Hi readers. Another good week with plenty of action. Managed to finally catch up on some things and lock down some new ventures. This week involved:
Three night classes – 6 til 9
Marking and assessment of three online programs
All day Monday – Project Management
All day Thursday – Diploma of Sustainability (Last day of program – in house)
Drafting project plan and assessment process for large Government client
Won a new contract that will take up a big chunk of next year across Australia and NZ
Completed LLN unit of Cert IV TAE for requirements next year.
In regards to the last statement I want to make a few comments. This week I became the student and it was great. I needed the LLN unit TAELLN401A for training requirements and for the Diploma TAE and so using my own advice to students instead of going through RPL (which is painful) I attended a one day session (Friday) and learnt by activity and group interaction what is required and completed the assessment requirements. One day. Great. For your information it was MRWED and it was an informative program, well organised, good trainer and the assessment was sound and valid. I came out of the experience knowing more and competent and satisfied that it was a day well spent. Thank you MRWED!
Always interesting to be a student again and in a group of trainers. I met some very nice and diligent people and I observed some real tools who shouldn’t be training and assessing people. Wow- there are still some trainers out there who still don’t get it or understand it.
Late back after breaks. stupid comments. Not listening. Not following instructions. Playing with phones. Saying this, “If we had cut out all of the breaks we would have been out 1.5 hours earlier”.
Key learning for me – be a participant every now and then you will really learn so much about program delivery from being on the other side of the fence.
Have a great weekend.
