Webinar Recording: LLN Testing - Keeping it simple and getting it right

Recorded on 24/10/2019 as part of National VET PD Week, this webinar explored LLN testing and how the ACSF provides a structure for the identification of LLN needs, and to contextualise learning and assessment materials to ensure underpinning competencies are demonstrated.

Please note that the revised Standards for Registered Training Organisations were publicly released on 1 October 2024 and will come into full regulatory effect from 1 July 2025.

The Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) 2015 will continue to apply until then.

This webinar recording refers to, and is based on, the requirements for the current regulatory environment.
