Master Mentoring: Integrating Foundation Skills into Training and Assessment Design

31 May 2022
Recording of Zoom Meeting

Please note: This second session in our Master Mentoring  program has now occurred. However you can still purchase the recording independently or as part of the bundle.

Overview: 

Training and assessment of foundation skills is not just for those who teach from the FSK Training Package!

They are pivotal to all we do as trainers/assessors whatever training package we work with.

Foundation skills are essential for successful participation in all types of work, education and community life. The term ‘foundation skills’ has been adopted at a national level to describe the generic skills that underpin the development and application of more specific skills named in units of competency.

This 90-minute webinar provides a 6-step process to identifying and integrating foundation skills into the design of training and assessment activities, which seek to enhance the skills needed by learners to work, live and learn.

Key topics/outcomes from in this webinar:

  • Explaining the importance of foundation skills
  • Describing the evolution of foundation skills in Australia
  • Identifying the benefits of examining the foundation skills found in a unit of competency
  • Stating the compliance implications for not covering foundation skills
  • Describing the 6-step process to identifying and integrating foundation skills into training and assessment activities.
