ACCM College External Validation

ACCM Logo 2021 export v4

It鈥檚 time again for an External Validation session with the amazing VET practitioners of the Illawarra鈥檚 own SCAN Network.

 

What was on the agenda this session?

Led by our compliance champion Sharon Rich, ACCM asked the SCAN team to take a look at our Contribute to Sustainable Work Practices subject.

 We had recently updated this subject following our own internal validations and review of the feedback we seek out from our learners, and nothing makes us feel more comfortable than letting outside experts take a look before we go live with a new subject. Sharon brought four of our Trainers/Assessors with her to review other RTO鈥檚 assessments and take part in the review of our own materials.

 

What was the feedback?

The feedback was exactly what we hoped it would be. The reviewing team saw the value in the practical content, and we had set the learners up for success with thorough instructions and a strong knowledge foundation. It was also great to see that everyone agreed our clustered approach to the units worked well together and fully covered the required criteria.

Our own team also got a chance to see how other RTOs create and design their assessments. As part of reviewing their materials, we were not only able to offer advice, but consider how we can shape our future curriculum design practices.

 

What is SCAN? 

For anyone who doesn鈥檛 know what SCAN is, we are the South Coast Assessors Network.  A group of VET professionals who work together to share knowledge, promote the VET sector and help each other ensure RTOs in the Illawarra exceed the requirements of ASQA

This group of VET experts is led by the amazing Sarah Medezi (our good friend at Early Childhood Development and Professional Development or ECTARC).
