Take a detailed look at the Principle of Flexibility!

Explore practical examples of Flexibility under the SRTO 2025 - ensuring your operations are appropriate to the context, training product & VET student.

Revisit the origins of competency-based training in Australia, tracing past definitions through to the present-day expectations under SRTO 2025. 

Flexibility is explicitly defined as tailoring assessment to suit the context, the training product, and the student. This includes recognition of prior learning, acknowledgement of workplace experience, and the ability to vary the method or format of assessment - provided the training product requirements are still met. 

Consider common examples of where flexibility can be introduced and where it is limited. Reflect on current practices and explore ways to improve flexibility through:

• Assessment tool design.
• Assessment instructions and resources.
• Assessor communication and support.
• Recognition of learner context and needs.
