Volume of Learning and Amount of Training – there is a ‘big difference’, and you need to know it!

12 February 2021
ONLINE

The Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) provides a guide to the volume of learning, and your RTO is required to comply with the AQF in applying the volume of learning to your programs.

The amount of training you provide must enable a learner to meet the requirements of each training product, and gain the skills and knowledge specified in the relevant training product and your RTO must ensure the amount of training you will provide is sufficient.

But what exactly is the difference between these two things and why do they cause issues when it comes to preparing our Training and Assessment Strategies?

Join VET Expert John Price for this brand-new webinar (developed in response to 2020 feedback asking for PD on this topic!) that will help unpack what you need to know and why!


Key topics covered within the webinar

  • What the ‘big difference’ really is and how ASQA describe this difference
  • Why this difference causes an issue in the preparation of the Training and Assessment Strategy (TAS) and how we can resolve it prior to audit
  • How a ‘directed and structured’ approach to delivery of training supports the way the ‘Amount of Training’ is described in the TAS; and
  • Yes, it is required to be included in the TAS even if the training product is a single unit or a Skill Set.
