Evidence Required

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 evidencegathering 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 workbased learning

provide evidence of a minimum of two examples of developing workbased 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

For further information about assessment of this and other TAE units refer to relevant implementation guidance published on the IBSA website wwwibsaorgau


Range Statement

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.
