INTRODUCTION:
Welcome to the Support the Learning & Development of a Workgroup course. This course only includes a challenge assessment designed to assess your knowledge and skills required to demonstrate competence in supporting the learning and development of a team so that capability growth is aligned with organisational goals and contributes to improved performance.
Supporting workgroup learning and development involves understanding how organisational objectives translate into specific skill and knowledge requirements for individuals and teams. It requires the ability to collect and interpret performance information to identify development gaps, and to identify learning and development needs in line with organisational requirements, policies and priorities. Effective support ensures that learning is purposeful, planned and clearly linked to the outcomes the organisation expects from the workgroup.
The course assessment focuses on your ability to contribute to structured learning and development planning, and to recognise the practical requirements involved in putting those plans into action. You will be required to demonstrate how you collaboratively develop learning plans for individuals and the workgroup, align these plans to industry competency standards and career pathways, and select appropriate learning and development methods to suit different learners. The assessment will also examine your capability to coordinate workplace learning opportunities such as on-the-job learning, coaching, mentoring and e-learning, and to plan and manage resources and timelines for learning activities.
This assessment will confirm your understanding of how to create an environment that supports ongoing learning, including providing opportunities for self-evaluation, feedback and reflection on performance, and using facilitation techniques to support team learning and improvement. You will be required to show how you monitor the implementation of learning plans, track progress towards development goals, and gather and use feedback from individuals and teams to adjust and improve learning arrangements.
You will also be assessed on how you document and follow through on learning and development outcomes, including assessing and recording the results of learning activities for individuals and teams, and maintaining learning and development records and reports in line with organisational requirements. The assessment will explore your ability to use this information to identify further development needs and ongoing support required for the workgroup, ensuring that learning and development remains an ongoing, responsive process rather than a one-off event.
By successfully completing this course assessment, you will have demonstrated that you can interpret and apply the core requirements of supporting the learning and development of a workgroup, including linking development needs to organisational goals, planning and coordinating learning activities, facilitating feedback and reflection, monitoring progress, and maintaining accurate development records—confirming your readiness to play an active role in building and sustaining team capability within your organisation.
