Course Content

SO1 – Plan and Prepare for facilitation
By the end of this unit you will be able to demonstrate your ability to: • Determine the learning needs of learners and identify the key elements of learning required to achieve defined outcomes. Confirm learning outcomes are to meet stakeholder objectives. (Stakeholders may include but are not limited to - learners, trainer, colleagues, supervisors, management, quality assurance staff, health and safety staff.) • Cater for the needs of learners and stakeholders, possible learning barriers, previous learning experiences, literacy and numeracy levels, language, culture, special needs and different learning styles. • Arrange Resources, locations, and personnel to suit intended delivery. • Prepare learning material that supports the purpose of the facilitation activities and the agreed outcomes. (Learning material could include notes, diagrams, worksheets, audio and visual aids and models) • Select appropriate facilitation methods that meet learner needs and the agreed learning outcomes. Provide descriptions of a variety of facilitation methodologies in terms of their essential approach and purpose, and selected methodologies are justified in terms of applicability to the identified learning needs. • Prepare according to the facilitation process to ensure the facilitator is ready to implement the process. This includes the availability of key questions, scenarios, triggers, challenges, problems, tasks and activities as is appropriate to the situation. • Arrange the learning environment to meet organisational and legislative requirements for safety and accessibility. • Establish and document Review Criteria in accordance with organisation policies and procedures.

SO2 – Facilitate learning
Assessment Criteria By the end of this unit you will be able to demonstrate how to: • Facilitate learning in a coherent manner using appropriate methodologies in line with established principles associated with selected methodologies. • Ensure that the learning environment and facilitation approach promotes open interaction and ensures learners are aware of expected learning outcomes and are active participants in their own learning. • Ensure that the facilitation approach and use of facilitated activities enables learners to draw from and share their own experiences and work out and apply concepts for themselves. • Ensure that facilitation contributes to the development of concepts through participation and provides opportunities to practice and consolidate learning. Facilitation promotes the achievement of agreed learning outcomes by individuals while maintaining an emphasis on the manner and quality of the learning experience. • Manage Groups in line with facilitation principles and in a manner that maximises the strengths of group learning while recognising the needs and requirements of individual members. • Use Questioning techniques that are consistent with the facilitation approach, promote learner involvement and contribute towards the achievement of learning outcomes. • Create opportunities to monitor learner progress in terms of the agreed outcomes, and where possible facilitate the gathering of evidence for assessment purposes. Where necessary, modifications are made to the facilitation approach to ensure the learners` needs are addressed.

SO3 – Evaluate Learning and Facilitation
ASSESSMENT CRITERIA By the end of this unit you will be able to demonstrate your ability to: • Obtain Learner and stakeholder feedback on facilitated learning and critically analysed against review criteria. • Conduct review that will reveal strengths and weaknesses of the planning, preparation and facilitation of learning. • Provide for recommendations in the Review for improvement in future interventions, including the possibility of remedial actions.
