Australia’s VET system is a competency-based system. This means training shall be based on Units of Competency that describe:
- Performance standards to perform work tasks
- Required knowledge to perform those work tasks
- Required skills to perform those work tasks.
Units of Competency all available from the training.gov.au website.
An RTO must deliver training that has been designed to help a person learn to perform work tasks to the standard that is expected in the workplace.
Learning about competency-based training delivery
The TAE40122 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment qualification has been designed for trainers and assessors to develop their capabilities to work within the VET system.
The three relevant units of competency covering the delivery of training are:
- TAEDEL311 Provide work skill instruction [Elective]
- TAEDEL411 Facilitate vocational training [Core]
- TAEDEL412 Facilitate workplace-based learning [Elective]
Note: The TAEDEL311 Provide work skill instruction unit of competency may be used to deliver training that can be competency-based or not competency-based.
Suggested topics to research
- Robert Gagné (nine events of instruction)
