Appendix 2 – Glossary 

Appendix 3 – Training and Assessment Strategy (TAS) – QualificationAdd more rows as required. Appendix 4 – Training and Assessment Strategy (TAS) – Individual UnitAdd more rows as required.ppendix 5 – Language, Literacy, and Numeracy Matrix Instructions:

  • Insert the codes of all the units in the “Unit Code” column.
  • Add or delete rows as required.
  • Research the units of competency on and locate the “Foundation Skills” section. If the units of competency you select do not have a complete Foundation Skills table, you must refer to the performance criteria.
  • Use the following information to determine the LLN performance rating for each skill:
  • Descriptions of the foundation skills and/or performance criteria
  • The AQF level of the qualification you have selected
  • Your professional experience and opinion
  • Identify the highest number in each column. This will form the minimum LLN requirements of your learning program.

 Performance ratings are on a scale from 1 (low level skills required) to 5 (high level skills required). If a LLN core skill is not relevant, simply insert a ‘–‘ symbol. Whilst the LLN performance ratings and the AQF levels of qualifications do not match up directly, they can be used as a starting guide for what performance level is required in each unit.

Please note that this will not always be the case. For example, the numeracy requirements in UEE30811 Certificate III in Electrotechnology Electrician might equate to an LLN performance level of 5, but other core skills will be much lower. It ultimately depends on the units of competency you select within the specified qualification. Please note: identifying LLN core skills will be covered in greater detail in TAELLN411 Address adult language, literacy, and numeracy skills. The purpose of completing this appendix is to provide a general estimate of the minimum LLN skill requirements.

There are no right or wrong answers; however extreme cases of inconsistency may require a review. Add more rows as required.  ppendix 6 – Learning Program Review appendix 7 – Internal Observation Checklist  

Key word/s

Explanations

Administer

How you intend to implement a task to the intended audience.

Assessment instruments

Assessment instruments may be written questions, activities, templates and observation checklists.

Assessment methods

Method of assessments may be direct observation, portfolio, questioning and third party evidence.

Active listening

Active listing involves listening to the information, understanding the information, providing feedback and responding appropriately.

Audience

The participants in attendance at a session.

Body language

The gestures, postures, and facial expressions by which a person manifests various physical, mental, or emotional states and communicates nonverbally with others.

Clustered

Where two or more units of competency can be integrated because there are similarities in the training package requirements. There is no need to assess a student twice if you are able to create assessment tools that cover both units. The benefits of integration are, students do not need have to cover the same content twice and it can cut down on their study time.

Contextual needs of the environment

This will depend on the work environment and industry. For example if the unit focuses on operating machinery then the assessment must consist of health and safety procedures that are relevant to the safe use of the machines. 

Contextualised

Contextualisation is the process of taking a training program and making it meaningful and relevant to the learner, their workplace or the industry.

Closed questions

Closed questions are often used to seek a one or two word reply such as yes or no. This method of questioning is useful when you are trying to obtain concise answers.

Facilitation skills

The act, process or experience of gaining knowledge through skill (hands on) based learning. To conduct training where the learner gains practical skills (not a lecture).

Handout

A document that contains topical information and is distributed to students to help focus on the session topic.

Language

Using industry specific language that is suitable for the level of the students and their learning.

Learning resources

Refers to any equipment, textbooks, activities or training aids that can be used to improve the learning process.

Materials

Using tools (e.g. cooking utensils, PPE items or apparatus) to perform a given task.

Monitor

The ability to analyse a situation, identify issues, resolve problematic situations and ensure activities are carried out properly.

Open questions

Open-ended questions allow the other person to provide a more detailed answer and encourage involvement in the conversation.

Outcome

This is the end result or desired result from training and/or assessment.

Records

Information or data on a particular subject collected during study and preserved for future reference for audit and proof of competency by the RTO.

Session plan

A document that explains the step-by-step timing of a lesson, the resources used in activities and the interactions of the class.

Skills

Proficiency, facility, or dexterity that is acquired or developed through training or experience in a ‘hands on’ environment.

Verbal delivery

The ability to speak clearly with correct pronunciation and adequate volume.
