Specific task instructions
To complete this assessment, you will be required to:
• Identify and define a learning or training need in your area of expertise
• Select an appropriate unit of competence to meet the need
• Identify learners needs and modifications that could be made to enhance the learning experience
• Analyse and interpret a unit of competency to develop learning content

Part 1: Organisational requirements and training need
As a trainer and assessor working in a Registered Training Organisation you are required to follow organisational quality assurance policies and procedures. The following tasks outline how this can be achieved when designing and developing learning programs.
By successfully completing these tasks you will demonstrate your ability to design learning/training programs according to organisational quality assurance policies and procedures.
Setting the scene
You have been approached by an organisation to train five new employees as part of the induction process.
The manager of the organisation explains the training must be completed within 4 months and will commence as soon as possible. The new employees are employed full time and will be permitted to participate in the learning program every second Tuesday starting as soon as with one unit of competency at this stage.
To complete this training and work effectively in the workplace the employees will need to be able to follow instructions from a manager, develop new skills and increase productivity.
You must select one of the following two options provided.
Option 1
This program is to focus on developing the skills to create and use spreadsheets and create basic word documents.
The agreed qualification is BSB20120 Certificate II in Workplace Skills as it is at the appropriate level and provides the right mix of customer service, teamwork, computer knowledge and skills.
The employee's role is to:
• Provide exceptional customer service related to any face to face, online or over the phone enquiry.
• Use a Microsoft Office Suite to manage customer enquiries, generate supplier invoices, basic text documents and use Excel spreadsheets.
• Maintain contact with suppliers, contractors and members of the public.
Option 2
Select your own unit of competency, based on an identified training need for a group of learners you are likely to train.
Access www.training.gov.au (http://www.training.gov.au/) to select a training package and qualification code and level that best suits your industry.
Task 1: Learning program overview
Establish the parameters of the learning program by completing the following table and identifying the following areas:
• Who: organisation and learners requiring the training
• Why: identified training need
• What: reason for selecting a unit of competency
• How: delivery mode and workplace documents or resources required
• When: start and finish date with the number of sessions indicated
• Where: classroom, workplace, or blended environment.
You will be assessed on your ability to:
• identify the organisations training need
• link the purpose of the training to the key success indicators
• identify a suitable training package and qualification level
• recommend and select an appropriate unit of competency
• provide suitable delivery mode, timeframe and number of sessions
Access AQF levels (full link: https://www.aqf.edu.au/aqf-levels) for information on the AQF levels.

Task 3: Contextualisation
Considering advice from the training package/course developer and the client, provide at least one example of how you could contextualise delivery content to meet the organisation needs.
Task 4: Analyse risk
Use the table provided to undertake a Work Health and Safety (WHS) risk analysis for the learning program. Provide at least two alternate controls or risk minimisation strategies for each identified risk.

Part 2: LLN skills required and learner needs
Task 5: Determine the LLN skills required for the training
Analyse the training specifications by reading through the unit of competency and identifying what the learner will need to read, write, orally communicate and the mathematical skills they will require. This process will assist in designing and developing your delivery plan.
You will be assessed on your ability to:
• interpret the unit of competency and identify the tasks
• categorise the tasks into the correct LLN skills
• outline how the skills are used.
LLN Skills Task and how the LLN skill/s is used
Read
Write
Oral communication
Numeracy

Task 6: Characteristics of learners and the impact on designing the program
Using the identified learners in the table below, provide an example of what reasonable adjustments could be made to allow for fair and equal delivery of training and assessment when delivering your learning program.
You will be assessed on your ability to:
• identify and select appropriate modifications to resources or structure based on the learner's characteristics
• correctly identify what instructional design principle this modification applies to
• explain why this instructional design principle is relevant
Learner name Describe the characteristic Modifications required due to characteristic Instructional design principle required

Part 3: Developing a delivery and assessment plan
Task 7: Develop a delivery plan
Now that you have identified the organisational requirements and learner needs the next step is to develop the delivery plan. Using the unit of competency or accredited course selected in the learning program, analyse how you will deliver the program taking into consideration the learner's needs.
You will be assessed on your ability to address and interpret a complete unit of competency by:
• break the content of the unit into manageable segments and sequence the segments into a logical order
• allocate the number of sessions to be delivered and timeframes, ensuring the sessions and training hours match Task 1
• include appropriate delivery methods suitable for the unit and context
• select suitable assessment strategies and identifying the unit assessment requirements
• incorporate the identified delivery or assessment strategies to meet the learner needs identified in Task 6
• use plain English, format and style suited to the audience.
Note: this is not a detailed session plan - it is a broad outline demonstrating where the components of the unit of competency are being covered and giving an indication of how they will be delivered.

Part 4: Review and modify the learning program
Task 9: Confirm and review the learning program
Once you have completed your learning program tasks 1 to 8 it can now be reviewed by another TAE4016 student completing the table below and providing feedback.
Using the table below you will be required to complete a review of the learning program by swapping with another TAE40116 student acting as the client and providing feedback to use in tasks 10. You cannot conduct the review on your own learning program.
Ensure you exchange the following information from tasks:
• Task 1, Learning program.
• Task 6, Characteristics of learners.
• Task 7, Develop a delivery plan.
• Task 8, Develop an assessment plan.
You will be assessed on your ability to:
• Effectively communicate the learning program to the client.
• Contextualise the delivery plan to meet client needs.
• Explain the considerations to the characteristics of the learner group.
• Confirm the delivery and training strategy.
• Provide appropriate advice to the client about assessment methods and requirements.
Your assessor will need to observe you and the other TAE40116 student completing this task, discuss with your assessor whether the observation will be live or whether you need to submit a recording and make the necessary arrangements.
The review of the learning program can be conducted in a suitable venue (for example a classroom) or an online environment such as MS Teams, Adobe Connect or another medium.
Where the review of the learning program is not being assessed real-time by your teacher or assessor, you must record the discussion using a mobile device or other equipment. Use the Video Assessment Instructions (https://share.tafensw.edu.au/share/file/744af7d4-a241-45e2-adb0-0e13f2fe4950/1/VideoAssessmentInstructions.pdf) to assist you with this process.
Refer to the Assessor Observation Checklist in the assessment feedback section to review the assessment criteria for this task, including the ability to effectively communicate with the other participants.
