This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to conceptualise, design, develop and review learning programs to meet an identified need for a group of learners. The unit addresses the skills and knowledge needed to identify the parameters of a learning program, determine the design, outline the content and review its effectiveness.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Define parameters of the learning program
  • 1.1. Clarify purpose and type of learning program with key stakeholders
  • 1.2. Access and confirm the competency standards and other training specifications on which to base the learning program
  • 1.3. Identify language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the program
  • 1.4. Identify and consider characteristics of the target learner group
2. Work within the vocational education and training (VET) policy framework
  • 2.1. Access relevant VET policies and frameworks, and apply to work practices
  • 2.2. Identify changes to training packages and accredited courses and apply these to program development
  • 2.3. Conduct work according to organisational quality assurance policies and procedures
3. Develop program content
  • 3.1. Research, develop and document specific subject matter content according to agreed design options
  • 3.2. Evaluate existing learning resources for content relevance and quality
  • 3.3. Specify assessment requirements of the learning program
4. Design structure of the learning program
  • 4.1. Break the learning content into manageable segments and document timeframe for each segment
  • 4.2. Determine and confirm delivery strategies and required assessment methods and tools
  • 4.3. Document complete learning program in line with organisational requirements
  • 4.4. Review complete program with key stakeholders and adjust as required
  • 4.5. Ensure a safe learning progression by analysing risks in the learning environment and including a risk control plan

EVIDENCE GUIDE
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment
Assessment must address the scope of this unit and reflect all components of the unit. Arange of appropriate assessment methods and evidence-gathering techniques must be used to determine competency. A judgement of competency should only be made when the assessor is confident that the required outcomes of the unit have been achieved and that consistent performance has been demonstrated.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the ability to:
design, develop and review learning programs within the VET context
prepare and develop a minimum of two learning programs:
that contain differentiated learning program designs to reflect particular needs, contexts and timelines
at least one of which must be based on competency standards or accredited courses and must cover at least one entire unit of competency or accredited course module.

Context of and specific resources for assessment
Evidence must be gathered in the workplace whenever possible. Where no workplace is available, a simulated workplace must be provided.

Method of assessment
