Workplace Learning Model
This course will be delivered in the workplace with on-line assessment via the XSEED Student Portal. Face to face
sessions may be provided depending on the student cohort and in consultation with their employer where
applicable.
Flexible delivery options such as the use of blended and/or self-paced materials allow students the flexibility to
complete their skill gap learning where they have other commitments.
It is possible for aspects of the training and assessment to be delivered via face-to-face method and may
incorporate workplace training depending on the circumstances of engagement with the course.
Participants should expect to undertake approximately 10 hours study per week for the duration of the session
schedule. These hours may be completed on or off-the-job.
Assessment Arrangements
A range of assessment environments are involved in the assessment of your competency. Workplace and case
study projects are employed for summative assessment, where workplace application of all competencies can be
observed by the XSEED Assessor. For on-the-job observations, the trainer will visit the participant on-site at a
mutually convenient time. The trainer will also talk with your workplace supervisor who will be asked to confirm
that you are performing the tasks being assessed in your work to the standards expected in the workplace.
Recognition documentation and applications is available for all units of competency for those participants who
have extensive experience in the unit areas. RPL applications will be offered and processed as per XSEED’s
Participant Advice and Selection Policy.
At all times, the assessment approaches planned will be compliant with XSEED’s Assessment Policy, and when
implemented meet the Code of Conduct requirements. All assessment approaches used will be compliant with the
requirements of the Assessment Guidelines from the national Training Package or accredited course curriculum.
For each unit of competency (and each element within the unit), a range of evidence will be collected as per the
evidence gathering techniques below. It is a requirement that all assessments maintain at a minimum, two types
of appropriate evidence to verify your competence for each element within a unit, which address the performance
criteria requirements of the elements. At least one of these evidence pieces should be a form of direct evidence (it
should be noted that evidence pieces may overlap elements and units within the course).
All assessment tools are aligned directly with the course the following ways:




Meets Unit, Element & Performance Criteria requirements;
Covers the Unit Range Statement or Range of Conditions, Evidence Guide and Critical Aspects of Evidence or
Assessment Conditions;
Covers all Underpinning Knowledge or Knowledge Evidence, and Skills requirements or Performance
Evidence; and
Covers Specific Evidence Requirements as listed in each individual unit of competency.
Resources are often specified that must be used in assessment at a unit of competency level. All specific resources
for each unit of competency are listed within XSEED’s Assessment Resource for each unit. Information within each
unit resource includes:




Specific assessment resources required;
Assessment methods available to be used;
Plan for and timing of assessment; and
Any adjustments that may be needed to cater for different participant characteristics.

Version 1.0
Assessors, when deeming a candidate competent, must have judged evidence collected to also have met the
requirement of the Dimensions of Competency and be certain that the candidate can consistently apply and
transfer the skills and knowledge covered into new work situations.
Educational & Support Services
An assessment is completed with all clients prior to enrolment to identify any individual need, resource
requirements, and support options for clients.
Participants are asked to identify their individual needs, but are sometimes reluctant to do so. XSEED personnel
monitor the progress of all participants and their readiness for assessment as they progress through their course.
Delivery materials and methods may be adapted for the special needs of clients. Some examples may include
enlarging print materials for vision requirements, provision of ICT equipment and support, accessing interpreter
services or using individual delivery methods. A range of support services, including LL&N training, may be
accessed as required for participant needs.
Reasonable Adjustment
There may be times and situations in which a participant may require ‘reasonable adjustment’ of the training and
assessment methods implemented by XSEED to meet their specific individual needs. These individual participant
needs may include (but not limited to):



Disability;
Temporary or permanent injury (i.e. back injury, broken leg/arm); or
Sight or hearing impairments.
Reasonable adjustments to the way in which evidence of performance is gathered (e.g. in terms of the
information to be provided to the candidate and the type of evidence to be collected from the candidate) can only
occur where the adjustments do not alter the expected performance standards for learning and assessment.
The reasonable adjustments to the training and assessment process may include a variety of modifications to the
methods of delivery and assessment to assist the participant undertake the course. The adjustments may include
actions such as:



Assistance in the form of the training location to allow easier access
Accessing relevant equipment or aids to assist the participant adjustments to the assessment methods to
cater for any special needs (without effecting the integrity of the outcome)
Recording of evidence gathered orally from the student
Where a participant requests or is identified as requiring reasonable adjustment to the training and assessment
process a detailed training and assessment plan including timetables, notes regarding the required adjustments,
and any related communications regarding the adjustments are maintained in the participant file.
Legislative Requirements
XSEED personnel note the following legislation that impacts on their planning and implementation of delivery
approaches in the course area. Specific legislative documents are located at: http://www.austlii.edu.au/
