It is important for WTA to be able to confirm that trainers and assessors have the required workplace skills and experience to confidently and competently train our students!
The ASQA Standards require that a trainer and assessor is capable and experienced in the requirements of each training product they deliver, at least to the level described in that specific product.
Many trainers and assessors will hold the units of competency that they are delivering. But vocational competency can also be demonstrated through equivalence of competency. Demonstrating equivalence of competency means that the trainer and assessor has the broad knowledge, skill and experience requirements similar to actually holding the unit of competency.
WTA support ALL trainers’/assessors’ to undertake professional development each calendar year, in teaching and learning methods and in understanding the requirements of the vocational education and training (VET) sector,
Completing PD relating to VET, means you are able to demonstrate how those development activities contribute towards:
- your understanding of the requirements of the VET environment
- improving the way in which you train and assess.
