EDTAS1205 VET Teaching and Assessment Practice
The course provides students with the skills, knowledge and values to work in teaching and assessment in the VET sector. Students develop an introductory understanding of learning and curriculum theories as they apply to everyday teaching and training practice. They learn how to balance fairness with the maintenance of confidence among all stakeholders in teaching and assessment outcomes. The course will develops skills in considering language, literacy and numeracy (LLN) in VET teaching and assessment, utilising the Australian Core Skills Framework to assist with diagnosing the LLN needs of the teaching and assessment situation and of learners, and of adapting materials appropriately and/or referring learners for assistance. The course will also provide students with some knowledge in teaching and assessment methods to cater for learner diversity in the VET context. The course includes a period of teaching and assessment practice in VET contexts, which includes time under direct supervision, time observing other teachers, and time spent in other strategies such as developing teaching and assessment strategies, attending teacher meetings, and liaising with learners. Students identify their development needs and develop a plan to address them. The course covers content relating to three units of competency from the Diploma of Vocational Education and Training: TAEDEL502 Provide Advanced Facilitation Practice, TAEASS501 Provide Advanced Assessment Practice, and TAELLN411 Address Adult Language, Literacy and Numeracy Skills.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $578
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $578
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
