Topic overview:

Ever been caught off guard by a Training Package change?

As VET Practitioners, we are all very aware that delivering vocational training and assessment is a continually evolving practice. Sometimes, just when we think we have all our scheduling, tools, resources and methods as perfect as perfect can be, the training package changes!

And so, we find ourselves going back to the drawing board and trying to get our heads around what this means for our beautifully designed, developed and delivered courses. At these times, VET practitioners simply see a list of ‘more things to do’ on top of what is an already very busy schedule. And, they would be right! This is the world of VET – one that is forever moving to reflect that of the industry areas it represents.

To ensure our students have the best possible outcomes, we must be prepared for updates and have armed and ready, a clear step-by-step process that isn’t ‘larger than life’ when it comes to transitioning them and our materials.

This webinar enhances your understanding of transition requirements!  The Presenter, Melanie Alexandra will step you through some key strategies to assist your approach, planning and implementation of requirements as and when transition expectations are imposed.
