Elements and Performance Criteria

The Range of Variables explains the contexts within which the performance and knowledge requirements of this standard may be assessed. The scope of variables chosen in training and assessment requirements may depend on the work situations available.

What may assist in determining training needs?
Industry/enterprise or other performance standards, endorsed components of relevant industry training packages, industry/workplace training practices, job descriptions, results of training needs analyses, business plans of the organisation which identify skill development requirements and standard operating and/or other workplace procedures.

What methods may be relevant to providing training support?
Demonstrations, explanations, problem-solving, mentoring, experiential learning, group work, on-the-job coaching, job rotation or a combination of the above.

What workplace procedures and relevant legislation may be relevant to this competency standard?
Award and enterprise agreements, related to OHS and environmental issues, relevant industry codes of practice, and standard operating procedures.

What evidence is required to demonstrate competence for this standard as a whole?
Competence in providing on-job training support requires evidence that on-job training support has been successfully and appropriately provided in an enterprise. The skills and knowledge required to provide on-job training support must be transferable to a range of work environments and contexts. For example, this could include different work places, training arrangements, competencies and trainees/learners.
What specific knowledge is needed to achieve the performance criteria?

Knowledge and understanding are essential to apply this standard in the workplace, to transfer the skills to other contexts, and to deal with unplanned events. The knowledge requirements for this unit are listed below:

adult learning principles
setting up on-job training support
approaches to on-job training support
resources required for on-job training support
reviewing and reporting on on-job training support
OHS issues related to on-job training support.

What specific skills are needed to achieve the performance criteria?

To achieve the performance criteria, some complementary skills are required. These skills include the ability to:

identify needs for on-the-job training support
provide follow-up and support to learner.

Are there other competency standards that could be assessed with this one?

There are a number of processes that are learnt throughout work and life, which are required in all jobs. They are fundamental processes and generally transferable to other work functions. Some of these are covered by the key competencies, although others may be added. The questions below highlight how these processes are applied in this competency standard. Following each question a number in brackets indicates the level to which the key competency needs to be demonstrated where 0 = not required, 1 = perform the process, 2 = perform and administer the process and 3 = perform, administer and design the process.
