Learning Outcomes
Details of Learning Activities
This unit within the Certificate IV in Training and Assessment is clustered and co-delivered with TAEASS412 - Assess Competent and TAEASS413 - Participate in assessment validation. This cluster provides skills and knowledge to prepare for and facilitate the vocational training of both individual learners and groups of learners. You will be required to plan for both classroom based facilitation and workplace-based learning. This unit applies to entry-level vocational education and training (VET) teachers and trainers who use facilitation and technical skills to facilitate learning in the workplace and classroom based on products that are nationally recognised or aligned with other recognised frameworks.
Throughout the session times; there will be an opportunity to participate and collaborate as a group; You will participate in learning activities such as: analysis of case studies and scenarios, role plays, developing learning programs, developing lesson strategies group discussions and working in groups. Other activities will include: online research, and reading articles provided by your trainer.
At RMIT Work Integrated Learning (WIL) refers to opportunities for you to experience either real or simulated workplaces within your program. WIL activities in this program include:
• Simulations of training and assessment work environments
• Work based projects completed within your own workplace.
Many students who undertake this program are already employed in a training and assessment role. Some assessment activities are conducted in a workplace and you are encouraged to use your own workplaces for this. If you do not have a workplace please consult your trainer about alternative arrangements.
Teaching Schedule
This unit is co-delivered with TAEASS412 - Assess Competent and TAEASS413 - Participate in assessment validation. Please refer to your timetable for class times and room allocation. It is expected that you attend all classes to get the best learning experience, and be assessed as competent for the unit. Please notify your teacher of an expected absence. While all course content will be delivered, the order and mode of delivery may change depending on the availability of specialist facilities and equipment. Please check Canvas regularly as any updates will be communicated by your teacher.
