Blended Learning Program, Part 1, Part 2 & Part 3 (attendance is required at all three-parts of this multi-part program)
The Victorian Skills Authority (VSA) provides funding to the VET Development Centre (VDC) to deliver workforce development training to improve the knowledge, skills and practice of VET teachers, trainers and assessors, and strengthen the learning environment, experience and outcomes for all VET learners.
In response to feedback from contracted training providers, VSA is funding professional development to support training providers in maintaining quality assessment practices that are consistent with their obligations as Registered Training Organisations and contracted providers.
This Skills First program is highly interactive and provides opportunities to build your network of contracted training providers and work collaboratively to extend your understanding of quality assessment practice and tools.
Registrants will need to ensure they can attend all three online sessions.
If registering in both Assessing Learners Effectively and Quality Assessment Practices, the Assessing Learners Effectively program should be undertaken first and then Quality Assessment Practices.
Multi-part blended programs provide an in-depth learning opportunity. They use the model of ‘plan, act, observe, reflect’ both during and between each session. Therefore, a commitment to attend each part of the multi-part program is imperative to achieve the desired outcome.
