Webinar Recording: National VET PD Week - Validation (Webinar Bundle)

Topic overview:

The National VET PD Week bundle is made up of five content-rich webinars that looked closely at the all-important self-assurance process, Validation.

The National VET PD Week had been inspired by the release of the NCVER research report (Authored by Francesca Beddie): Begin with the end: RTO practices and views on independent validation of assessment, 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”.

With the support of NCVER, Velg Training built the 2021 National VET PD Week in direct response to this need!

It was specifically designed for all VET Practitioners to upskill, extend knowledge and provide practical guidance relating directly to their role in Validation practices.
