Competency based training
The training that you do with Cherson Training and any other RTO is based around the idea of competence. In its simplest form, competence is an ability to perform a task. When we talk about competence in the training environment we are talking about your ability to perform set tasks at a level that would be expected of someone performing the same task on the job. To be competent in the workplace, you would perform the tasks over a period of time and in a variety of situations. When you are being assessed, we will also be looking for your ability to perform the task several times in a variety of different situations.
In line with this concept of competency Training Packages focus on what is expected of a competent individual in the workplace as an outcome of learning, rather than focusing on the learning process itself.
Competency standards in Training Packages are determined by industry to meet identified industry skill needs and are based on extensive research, validation and evaluation. Each competency standard or unit of competency reflects a discrete job function, area of work or occupational outcome. The standard is set by defining the work outcomes (referred to as elements of competency) to be met in demonstrating competency which are measured against defined performance specifications (Performance Criteria). Demonstration of the Performance Criteria is guided and supported by information and advice set out in the Evidence Guide of each unit.
Each of our trainers spends a considerable period of time ensuring that the training and assessment they offer meets all of the requirements of the Training package. this means you receive up to date, relevant training in easily understood language.
