Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to facilitate training in a synthetic environment in compliance with relevant regulatory requirements of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and national operating standards.Use of the unit for simulation training activities outside of an aviation context is in accordance with relevant regulatory, organisational or enterprise procedures.It includes planning a synthetic learning activity; preparing a trainee for these activities; and guiding, facilitating and monitoring learning. It also includes conducting post-training activities and reviewing facilitation processes.This unit addresses vocational training technical skill requirements (physical, mental and task-management abilities) related to synthetic training and assessment duties of vocational instructors and assessors and contributes to safe and effective performance in simple and/or complex operational and training environments.Operations are conducted as part of commercial and military vocational training activities across a variety of operational contexts within Australian industry.Work is performed independently or under limited supervision as a single operator or within a team environment.Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements are applicable to this unit.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
