It's All About Validation this National VET PD Week!

This year's 2021 National VET PD Week is inspired by the release of the National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER) research report (Authored by Francesca Beddie): Begin with the end: RTO practices and views on independent validation of assessment, which revealed the need for "more emphasis on the continuous professional development of trainers, and particularly assessors, as part of quality assurance"

The first of 5 validation webinars being brought to you across the week is presented by the lovely Francesca Beddie herself.

Francesca will present to you the findings outlined within her report which sought to deepen understanding of the persistent issues registered training organisations (RTOs) encounter when conducting independent moderation and validation of assessments, and of the nature of industry involvement in these processes.  

It is quite likely what you hear won't be new but instead will hone in on some of those challenges identified by the research:

•  Clarifying definitions and requirements
• Ensuring validation contributes to continuous improvement
• Operating in the online environment
• Engaging with colleagues, including in industry

		Join Francesca, as she unpacks the findings and gives you a quick run-down of the research that resulted, what previous pilots found was effective, and distill the points made by the many RTO practitioners she interviewed.
