What to Expect

Learners will often select a text-based correspondence option where they have an unreliable or intermittent access to the internet. However, for equity and consistency purposes, the correspondence training should be considered as an “offline” version of what learners would experience in the online program. As such, it is also an integrated program of study that combines course content, learning activities, reinforcement tasks, extension exercises, reflections, and formative assessment. Furthermore, it enjoys all the same support options as the online program.

MRWED has historically found that most students prefer fill-in-the-blank type assessments rather than potentially problematic multiple-choice questions or essays. Consequently, most of our knowledge assessments are short-answer questions. To give you realistic scenarios that duplicate real work practices, there are also some projects so that you can follow a training or assessment process through all of the planning, conducting and reviewing phases - These are almost always popular with our students. Finally, there are some practical components that need observed by either a MRWED assessor (Don't worry we train them to be extra-friendly) through a video submission, or a third-party assessor.

This course has been designed to support the external student as much as possible. If you want more detailed information about how a Correspondence course might work for you feel free to call the MRWED Training and Assessment team on FREECALL 1800 2 TRAIN (1800 287 246)

Program Clusters

In the MRWED program, we have organised the units into the following three clusters:

Learning Design (DES)
Assessment (ASS)
Delivery and Facilitation (DEL)

Learning Design (DES)

TAELLN411 Address adult language, literacy and numeracy skills
TAEDES401 Design and develop learning programs
TAEDES402 Use Training Packages and accredited courses to meet client needs

The units in the Learning Design cluster address competence in both the design of learning products and the design of the learning process, as well as an understanding of the requirements of language, literacy and numeracy with adult learners. The unit TAEDES401 Design and develop learning programs addresses different applications and outcomes of the learning design process. TAEDES402 Use training packages and accredited courses to meet client needs provides the foundation for the Training and Assessment Training Package (TAE) and addresses the skills and knowledge needed to unpack and use Training Packages (or accredited courses) for different purposes and client needs. TAELLN411 Address adult language, literacy and numeracy skills provides an understanding of how to identify and support learner LLN needs.

Support activities will include:

Practice Tasks (e.g. Creating a Spiky Profile)
Research Tasks (e.g. Finding Units of Competency on www.training.gov.au)
Webinars (e.g. On the topic of “Unpacking a Unit of Competency”)
Webinar tutorials
Mentoring with LST Mentor
Dedicated Suite of Resources (e.g. Templates, Articles, Light Papers, Videos)

Key assessment tasks include:

Knowledge questions
Analyse a training package and/or accredited course, to examine its component parts, identifying relevant qualifications and units of competency or modules, and contextualising these to meet the specific needs of clients
design, develop and review at least two learning programs within the vocational education and training (VET) context.
use various sources and tools to gather information on the current LLN skills and skill requirements of a particular learner group
identify available sources of support to address at least two of the identified LLN skill needs of the learner group
select, use and review at least two instructional strategies and two assessment strategies that directly address the identified LLN needs of the learner group
customise and use at least two learning resources to address LLN requirements

Assessment (ASS)

TAEASS401 Plan assessment activities and processes
TAEASS502 Design and develop assessment tools

The units in the Assessment cluster address the process of designing and developing the assessment, the development of assessment plans and instruments, as well as assessment tools. Following these stages, it then moves into the assessing of candidates, which includes planning, conducting and reviewing of assessment. The cluster then finishes by addressing the necessary competencies needed to effectively participate in assessment validation.

The planning and organising of the assessment is covered by TAEASS401 Plan assessment activities and processes with the development of the assessing tools covered in TAEASS502 Design and develop assessment tools. The process of planning, conducting and reviewing the assessment of candidates is encompassed in TAEASS402 Assess competence, whilst TAEASS403 Participate in assessment validation covers the process of validating assessment systems, processes and judgements.

Support activities will include:

Practice Tasks (e.g. Mapping Assessment)
Research Tasks (e.g. Finding examples of Assessment Tools used within an enterprise)
Webinars (e.g. On the topic of “How to create best practice assessment tools”)
