INTRODUCTION
Mapping is defined as representation of process, system, procedure, structure etc which
depicts arrangements addition to relationships between its distinct components as well as traces
flows of materials, personnel, energy and information. It helps an individual to simplify
complicated information, identify and acquire life skills, provides safety to work in competition
and connects with memories (Greenhood, 2018). To understand mapping, Airdri Limited is
selected which is hand dryer manufacturer that have creative team for nurturing ideas in the

The present assessment is based on role of teacher at workplace and other areas. It is
prepared in 5 sections in which Section 1 is related to role, working aspects and others of teacher
with other professionals. Section 2 is about laws, codes or practice along with regulations that
affects the role of teacher. Section 3 includes information for quality assurance and importance
of it in training. Section 5 includes law and resources along with IP rights, copyright and many
more. The last section highlights about minimum core and ways to consider minimum core in
planning stage, development stage and delivery stage.
MAIN BODY
1. Working with other professionals

competence. The major aim of a teacher is to help students as much as possible so that the
learners have best platforms for attaining learning objectives. In contrary, a teacher performs

in business so to promote fairness and elimination on any type of discrimination at workplace.
In present world, different organisations such as manufacturing, retail, e-commerce based
