Monday, 20 March 2023 10.30 am - 11.30am (AEST) Members: $55.00 (incl. GST) Non-Members: $65.00 (incl. GST) | Supporting Learners with Recognition for Existing Skills | We all know RTOs should offer recognition for any existing skills and knowledge to potential RPL candidates. But not every assessor reports feeling confident about supporting candidates in this process. In fact, many potential candidates report feeling so overwhelmed with the RPL process that they believe it’s “just easier to do the course." So, what can RTOs and assessors do to better engage with potential candidates and support them to navigate an RPL pathway? This session is aimed at providing information for RTOs and assessors to identify where and how persons with existing skills and knowledge can be guided through a recognition process. It will also explore some of the key touch points in current RPL processes that cause the potential candidate the most angst, before going on to identify strategies that can result in a fairer experience for candidates. |

GST) | Key Principles for Student Success and Engagement in an Online Environment | Most of us have been training online for the last couple of years – some even longer. But as the world becomes accustomed to ‘Zoom calls’ and ‘MS Teams’ does this automatically mean best-practice principles of online orientation and engagement are being applied in our delivery of online training and assessment? Care must be taken from the get-go to ensure no student is left behind. This session shows how to do it! Explore:

Thursday, 23 March 2023 10.30 am - 11.30am (AEST) Members: $55.00 (incl. GST) Non-Members: $65.00 (incl. GST) | Adults as Students: Top tips to keep them supported and on track | There are many reasons adults return to formal learning. For example, to work toward a new job, to upskill, or because it’s a workplace direction. Trouble is, being adults, they've already got busy lives with work, family commitments and other responsibilities, and study is just another thing to fit into a day. They may also have expectations about the learning environment that don't match reality. They might be out of practice with formal approaches to teaching and learning. And, perhaps not everyone has the technology or skills to participate in modern training and assessment. Sometimes you might even get adults in your classroom that don't want to be there but have to be. As a trainer, how do you deal with this reluctance and other challenges and turn it into something positive? |
Friday, 24 March 2023 10.30 am - 11.30am (AEST) Members: $55.00 (incl. GST) Non-Members: $65.00 (incl. GST) | Leverage Adult Learning Principles to Support and Facilitate Learning | Adult learners bring increased complexity to the classroom – they have distinct expectations from, and motivations for, any learning they undertake, and they bring their life experiences and current circumstances to the learning arena. As trainers and assessors in VET, when we teach adults, we deal with these principles every day. What’s interesting is that learning trends are moving away from teacher-led instruction to student-centred and social learning – some of the very same principles that underpin adult learning theory and relate to the andragogical model. In this session, explore how to leverage these principles in your own practice to understand, encourage and engage your adult learners. Also, take a look at how digital teaching tools can support this kind of collaborative development of skills and knowledge. |
