Learning Outcomes



Details of Learning Activities

Students will study the principles and skills involved in training and assessment through a range of classroom based and out of classroom based activities. The use of ‘real world’ examples will assist students throughout the course to contextualise the course content.

Classroom learning will be active. Students will individually, in pairs, in small groups and with the whole group have the opportunity to :
• reflect on and discuss key concepts.
• apply concepts to current training situations.
• make presentations to the class
• participate in case studies and problem solving scenarios
• research using the internet

The training material and assessment tasks also aid in the development of skills and reflection and consolidation of the learning.

In the delivery of material in this program, the trainer models effective training methods and practices. Students are encouraged to critically examine teaching strategies and identify potential application for their teaching situation. This means that learning happens on two levels: through the actual content and the experience of the course delivery


Teaching Schedule

A course guide is provided to the participant before the course begins.
