Training and assessment resources serve a group that may already bring experience from another industry. Use your delivery plan to identify where they will practise planning, facilitating or assessing learning. Compare the code and unit choices before selecting resources for a Certificate IV, diploma or graduate program.

Compare the trainer and candidate perspectives

Read an example task as a candidate first. Identify what the instructions expect you to do and which files you need. Then read the assessor guidance and see how it addresses the same activity. A practice assessment may involve gathering evidence from another person, so decide who can take that role and how the assessor will document the candidate's own performance.

Plan the evidence before the workshop

Ask a trainer to map a sample delivery activity to the time and facilities available. If a group will facilitate short sessions for one another, review the instructions for the facilitator, participants and observer. Where candidates are expected to use a learning platform, check which records they can export or retain and how the assessor will identify which candidate produced them.

Use one lesson to review the materials together

Pick a short topic that a candidate could deliver. Compare the learning material that introduces lesson planning with the task instructions and the documents used by the person observing delivery. See whether the candidate can tell what to prepare and whether the observer can see what belongs on their record. If the candidate must reflect afterwards, check that the materials give them access to the observations they need.

Compare unit choices before committing to a kit

Read the selected listing against your qualification and unit plan. A course that emphasises assessment practice may need different examples from one focused on digital education or adult language, literacy and numeracy. Decide which documents your trainers will use in class and which files your assessors need to judge the work. Ask which electives the product includes if the listing covers a full qualification.

Review a sample with someone outside the delivery team

Ask another trainer to follow the candidate instructions and identify the evidence they would submit. Have an assessor read the same example and explain what they would observe or review. If the cohort will practise on different platforms, use a trial activity to decide how a candidate will identify their records. Check the files that refer to the platform before editing those instructions so the candidate and assessor copies stay aligned.

If candidates bring examples from different industries, agree on how trainers will introduce those examples and give each candidate comparable opportunities to practise.
