How Does a Unit of Competency Really Work?

15 April 2024
Online via Zoom Webinar

This webinar is two of three in our Back to Basics Bundle presented by John Dwyer.


Overview

This brand new webinar will explore the fundamental components of a unit of competency to remind us about the way we should really look at a unit.

A unit is a standard. It is not a set of teaching notes or an assessment method! It is not a “what do I do on Monday” statement.

It defines, and suggests a way of measuring, “competence” with regard to a specified job role/function.

This webinar will answer the question: How does a unit of competence really work?  

The webinar will use actual unit components and actual assessment items throughout to illustrate points made


Key topics covered within the webinar

The unit of competency and its associated assessment requirements.

  • Why? How do these two parts work together?
  • What are the components of each of these parts?
  • How do the principles of assessment and the rules of evidence apply to the construction and use of the unit?
