EDUCATION AND TRAINING

Unit 1: Understanding roles, responsibilities, and relationships in education and training
Unit 1: PC 1.1
Within the context of training, explain your role and at least two of your responsibilities.
In the context of training roles and responsibilities would be as follows:
(a) It is necessary to have proper knowledge about the contents, which are necessary for the
upcoming HR supervisors and learners. Along with this, it is necessary to have all possible
resources for providing proper knowledge to the HR supervisors and learners. That means it is
necessary to have all those factors before providing training and education.
(b) On the other hand, it is necessary to observe the training programs so that all learners and HR
supervisors should have proper training and education. In this process, they would be able to
have proper education. Moreover, it is necessary to clear all doubts of the learners for their
better understanding.
Unit 1: PCs: 1.2
Identify the main policies, procedures and legislations related to your role in training and
summarize the key concepts of these aspects.
The main policies, procedures and legislation related to role in training are as follows:
(a) According to the Ministry of Education (K12) of UAE, all learners should have possible
resources for their education and the education process should be simple for understanding.
According to this act, there should be academies for providing education and training.
(b) According to the Care standard of UAE, the provided education process should have an
updated standard so that learners must have an upgraded education for their better future. This
is necessary to have knowledge about current factors of society, nation and world.
(c) According to the Childcare act 2006, the children must be eligible for education after a certain
age and the education system for those children should be as simple as their understanding
level.

(d) According to Ministry of Education (K12) of UAE, all children should have education instead
of engaged in labour and child labour would be a punishable offence.
Unit 1: PC: 1.3
Explain how you can promote equality and diversity in your training role (provide at least two
examples.)
As per the government rules and legislation, all should have equal options for education and training.
However, there would not be any diversity in education and training by the HR supervisors. All the
learners should be equal for education. As per the Education act, the education system should not show
any inequality with learners and HR supervisors; otherwise, there should be a gap between them and
the education system would not be completed.
Example 1, the Ministry of Education (K12) of UAE has provided provision for all to have equal option
or right for education; where religion, gender, disability etcetera would not be considered for education.
In this case also, the HR supervisor would be bound to provide equal level of education to learners by
not showing any diversity.
Example 2, the Freedom of Information by Ministry of Education (K12) of UAE has cleared that the
learners have the right to know all possible information regarding their education or related to
education. In this case, the HR supervisors are liable to provide all relevant information to them.
Unit 1: PC: 1.4
Within the context of training, explain why it is important to identify and meet individual learner
needs.
2

The interest level of people varies from person to person. Therefore, it is necessary to know the interest
level of the learners before providing education. Providing education based on the learner’s interest
level is essential for their future also. That is why, in the education system there are options for
choosing different streams like arts, commerce and science. According to the stream, the learners would
be able to enlarge their interest level and can have more knowledge. Likewise, in training also it is
necessary to understand the interest level so that the HR supervisor can make the training more
interesting. Otherwise, the learners would not find any interest in training and education as well.
Unit 1: PC: 2.1
Within the context of training, explain how you ensure a safe and supportive learning
environment for learners (include physical and psychological factors).
According to the Data Protection Act 1998, any organisation is not authorised to use personal data of
any provider for other external or commercial purposes. Therefore, in that way they might feel safe.
Moreover, the education system provides options to the learners, where they can choose their area of
interest and the HR supervisors are liable to provide education according to that. Along with this, the
education system would be simple enough for their understanding and HR supervisors would be
cooperative with the learners. In this way, the learning environment would be safe and supportive for
learners. This safety and support are physically and psychologically for the learners and the education
system has a law regarding this.
Unit 1: PC: 2.2
Within the context of training, explain why it is important to promote appropriate behaviour and
respect for others.
Education is a key factor for establishing the behaviour and thoughts of any person. Therefore, the
government has taken all possible steps and decisions for enlarging the scope of education for all.
Along with that, government monitors whether there is any who misses the scope of education and fail

to establish their future or fortune. In the context of training, the trainer should be able to provide
necessary information to the learners as per their requirement. Moreover, the trainer must try to make
learners understand the importance of education for their future lives and in context of how they can
use education for professional career. In this case, a system can be developed for providing education.
Unit 1: PC: 3.1 & 3.2
Explain how you collaborate with other professionals in your training role, mention who they are
and the scope of the relationships. (include any limitations to these relationships).
There could be an option to the trainer to introduce other professionals in the training program for
better understanding of learners. However, it is necessary for the trainer to have a good relationship
with other professionals. An education trainer can have a relationship with a doctor and the doctor can
help the trainer for providing health related education through trainings. The engagement of other
professionals is necessary for providing extra knowledge, which that professional can only know.
However, there could be limitations to the relationship. For example, the doctor can explain different
diseases to the learners, but cannot help to provide core knowledge about the medication process or
surgery. Therefore, the professional can help to a certain level and help to gain a general knowledge.
Unit 1: PC: 3.3

Within your training context, describe other professional help and/or resources that you can
refer your learners to in order to meet their needs. (Include people, procedures, and/or any
organizational policies and systems).
The above part has mentioned the other professionals who can help in training programs to the trainer
and learners. However, in training programs the HR supervisor or learners might need some resources
so better understandings. For example, pictographs or charts can be used for better understanding of
learners. Along with this, the HR supervisor in UAE must have white boards and projectors for their
training programs. Along with this, the HR supervisor must have feedback forms for learners, which
would be helpful to understand their interest level and to make the training or education program more
understanding. The feedback is also necessary for increasing the self-awareness.
Unit 4: Facilitate learning and development in groups
Unit 4: PCs: 1.1 &1.2
Within the context of training (learning and development), explain at least two purposes of
group-based learning and why facilitation must incorporate the characteristics and attitudes of
your group of learners.
It has been seen that the students of higher education or selection process in higher education has
group discussion; it is necessary for understanding the interaction level and understanding level.
Furthermore, the group discussion process helps to understand the knowledge of learners on a
particular area or topic. Therefore, in the context of training it is necessary to have group based
learning.
(a) The group based learning helps to have a better understanding on a particular area or topic, so
that the learners can get more knowledge, which could be helpful in future education.
(b) Apart from that, the group based learning facilitates confidence to learners to speak in public
and share their idea or opinion.
(c) In group based learning, the learners can have extra knowledge from others on the same topic,
which was unaware.
Unit 4: PCs: 1.3 &1.4

Identify at least two facilitation methods you would use in group-based learning. Evaluate each
method include an explanation of how to manage risks and ensure the wellbeing of learners while
using these methods.
The above part has discussed the necessity of group based learning and that is necessary for
enlargement of knowledge of learners. The group based learning helps to have a better understanding
on a particular area or topic, so that the learners can get more knowledge, which could be helpful in
future education. Apart from that, the group based learning facilitates confidence to learners to speak in
public and share their idea or opinion. Apart from that, different facilitation methods can be used in
group based learning.
(a) Role play is the first method to be used in group based learning. This method is useful for
showing the information and knowledge through an act or role. However, there could be a risk
of not understanding the roles by any viewer.

The barriers to learnings in group learning are as follows:
(a) Conflict between the learners could a barrier in a group learning in UAE. In group learning
process all participants have the right to share their opinions and ideas on a topic. Therefore,
different minds can share different ideas, so that could create different opinions and create
conflict level between them.
(b) Not having adequate knowledge could be another barrier in group learning in UAE. If the
learners have insufficient knowledge, then the group learning process could not be completed
fairly and no knowledge can be shared.
Unit 5: Understanding assessment in education and training
Unit 5: PCs: 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1,4
