Application

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to evaluate vocational training based on products that are nationally recognised or aligned with other recognised frameworks by measuring its effectiveness in meeting industry needs and capability requirements.
It applies to those responsible for evaluating training. In a vocational education and training (VET) context the evaluation can contribute to the continuous improvement cycle within a registered training organisation (RTO).
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

In the course of the above, the candidate must:
• evaluate at least 3 sequential training sessions to be delivered in above course
• conduct the evaluation against industry performance needs and capability requirements
• collect and analyse qualitative and quantitative data
• produce an evaluation report that addresses all phases of the evaluation process, including recommendations on areas for improvement.

Knowledge Evidence

• key components and requirements of nationally recognised training products, what comprises quality training and assessment services, and the dimensions of competency
• terminology and key components of quality evaluation processes
• at least 3 different evaluation models or methods, including the Kirkpatrick Model
• evaluation methodology suited to training described in performance evidence
• when qualitative and quantitative measures are most useful
• security of information and confidentiality requirements in relation to evaluation.

Assessment Conditions

Skills in this unit must be demonstrated in a real or simulated vocational education and training environment. Evidence gathered for assessment may include that collected in real time or via a submitted recording.
This includes access to:
• full details of the training to be evaluated, and industry needs and capability requirements
• organisational procedures for training evaluation.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
