Pre-course work pack
A pre-course work pack has been developed for this course and will be emailed to learners prior to the workshop. The work pack provides some information and examples of work-based learning pathways. Learners are asked to prepare for the workshop by thinking about options for work-based learning pathways they could design and implement. Opportunities will be provided during the workshop for learners to design at least one of their pathways.
Overview of assessment
The Assessment Tasks for this course are briefly outlined below. Learners will be given the opportunity to commence some of these tasks during the training workshop. All tasks will need to be completed satisfactorily following the workshop before a statement of attainment can be issued for the units which make up the course.
- Assessment Task 1 - Theory questions relating to Individual and work-based learning and Ensure a healthy and safe learning environment .
- Assessment Task 2 - Evidence of the design, implementation and review of a work-based learning pathway, including the facilitation of individual learning (via coaching or mentoring). The learning pathway must include real work activities which the learner performs on-the-job as a key component of their learning.
- Assessment Task 3 - Evidence of the design, implementation and review of another work-based learning pathway, including the facilitation of individual learning (via coaching or mentoring). This pathway needs to be implemented with a different learner to the one used for Assessment Task 2.
- Assessment Task 4 - Application of the principles and processes of risk management in two different training contexts (one on the course and one following the course). Evidence must include copies of risk management documentation and answers to questions relating to the processes followed.
