Overview

This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to assist in the provision of on-the-job training to others while undertaking normal duties and it may involve the replacement of normal duties with training duties for limited periods of time. The individual would not be expected to be solely responsible for the assessment or reporting of a trainee's progress.

Typical applications could include the provision of on-the-job training by a tradesperson to apprentices/trainees or by a production worker to other production workers/trainees.
