DELIVERY METHOD

This module is delivered through a blended learning approach, combining online studies and face-to-face sessions.

The online component focuses on the role and responsibilities of a trainer and assessor in the learning process. Using a gamified approach, the exercises used are based on real life scenarios from the training environment.

The face-to-face sessions focus on putting into practice the knowledge learners acquired during the online studies. Throughout the program, a consistent crosscutting focus is maintained on a learner-centred approach and the quality assurance of training and assessment processes.

ASSESSMENT STRATEGY

The assessment strategy is based on two assessments conducted during the face-to-face part and at the end of the module.

The first assessment is simulation-based to assess learners’ training delivery skills and the second is a multiple-choice assessment designed to assess learners’ competences on assessment and verification in relation to the learning outcomes of the module.
