Methodology
The workshop begins two weeks before the starting date. You will receive a pack of self-paced learning material, which demystifies the requirements of OBET and the NQF. You’ll need to work through this material and complete a preliminary exercise before you attend the workshop. There you’ll spend a morning session building upon your understanding of these compliance issues and applying your new knowledge to your organisation.
The workshop continues with hands-on activities, which build your skill in understanding the implications of OBET and the NQF and analysing unit standards. You’ll master the critical skill of analysing workplace competencies, so that you can use this information to identify learning requirements. You’ll master the knowledge and practise the different analytic methods in small learning teams. Your work is constantly assessed so that you learn constructively, building a platform of confidence to take back to the workplace. By the time you leave, you will have produced a complete set of analyses (job, competency and unit standard) ready for drafting into a training document. Post-course projects complete the learning and provide you with your portfolio of evidence (POE).
