Dual Diploma TAE50116 Diploma of Vocational Education and Training & TAE50216 Diploma of Training Design & Development

As part of this unit students need to understand and use the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF) to identify and assist with LLN challenges. Students will analyse the LLN requirements and levels for training specifications, the levels of real vocational learners, adapt and contextualise resources to suit the LLN levels of your learners and deliver the training to those real vocational learners.

Please be aware of the below interaction requirements for Distance+ course students:

• Access to two real vocational learners
• Presentations must be recorded and submitted for assessment

Students enrolled in the iClass+ course pathway can complete their presentation in a separate two-day iClass+ workshop and would not be required to submit a recording. Please see the TAE class schedule page for available dates.

^{Note: A ‘real vocational learner’ is defined as a learner undertaking training required for their employment and directly related to the specific skills needed for that employment or enrolled with an RTO.}

• Access to at least three assessors for a planning and review meeting
• Meeting must be recorded and submitted for assessment

Students need to lead a team of at least three assessors (if you do not have the opportunity to do this in your own RTO we recommend you discuss attending our iClass+ course for this).

Students enrolled in the iClass+ course pathway have the opportunity to carry out all interactions for this unit in class and are not required to record the session.

As part of this unit students will design and develop evaluation instruments and carry out an evaluation of a training program.

Please be aware of the below interaction requirements for all students:

• Access to one or more individuals to act as stakeholders for the training program you review
• Signed third party report from a supervisor / main stakeholder to confirm you conducted your evaluation in an appropriate manner

As part of this unit students will explore a range of professional development opportunities and reflect on their own training and assessment practice.

Please be aware of the below evidence / interaction requirements for all students:

• Evidence of having participated in minimum of at least two networking activities
• Evidence of having received feedback from two peers and two students for at least 10 hours of your delivery
• Evidence of you having observed two other facilitators and having provided them feedback
• Evidence of you having received feedback from two peers in relation to your assessment of at least 10 candidates
• Evidence of you having provided feedback to two assessors in relation to their assessment
• Access to a supervisor or manager to verify you have undertaken professional development activities in an appropriate manner

Duration: Students undertaking training have 18 months from their enrolment date to complete their studies and submit all assessment workbooks for this course. RPL candidates have 12 months from their enrolment date to complete their RPL interview and submit all required evidence. (Students may extend the duration of their enrolment on a month-by-month basis – extra fees apply as detailed in our schedule of fees.) Students may complete and submit their assessment workbooks at any time during their enrolment.

Assessment turnaround: The turnaround time for assessment submissions received by Plenty Training is approximately 20 working days from the date it is received. The time frame can vary depending on the number of assessment submissions being received at any given time. Once a student has been deemed competent in all units they will be issued with their qualification within 30 calendar days.

Workload: The following table summarises the anticipated student workload as per our Training and Assessment Strategy for this qualification. This represents the notional duration of all activities required for the achievement of the learning outcomes. These figures represent a combination of all formal training delivered in this course (however students are not obligated to avail themselves of all offered training and resources), and the anticipated self-study and assessment workload for a student who has no knowledge or skills in any of the content of the delivered units.
