Trainer Guide - Australian Flexible Learning Toolbox

16/03/2010 

Tourism, Hospitality and Events Training Package SIT07 Series 11 Flexible Learning Toolbox. Supporting resources for: Diploma of Events SIT50207 Advanced Diploma of Events SIT60207. This trainer guide will assist teachers and trainers who want to use the Toolbox either in its complete form, or as a source of learning components in the development of their own teaching programs. The trainer guide’s purpose is to show how the Toolbox resources can be effectively used to assist in the delivery of a coherent program and includes assessment strategies. It is written in a non-prescriptive way, assuming that the trainers will want to select aspects of the Toolbox, substitute others and customise for their own audience including learners with language, literacy and numeracy needs. The Events Alive Toolbox supports SIT50207 Diploma of Events and SIT60207 Advanced Diploma of Events from the Tourism, Hospitality and Events Training Package SIT07. The Toolbox provides learning objects to support four Units of competency. Three of the units chosen are new units developed for this Training Package endorsed in December 2007.

The four Units of competency are:

- SITXEVT010A Evaluate and address event regulatory requirements

- SITXEVT012A Select event venues and sites

- SITXOHS003A Identify hazards and assess and control safety risks

- SITXHRM004A Manage volunteers.
