 A training package qualification,- it is occupational skills standards against which competency
assessment and delivery of training can take place. This is designed and developed via
national consultation process for the betterment of learners.
 a skill set- while on the other hand, skill set is basically experienced, capabilities, abilities and
knowledge which is essential to perform a particular job role or any task. On the formatting
side, a skill set is considered by people on the basis of their current or previous experience
and also on job duties.
 an accredited course- Basically it is a systematic process by which higher authority in
educational sectors go through a process in order to validate that they are meeting needs of
educational activities. It is nationally recognised and it is approved by a professional body.
 Qualification, skills set and an accredited course are being developed to research a specific
subject which offers students to work in a particular field. They make up skills, experience,
creativity level, knowledge and personal qualities.
 From the above discussion it has been evaluated that training package are majorly for group of
members and family members which is created under a framework of government. While on

certificate courses and level 1,2,3,4 certificates. As per the Australian government, there are 4000
RTOs which is registered by ASQA to provide proper training and enhancing skills of students.
5. Describe how you do or could identify training needs in your workplace
It has been said that it is essential to know about training needs as it will provide detailed information
about the skills and knowledge that individual or group of people need to become more efficient and
innovative in their particular jobs. By using effective methods such as self evaluation, assessment,
regular feedback I can identify knowledge and experience that people need to become more
productive. In order to identify the training and development needs in my workplace I will first make
sure to set clear expectations for each and every role. By doing so, I will be able to create a benchmark
which help me to monitor and measure performance. This will make things easier to understand what
skills a learners needs to improve and what are their areas of improvement which needs to be
developed immediately. By doing so, it will help me to identify skills gaps which can help learners to
meet their training needs.
After that I will monitor the individual performance on the basis of the efforts and contribution made by
learners. I will ask them to review their performance by their own which is called self evaluation. I think
it can be a valuable tool in identifying growth and professional development opportunities which benefit
students to achieve goals. Plus, if I am facing any kind of issues I will ask higher authority or experts
and gain knowledge from them. Instead of traditional method, I will focus on evaluation method as this
will encourage learners, and they can provide honest and open feedback. By doing so, I am going to
enhance the environment at workplace positively as this will create good relationship between people
and motivate them to focus on career development. With the support of experts I will identify specific
training requirements and use one-to-one and performance reviews on regular basis for promoting
open communication system at workplace.
Also, I will use individual assessment that will provide me information about level of performance of
each learner. By this analysis, I will be able to identify the existing skills of people and their level of
interest in particular task and know about their learning capacity. From this, I can get clear idea about
who needs training, how much efforts should I make on particular learner and what kind of training is
needed most.

6. Delivery modes
Part 1
a. Name and briefly describe one (1) delivery mode that may be used in learning programs relevant to your
industry
Model answer: Face-to-face, group training in a classroom (don’t simply say ‘face to face’)

Student Assessment
As we all know that in today's era we have unlimited options available for learning programs. With the
help of effective learning opportunities one can easily access to various types of training methods or
techniques. In the world of technology where everything is rising so fast and more online training
programs are readily available for the betterment of learners, people are also focusing on some
traditional methods too. Many trainers are still confused whether they should take their training
sessions online, or they should stick with traditional delivery mode related to learning programs.
Group training in classroom- it is one of the most effective way of providing training to students or any
learners because it promotes open communication system and true feedback. The reason behind
using this method that is traditional delivery mode has it own strong foundations embedded into the
process of training and learning process which can never be completely replaced by any kind of
modern technology based learning system and modern delivery mode.
With the help of classroom activities related to education and training, instructor can build personal
relationships with each other or the students who are attending group discussion.
☐ Satisfactory ☐ Unsatisfactory
b. Explain one (1) reason why this delivery mode is a suitable choice for learning programs relevant to your
industry
Classroom/ group training - In this type of learning program students can enhance each others
strengths and weaknesses and exchange knowledge and skills. In classroom activities and sessions
people are in a healthy and controlled environment and instructor make full efforts to takes up the
biggest responsibilities of making their students engaged and involved in learning activities. In fact tutor
in the classroom use different types of strategies such as quiz, group assessment, group presentation
and more interactive activities to gain the candidates' retention which provides better results. With the
help of group training the tutor can easily supervise the performance of learners, here single mistakes
are corrected at the base level which helps students to develop their problem solving skills as well. This
delivery mode is suitable for industry as it promotes collaborative learning in the industries and builds
organisational skills which helps the people to work effectively and learn new things by enhancing
thinking.
☐ Satisfactory ☐ Unsatisfactory
c. Identify one (1) challenge of using this delivery mode and describe one way to mitigate this challenge
when designing learning programs for your industry.
Challenge-
Presence of conflict between people- when working and learning with others in a classroom, it is
natural that disagreement will arise due to different thinking, cultural differences, difference in opinions
and point of view. It has been said that some learners find it very difficult to accept negative feedback
from their peers and some of them not able to accept the ideas delivered by others. Due to this, it can
affect the learning environment at workplace negatively and the students won't be able to enjoy their
classroom activities and increase stress levels among them.
Mitigation- in order to mitigate, instructors needs to create a positive environment in which learners can
exchange their opinion about other performance which is also known as peers feedback. Plus, they
need to follow open communication method and active listening method to resolve conflicts. By using

Student Assessment
these techniques, instructor will be able to enhance the team work and group learning.
☐ Satisfactory ☐ Unsatisfactory
Part 2
a. Name and briefly describe another (1) delivery mode that may be used in learning programs relevant to
your industry (different to your answer in Part 1).
Model answer: Face-to-face, group training in a classroom (don’t simply say ‘face to face’)
Face to face learning programs is really effective in nature because it is designed to have quality of
conversation which allow learners and instructor understand each other interpretation. It is still the best
among all the training sessions because it can provide the direct information about outcome or any
challenges related to students learning. Many organisations are investing in face to face training in
order to deliver the best training and development outcome which is beneficial for people. Whenever
teachers or instructors train their students they may find that by using face to face training they are
getting quicker results and enhancing focus at individual students which is something not able to
achieve in online learning sessions. It is also useful for industry as it can enhance and boost learning
skills of learners. This can be done via online distance learning method in order to support learning
process. An instructor should always remember while using face to face training and online training
mode is that they should invest more in students learning by providing them individual attention in the
classroom then only they can understand whether students are understanding things or not
☐ Satisfactory ☐ Unsatisfactory
b. Explain one (1) reason why this (Part 2) delivery mode is a suitable choice for learning programs relevant
to your industry
According to many educational organisations, this is the most suitable choice for learning programs as
it encourages personal interaction with each other. The quality and depth conversation is seen in this
training because here conversation are clear and richer which allow participants to easily understand
topics. Face to face delivery mode enhance training environment as it provide instant feedback which
is beneficial for learning experience.
☐ Satisfactory ☐ Unsatisfactory
c. Identify one (1) challenge of using this (Part 2) delivery mode and describe one way to mitigate this
challenge when designing learning programs for your industry.
As we all know that with the help of face to face method of training, group dynamics are improved and
developed which is helpful in team building opportunity. But in the classroom the teachers only has
time limitation such as half an hour per lecture to get through subjects topics. If students are not able to
attend the lecture they might have to book an extra class to catch up those particular topics. Also, just
because of time constraints in classroom, the lecturer won't be able to answer each and every doubt of
students which leads to create confusion.
Mitigation- to mitigate this issue, it is essential for lecturer to focus on time management so that they
can deliver important topics on time. They need to conduct informative and interactive training sessions
which can manage the positive learning atmosphere. It is also necessary for tutor to facilitate
discussions so that it can enhance the experience of learning to meet needs of learners.
☐ Satisfactory ☐ Unsatisfactory
7. learning and assessment materials

Student Assessment
Research available learning and assessment materials relevant to your industry or area of expertise. Identify
the two strongest sources of materials that you find (‘sources’ may be within or outside your organisation). For
each of the two strongest sources identified:
a. Name the source
b. Describe the types of learning and assessment materials available from this source.
First source:
a. Learning material include workbook
b. As we all know that workbooks are the most effective way of grasping knowledge. It is used in
learning session as a material for determining the acquired knowledge. Basically, it is a material of
learning and assessment which students used while studying in the classroom. They use workbooks
when they study longer and find practical problems with blank space where they can solve the answer
and fill it. By using workbooks while studying students will be able to enhance their knowledge level
and increase the acquisitions stated in teaching programs.
Second source:
a. Operational resources include computers
b. Computers are one of the most useful source that is used in learning and training assessment.
Students and teachers use computers to keep record on their performance, making presentation,
access data on performance in online program and assessment and also keep record on task provided
by teachers and completed by students. Hence, it is said that computers as an instructional technology
provides better capabilities for collection feedback and information in the classroom.
☐ Satisfactory ☐ Unsatisfactory
8. Copyright
a. Research and summarise the implications of copyright legislation when selecting or developing learning
program materials.
It is noted that understanding copyright helps learners see the value in their creative works and also in
others work. While developing learning program materials it is essential to ensure people are using
them in a most legal way. As ASQA says that in order to deliver high quality vocational skills and
training, RTOs needs to use detailed information quickly from a variety of sources such as websites,
online blogs, books and journals. They need to make sure to not copy a copyright material or any topic
without permission.

for learners. It is essential for contextualisation to follow principles of assessment while training
package designing such as it should be reliable, fair, true, valid and also flexible in nature.
It is also mandatory to ensure follow the rules of evidence which needs to be sufficient and authentic in
nature.
☐ Satisfactory ☐ Unsatisfactory
e. Explain what it means to apply a reasonable adjustment when using training package competency
standards as the basis for assessment.
It is necessary to apply a reasonable adjustment when using training package competency standards
so that it can be ensured maximum participation of students who need more support while learning and
doing assessment activities. If the learner is not able to take participation they can get offer of
reasonable substitute activity in their overall course. With the help of reasonable adjustments people
meet needs and requirements by understanding their own abilities.
☐ Satisfactory ☐ Unsatisfactory

form prior to commencing each individual unit or cluster assessment task.
The details of each of the assessment requirements for the unit or cluster are outlined
within this document. Once you have read through the requirements and prior to
commencing assessment tasks, you must complete the following agreement.
A copy will be placed in your student file with all other assessment documentation.
Reasonable
Adjustment
Reasonable adjustment is the process of adjusting or changing the assessment
process to meet the needs and characteristics of the student being assessed and any
equity requirements to enable participation on the same basis as other students. The
determination of ‘reasonableness’ requires a judgement that must consider the need
to maintain the integrity of the unit of competency.
Reasonable adjustment can involve:
 Adapting physical facilities, environment and/or equipment eg: setting up
equipment at a lower height for easier access.
 Making changes to the assessment arrangements eg: more time allowed for
assessments.
 Making changes to the evidence gathering techniques (eg: verbal rather than
written questioning, use of a scribe, modifications to equipment)
You may request reasonable adjustment for assessment tasks. Note these
adjustments are made at the discretion of your assessor based on your identified
needs. However, the evidence collected must allow you to demonstrate all
requirements of the unit.
Re-submission
or Re-sit
(where tasks are
not satisfactorily
completed)
Students may be given the opportunity to re-submit or re-sit an assessment tasks that
a teacher has assessed as unsatisfactory (US). The teacher will discuss this with the
