Choose a plastics, rubber or cablemaking activity that reflects the program your RTO will deliver. Use the product code to identify the exact unit, then check what the learner will work on and what they will record. A classroom example can introduce a material and its characteristics. A practical activity can ask learners to show how they work with the materials available in your training environment.
Put the job sheet beside the sample
Use a practice order that identifies a material, an expected result and a place to record what happened. Compare it with the sample learner instructions. Check whether a learner can identify which document applies to the job and tell when they need to ask the trainer for clarification. If several job sheets are supplied, agree on how the learner will know which one to use.
Look for evidence the assessor can follow
Review an example record from the viewpoint of someone who did not see the activity. Can they tell what the learner worked on, what they observed and which result they reported? Have an assessor identify the parts of the work they would observe and what they could review later. Decide how staff will associate a practice record with a particular learner and job.
Match the documents to the equipment
Compare the sample against the training area and the materials you can provide. A diagram or term that makes sense in one site may need explanation in another. Mark the references staff will replace and ask the trainer to check that the revised example is understandable. If a change affects an assessed activity, review the associated guidance and evidence requirements with the assessor.
Compare formats for the unit
Open the listing and see whether it supplies learning material, assessment documents or both. A trainer may need a classroom example to prepare the group before practical work. The assessor may need instructions, marking guidance and an observation record. Ask which of those are supplied in the listing and which your RTO already maintains.
Request a sample that fits the role learners are training for. Give it to a trainer and ask them to identify how the job will be introduced, which records the learner needs and what the group will do with the result. Have an assessor try the same example using a fictional submission. Record which local names, materials and forms require adjustment. Check all documents that refer to the same item before issuing the final version. Where courses share the unit, tell each trainer which example to use and how to find the reviewed files.
Where a job uses more than one material, ask the trainer to compare the labels used in the job sheet with those in the learner instructions. Check that a reviewer can identify which material the learner recorded.
