Application

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to plan, prepare for and facilitate the vocational training of both individual learners and groups of learners via a face-to-face, in-person delivery mode. It includes customising and using existing session plans and learning resources, using these plans to facilitate training, and reviewing own practice.
The unit applies to entry-level vocational education and training (VET) teachers and trainers who use training and technical skills to deliver training based on a product that is nationally recognised or aligned with other recognised frameworks.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Assessment Conditions

Skills in this unit must be demonstrated in a real or simulated face-to-face vocational education and training environment. Evidence gathered for assessment may include that collected in real time or via a submitted recording that demonstrates both delivery and learner engagement.
This includes access to:
• learners requiring face-to-face, in-person vocational training
• organisational procedures for facilitating individual and group-based vocational training
• training and assessment strategies for the required training
• session plans and learning resources that address the requirements of a training product that is nationally recognised or aligned with other recognised frameworks.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
