Course Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to design, develop and document plans for vocational training to be delivered by vocational education and training (VET) teachers and trainers. It involves identifying the objectives and intended outcomes of the training and the characteristics of the target learners, selecting nationally recognised training products, developing the plan for training and individual session plans.
The unit applies to individuals who design training for group learning in face-to-face, online and blended vocational training contexts using nationally recognised products.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Overview of Assessment
Performance Evidence
The individual must demonstrate the ability to complete the tasks outlined in the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit, including evidence of the ability to:
- design, develop and document plans for group learning that:
- cover at least 2 entire units of competency from a nationally recognised training package or accredited course
- detail at least 3 consecutive sessions for each different unit of competency
- are tailored to target learner group characteristics and identified learner needs, including foundation skills
- include a range of facilitation techniques and checks for learner understanding, including presentation methods, learning activities, and formative assessment activities.
In the course of the above, the individual must:
- document an overall plan for the group learning for each unit of competency
- document the following in the session plans:
- learning objectives or outcomes
- presentation methods
- learning activities
- formative assessment activities
- sequence and timing of activities within a session
- required resources
- total duration of sessions
- confirm that requirements of units of competency and their assessment requirements have been fully addressed in the overall plan.
Knowledge Evidence
The individual must be able to demonstrate knowledge to complete the tasks outlined in the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit, including knowledge of:
- legislative and vocational education and training (VET) regulatory requirements relating to designing and developing plans for vocational training, including:
- meeting the requirements of nationally recognised training products
- amount of training to provide to each learner and learner group
- tailoring the plans to target learner group
- organisational policies and procedures for designing, developing and finalising plans for vocational training, including for consulting with required stakeholders

- basic instructional design principles relating to designing and developing plans for vocational training
- purposes and key content of plans for vocational training, including logically sequenced learning content that:
- engages and progresses learners
- provides a safe and inclusive learning environment
- covers required skills and knowledge
- uses resources and that support and engage learners
- key components of training and assessment strategies and how to use them when designing and developing plans for vocational training
- facilitation techniques that support and engage learners and check for learner understanding, including presentation methods, learning activities, and formative assessment activities

- relationship between training and assessment, and implications for designing and developing plans for vocational training
- types of learner characteristics and implications for designing and developing plans for vocational training
- processes for interpreting nationally recognised units of competency to identify the standard of performance required, including for identifying:
- skill and knowledge requirements in the products, including requirements relating to foundation skills: language, literacy, numeracy, digital literacy and employability skills
- dimensions of competency and how they guide training practices and planning
- contents of Companion Volume Implementation Guides relating to designing and developing plans for vocational training

Feedback
Feedback will be provided throughout the semester in class and/or online discussions. You are encouraged to ask and answer questions during class time and online sessions so that you can obtain feedback on your understanding of the concepts and issues being discussed. Finally, you can email or arrange an appointment with your teacher to gain more feedback on your progress.
You should take note of all feedback received and use this information to improve your learning outcomes and final performance in the course.
Assessment Tasks
Assessment tasks
Students enrolled in Vocational Education and Training qualifications are assessed for Competency. To be assessed as competent means a student has consistently demonstrated the required knowledge and skills at a standard expected in the workplace.
To be assessed as Competent in this course, you will need to complete each assessment task to a satisfactory standard. You will receive feedback from the teacher at the conclusion of each assessment task.
You should refer to the assessment brief which is available through Canvas for full assessment criteria and due dates.
Due Dates are provided in both the Syllabus tab and the Assignments tab in Canvas.
Results
Results that apply to courses that are delivered and assessed in accordance with competency-based assessment are:
CA: Competency Achieved
NYC: Not Yet Competent
Assessment Tasks
see Canvas “Assignments” tab for full assessment task details and due dates. In-class components are also shown on the “Syllabus” tab
Assessment Matrix
The Assessment Matrix demonstrates alignment of assessment tasks with the relevant unit of competency. These mapping documents are available
through Program Administration if required.

Credit Transfer and Recognition of Prior Learning:
Credit transfer is the recognition of previously completed formal learning (an officially accredited qualification).
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is an assessment process that allows you to demonstrate competence using the skills you have gained through experience in the workplace, voluntary work, informal or formal training or other life experiences.
Please speak to your teacher if you wish to discuss applying for Credit Transfer or RPL for the unit(s) of competency addressed in this course.
