RII Training Package Buyer Guide

CAQA Resources3 min read
Read the article

RII training can bring together very different work settings, from civil construction and plant operation to mining, emergency response and drilling. The catalogue includes resources for these areas. Begin by naming the work setting and the equipment or facilities the RTO can arrange. A unit delivered around a civil construction site will require a different practical plan from an emergency response exercise or a program designed for underground work.

Map the site to the training plan

The collection contains Certificate II and Certificate III examples for distinct roles and environments. Review the unit or qualification code and think through the task a learner will perform. A classroom can support briefings and discussions about a procedure. A suitable simulation can let learners practise selected steps. An employer setting may be needed for activities your training plan locates at work. Confirm how the assessor can access the site, what supervision is available and which activities the learner can perform there.

Identify any site access, equipment, operating approvals and protective items the RTO needs to arrange for the chosen task. If a site cannot provide a required condition, change the delivery plan or arrange another setting before you rely on the resource. An ERF Checklist can structure this review. A Vocational Placement Kit may be useful for documenting responsibilities where a workplace is involved. Neither supplies access to the location or authority to operate equipment.

Worked example: planning a civil plant session

Start with a task that the training site can safely make available and the equipment the cohort will use. Give learners a practice brief and have them identify the work area, the planned sequence and what information they need before starting. Plan where the trainer will demonstrate and where the assessor can observe. Compare the resource instructions with the site procedure and the time available for preparation, practice and reset. If the RTO already has the practical sequence, review the assessment documents for how the learner's decisions and actions can be recorded.

Worked example: coordinating an emergency response exercise

Set up a supervised scenario that the training site can support. Give the group a brief, define the roles and provide the communications equipment or substitutes appropriate to the exercise. Introduce a change to the scenario that requires learners to pass on updated information. Review the learning resources to see where the trainer can prepare the group for that change. Check the assessment guidance for what each learner should demonstrate and how the assessor can tell who did what. Plan the exercise around the facility and supervision your RTO can actually provide.

Select supporting material separately

Review an Assessment Kit when the trainers already have the work instructions and practice arrangements. If the program needs introductory learning content as well, compare a combined kit for the same code. Use a Session Plan to examine preparation and timing and a Learner Guide to see how the resource explains the work before the practical. Include the training code, role and site arrangements when asking for a quote. A precise request helps the store identify the listing and helps the assessor review whether the proposed resource fits the program.
