identifying job tasks or activities to be included in learning process

appropriate sequencing of job tasks/activities to reflect learner incremental development

direct guidance and modelling from experienced co-workers and experts

opportunities for practice.

Individualised learning plan may include:

information about individual's learning style, learner characteristics, and the context for learning

clear boundaries and expectations of the learning/facilitation relationship

documented equity or additional support needs for the learner

performance benchmarks to be achieved

activities and processes which together will achieve the benchmarks.

Ethical behaviour includes:

trust

integrity

privacy and confidentiality of the session

following organisational policies

knowing own limitations

having a range of other intervention referrals ready when needed

honesty

fairness to others.

Impact may be:

successful achievement, rate of achievement, or lack of achievement of identified goals

achievement of other outcomes as a result of the relationship

development of new goals

new or increased motivation to learn

greater capacity to learn

increase in learner's self-confidence.

Self-evaluation and reflection may include:

asking critical questions about:

own ability

what worked or didn't work

how the relationship building process could be improved

reviewing records and journals on sessions and critically evaluating own performance

reviewing feedback from learner and identifying critical aspects and areas for improvement.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
