Use the AQF Volume of Learning Indicators as a benchmark

Learn an effective method to determine the amount of training needed to allow learners to develop the skills and knowledge required by the relevant unit(s), before they are assessed.

Competency-based training is about developing competencies and not the time required for individual learners to achieve them. The training will depend on their prior skills, knowledge and other factors. However, RTOs are required to determine an amount of training (weeks, hours) suitable for each learner’s cohort.

This webinar will help you to determine the amount of training required for a particular training program ensuring compliance and the integrity of the unit/qualification outcomes.
