This unit specifies the competency required to integrate and extend delivery and facilitation practices to support learning of a diverse client base operating in a range of contexts within the vocational education and training sector.
Competency Field
Delivery and Facilitation
Application of the Unit
Advanced facilitation involves the trainer/facilitator creating a conceptual and experiential framework of professional practice that synthesises applied knowledge of learning theories and practical demonstration in a variety of teaching methodologies and delivery practices to suit different learner needs and learning contexts.
Increasing diversity in the vocational education and training sector client base requires high levels of flexibility in teaching/delivery practices that can support both generic and vocationally specific learner and client competency needs, often independent of time and place. This unit of competency draws on the trainer/facilitator's existing competency in delivery and facilitation to develop advanced facilitation skills, knowledge and practice.
Successful achievement of this unit will depend on the trainer/ facilitator having acquired competency across a number of delivery and facilitation methods and modes to support individual and group learning. These competencies are addressed separately in other units in the Delivery and Facilitation field.
Where this unit is undertaken as a single unit outside of the TAA50104A Diploma of Training and Assessment, learners must demonstrate competency in the following two pre-requisite units:
· TAADEL402A Facilitate group-based learning
· TAADEL403A Facilitate individual learning
Plus at least one of these units:
· TAADEL404A Facilitate work-based learning
· TAADEL501A Facilitate e-learning
· TAADEL405A Coordinate and facilitate distance-based learning
· TAADEL502A Facilitate action learning projects.
This unit is applied in the context of documented learning frameworks, that is, learning strategies/courses/learning programs.
The competency specified in this unit is typically required by trainers/facilitators in environments requiring higher levels of knowledge and skill in practice. Such trainers/facilitators will often have a role supervising/mentoring other trainers/facilitators.
