By now, CFI's of Schools offering Instructor Training will have received this important documentation from Guild of Air Pilots and Air Navigators (GAPAN) and the Transport and Logistics Industry Skills Council. The workshop is designed to provide innovative instructional technique information and practice. Whilst aimed at those CFIs and Grade 1 instructors who are, or may be, involved in training new instructors, the practical techniques covered in the workshop will be relevant to all types of flying training instruction. The knowledge gained from the workshop will also be beneficial in the new competencies that will be introduced as part of the new CASR Part 61 legislation. The Civil Aviation Safety Authority has been fully involved in course development and supports the workshop.
In brief, the three day workshop includes:
· Principles of adult learning
· Mentoring/coaching/1:1 training
· Lesson planning
· Assessment techniques
· Methods of delivery
· Cultural awareness
· Documentation and record keeping
· Issues update
In addition to offering this workshop as a professional development opportunity, TLISC is also providing you with the opportunity to enrol for a potential Statement of Attainment for the units. This is not a requirement for Registration for the three days but is offered as an extra formal recognition of successfully completing the two units of competency. It will require your commitment to compile the required Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) materials and to attend an assessment workshop four weeks after the three day course at the same venue. One of the requirements of the RPL will be that you deliver a training session covering all critical aspects of evidence, elements, associated performance criteria, required skills and knowledge in the unit TAEDEL401A.
This is a once in a lifetime chance to gain these qualifications at no cost to the candidates. Enrollment's close 5th April 2012 and seats are limited to 12 candidates per venue.
