2 Section 1: Meeting VET sector requirements Training organisations have a range of requirements that they must meet in developing and implementing quality training and assessment strategies and practices for course programs. As a trainer, you also have a range of requirements that must be considered when implementing programs for your specific group of learners. 1.1 How Aspire s resources assist in meeting requirements The following section outlines a range of VET sector requirements and how Aspire s resources may assist you and your training organisation in implementing a quality learning experience. VET sector requirement Australian Qualifications Framework The Australian Qualifications Framework is the national policy for regulated qualifications in the Australian education and training system. The AQF incorporates the quality assured qualifications from each education and training sector into a single comprehensive national qualifications framework. You and your training organisation must be aware of the requirements of the relevant AQF qualification or course requirements, from the endorsed training package, as you implement course delivery. Volume of learning When developing training and assessment strategies for this unit and the qualification for which it is relevant, you and your training organisation must take into account the volume of learning requirements as defined by the Australian Qualifications Framework. An explanation of volume of learning can be accessed at: content/uploads/2013/06/volume-of-learning- Explanation.pdf Aspire s approach Aspire s learning resources, practice tasks and learning checkpoints have been pitched at a level suitable for the unit of competency and the qualifications for which it is relevant, based on the specifications in the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) (Second edition, January 2013). For more information regarding these specifications, and to download the Australian Qualifications Framework, visit the AQF website at: The sample delivery plans provided in section 3.2 include suggested time allocations. You may need to adjust these allocations when planning delivery in the context of a whole qualification to meet volume of learning requirements and learner needs. Aspire Training & Consulting 7

5 3.2 Delivery plans The following sample delivery plans can be used to deliver BSBHRM506 Manage recruitment, selection and induction processes. These plans, including the time allocations, are suggestions only. You may need to add to them, change them or substitute your own activities according to the interest level, experience of the learners and the specific situation. Remember, it is your responsibility as the trainer to use the most appropriate strategies for your learners. The delivery plans have been developed for use in a face-to-face delivery environment. However, certain features of the delivery plans can be adapted to be used for individual/online learners, particularly for those parts of the learning content that necessitate some form of group interaction or communication.
