Task Instructions
This is one of three assessment tasks for this unit.
In this task, you are required to deliver a 15 minute presentation on a topic relevant to your role as a VET trainer/assessor. Design your presentation to
share skills and/or knowledge with other VET teachers who will be your audience. You will be given at least 2 weeks’ notice of the time and date of your
presentation.
The presentation can be in whatever format you deem relevant and effective. Examples include a workshop, traditional information session with
PowerPoint presentation or webinar.
Make sure you discuss your presentation format with your assessor/trainer/teacher at least one week prior including resources you may need such as
specialist equipment (e.g. data projector, computer, whiteboard, and flipchart) or software (e.g. Flash, internet connection, Prezi). In some cases, these
may not be available and you will need to bring in your own device with the appropriate software or use a different format for your presentation. You are
responsible for providing any handouts, posters etc. that you wish to use. You must also seek appropriate feedback from your audience at the end to
inform how your presentation can be improved and what worked well.
The criteria for assessment are listed in the table below, along with the standard expected to be deemed not yet satisfactory/satisfactory or highly
satisfactory. You must receive at least a satisfactory judgement for every criterion for this assessment to contribute to your overall competency. Note that
to be deemed satisfactory, your presentation must not be less than 10 minutes or more than 20 minutes.
