Definitions
Employer-led enrolments – the employer assigns one of their own workplace based staff members to provide assessment support to the trainee (marking assessments, providing feedback, and registering assessment results). In larger organisations, this may be a dedicated role, while in smaller organisations, these responsibilities will likely be in addition to their core role with the organisation (e.g. as a registered nurse). Workplace based assessors need to be registered with Careerforce, have completed 4098 assessor training and have ‘scope’ to assess. These assessors receive ongoing support from the Careerforce Assessor Operations team.
Full Service Enrolments – learners are assigned an assessor by Careerforce, and who provides full assessment services to the trainee for the duration of the training programme (marking assessments, providing feedback, and registering assessment results). However, workplace based training by its very nature is a tripartite relationship between the learner, the employer and Careerforce. The employer is still responsible for creating a supportive learning environment, tracking the training progress of their staff, providing additional supports to their staff learners as and when required (e.g. study time, mentor/buddy supports), and providing observations as evidence to support the assessment decision.
