Task Instructions
You are to design, develop and review a learning program. Your program must be different in design to the program developed in AT2, for example, incorporate online and/or workplace delivery and assessment.
Your program may be based on a unit of competency from your industry training package, or an accredited course. Alternatively, your program could also be based on an identified workplace need eg: induction program, workplace skills training, industry benchmark.
As a first step consider the context of the training; gather background information needed, identify the target group and stakeholders, determine the training needs and the unit/benchmark on which the learning program will be based.
a. Consult with at least one (1) potential participant/stakeholder in your program, to identify the following:
Training and/or assessment needs
Characteristics / individual needs
Learning styles/preferences
ACSF/LLN level
Current level of knowledge and skills (as they relate to the training needs)
b. Document your Collaboration Plan, (Appendix 1).
Complete the Program Aims and Benchmark questions (Appendix 2)
Document the background information for your learning program into Learning Program Plan Part 1 (Appendix 3). Include the following details:
Context what is the training scenario, where will the training be conducted (your workplace or simulated environment)? Who are the stakeholders?
Who are the target learners and what are their characteristics (age, job role, additional needs)
What is the training need, and what are the desired outcomes?
Provide a link (URL) to the unit/benchmark eg: Unit of competency, or a copy of the relevant workplace standard such as; Standard Operating Procedure, Job Description.
Unpack this unit/benchmark (from d above) to fully understand its requirements. Populate the benchmark information into the Competency Map (Appendix 4). Visualise what a competent person looks like, in other words, what can they do/perform and what do they know? Incorporate into Learning Program Plan Part 1 (Appendix 3), in Program outcomes.
Work through the following steps to design the program content and assessment outline, completing Learning Program Plan Part 1 (Appendix 3) and Learning Program Plan Part 2 (Appendix 5).
Analyse the content as described in the benchmark and identify key topics? I.e. to achieve this benchmark what content (knowledge/ skills) do they need to develop?
Group the content into a logical structure how many sessions what order? (Chunking and sequencing)
Consider application/practice opportunities and activities to compliment the topics.
Consider assessment methods to be used - how will you gather evidence of their competence (ability to reach the benchmark you are training to) broad assessment strategy e.g. workplace observation, written questions, portfolio.
This plan should have enough detail for anyone to be able to understand the what, when, where, how, why and with what to be delivered and assessed to meet the requirements of the unit/benchmark and adult learning principles.
Using the template headings as guidance ensure your Learning Program reflects the following:
Timeframes relevant to the volume of learning, content, learning activities and assessment expectations over time being addressed.
SMART Learning Outcomes with observable tasks that can be easily observed/assessed.
Content / Topics detailed to cover the requirements of the unit/benchmark
A variety of delivery strategies that reflect adult learning principles and are relevant to the target learner group and content.
Specific application activities to ensure participants have sufficient practice before assessment.
Identified assessment activities, both formative and summative, spread over the duration of the program.
Specific resources to be used, appropriately referenced.
Introduction, review, conclusion sessions and breaks as required.
Complete the Competency Matrix (Appendix 4), showing how and where the requirements of the unit of competency/benchmark are specifically taught within the program. Tick in the session in the matrix where the unit/benchmark requirements are specifically addressed, ensuring the competency/benchmark has been comprehensively covered.
Develop a Risk Control Plan (Appendix 6), identifying a minimum of four (4) risks and detailed management strategies. One (1) risk should be participants not completing the program.
Use the Learning Program Review Strategy (Appendix 7), to develop a review process for your learning program.
Use the Learning Program Evaluation Tool (Appendix 8), to conduct and document a review of your learning program with a stakeholder. This review must be conducted under observation where you demonstrate your communication and collaboration skills. You may choose to:
Conduct the review with an industry/ peer stakeholder and have your Assessor observe, or
Conduct and video the review, submitting for your Assessor to observe, or
Conduct the review with your Assessor as the stakeholder.
Use the feedback and recommendations from your stakeholder review to make any necessary changes to your Learning Program, and update the version control of the documents to reflect any changes.
Discuss and negotiate details with your Assessor.
During the review you are required to demonstrate the following:
Introduction and orientation of all participants to the activity
Following all legal, ethical and organisational requirements
Maintenance of a safe work environment (risk assess workspace, WHS emergency procedures etc.)
Professional communication, questioning and collaboration skills to review the program

Case Study scenario:
Background to the training, context and stakeholders
You are employed by TAFE Queensland RTO who has recently received some funding to deliver a training program which aims to maximise the prospects of young job seekers under 25 getting a job. The program has three phases:
PrepareFoundation Work Skills Trainingto help young job seekers better understand what employers expect of them in the workplace, and equip them with the skills, attitude and behaviours for them to be successful in a job.
Triala voluntaryinternship placementof between 4 and 8 weeks to give young job seekers workplace experience.
HireaYouth Bonus wage subsidypaid to employers to support the employment of young people.
Your team has been appointed to facilitate the Prepare phase of the program in your region. It has been agreed that the training should be competency based, drawing from two training packages, specifically the Foundation Skills and Business Services packages. All units of competence will contribute to a formal qualification in BSB20120 Certificate II in Workplace Skills (Release 1)
TAFE Queensland has secured placements for the internship phase, with ACME Pty Ltd., a medium sided administration services organisation. One potential area of concern was that the interns must have undertaken some basic health and safety training prior to their first work placement. You have been given the task of developing the work health and safety component of the program. This training will be delivered at various regional locations onsite at TAFE Queensland, face-to-face, in a simulated workplace environment (ACME focus), with a maximum of 20 participants in a group.

Joanne is a vocational trainer and assessor of Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) in various industries. She has been asked to take over a class for a colleague who will be absent for an extended period. The students in the class are existing workers from a local healthcare facility and the employer is supporting them to achieve an entry level qualification for their sector. Joanne will be teaching the unit BSBWHS211 Contribute to health and safety of others.
Joanne conducted an orientation, but no class sessions have been held yet. At the orientation:
A Learning Support teacher administered an initial language, literacy and numeracy task, and
Joanne collated some personal details about each of the students from information provided by the employer and an initial interview with each student.
The employer has also provided some details about the typical workplace WHS tasks in which the students are required to participate.

Q3. After reviewing the student profiles and the LLN results, the LLN Specialist advises that several students in the group may struggle with speaking, listening and following verbal instructions because of a disability (Marion), or because English is not their first language (Rangipai, Ajok and Micky). The LLN specialist suggests some strategies for session planning and delivery to assist these students, including:
using the whiteboard as a visual aid for key points, oral explanations, and the session plan for each day
writing instructions in sequenced steps
demonstrations of workplace conventions or processes
avoiding colloquialisms and idioms
Refer to the resources in Connect, the Participant manual and the LLN What Works video series and record another four (4) strategies you could implement which would be beneficial for these students.

Q4. Joannes colleague gave her some resources on Risk Management to use in class. An excerpt from one of the resources is in the panel below. The LLN Specialist teacher reviewed the resource and discussed some modifications with Joanne because of problems related to presentation (design, formatting and layout), language use, and task complexity.
Read the excerpt and respond to the following questions21590297815Risk management
It is important to identify the hazards associated to a particular activity or event prior to it starting. This allows you to anticipate possible issues that may arise and gives to the opportunity to take preventative action and control the risks before they can have a chance to cause injury. Risk management is simply a structured and systematic approach to decision making for a range of issues including health and safety management. The risk assessment process rates the level of risk (by severity and likelihood) and is used to create a plan on how the risk will be controlled.
There are four stages of risk management which are set out in the legislation. They are: Identify hazards (a wet floor), Assess risks (may cause someone to slip or fall), Decide on controls (use 'wet floor' sign to warn people of the problem), Implement controls (place a 'wet floor' sign on the floor to control the potential for an accident), Monitor and review (This is where we check our plans and actions to ensure they achieved/ are achieving what they were supposed to). It is suggested that you will not be required to perform top end risk management activities in your role. However you will be required to report on hazards that you become aware of and assist the safety personnel in providing input into prevention and the facilitation of control measures.

Apply the changes to the copy of the following excerpt i.e. adapt the excerpt relevant to your above mentioned changes:
Risk management
It is important to identify the hazards associated to a particular activity or event prior to it starting. This allows you to anticipate possible issues that may arise and gives to the opportunity to take preventative action and control the risks before they can have a chance to cause injury. Risk management is simply a structured and systematic approach to decision making for a range of issues including health and safety management. The risk assessment process rates the level of risk (by severity and likelihood) and is used to create a plan on how the risk will be controlled.
There are four stages of risk management which are set out in the legislation. They are: Identify hazards (a wet floor), Assess risks (may cause someone to slip or fall), Decide on controls (use 'wet floor' sign to warn people of the problem), Implement controls (place a 'wet floor' sign on the floor to control the potential for an accident), Monitor and review (This is where we check our plans and actions to ensure they achieved/ are achieving what they were supposed to). It is suggested that you will not be required to perform top end risk management activities in your role. However you will be required to report on hazards that you become aware of and assist the safety personnel in providing input into prevention and the facilitation of control measures.
Within the Risk Management excerpt is a hyperlink to the four stages of risk management.

Q5. Joannes colleague also gave her an idea for an assessment task on risk management. The outline is below.
Risk management assessment task
Allocate a part of the building to each student (not the area they normally work in). Give them 15 minutes to wander around their allocated area looking for hazards. They should make some notes about the hazards, assess and rate the risk, decide on a control, and then note how they would implement the control. Back in class, students should present their findings to the rest of the group and receive feedback and questions.
Comment on the challenges the students in the case study may have with the above assessment task.
In your answer include the following:
The level of the relevant core skills (reading, writing, oral communication, numeracy) that would be required to complete the activity without support
A statement about particular individuals who may struggle with this task and the reasons why in relation to their ACSF levels
Possible cultural and social sensitivities this task could raise
Describe the changes you would make to the assessment task so it could be used with this learner cohort
