What are the requirements for training or assessing under supervision?
Answer
The Standards for RTOs 2015 requires that a person that does not hold the required competencies (regardless of their skills and knowledge):
- must be supervised by a qualified trainer, and
- must not determine assessment outcomes.
Training must only be provided by those who have current industry skills and knowledge.
From 1 January 2016, people working under such supervision arrangements must hold the:
- Enterprise Trainer Skill Set (in either mentoring or presenting), and/or
- Enterprise Trainer and Assessor Skill Set.
For more information see Clauses 1.17 – 1.20 of the Standards Guide.
