The programme prepares TAE professionals to:
The WSQ ACTA equipped TAE professionals with a strong grounding in pedagogical training and competencies to facilitate training and assess learning competencies. The ACTA aimed to raise the quality of trainers and assessors offering WSQ accredited programmes.
The ACLP will include new components such as learning solutions and workplace learning facilitation which are additional areas of focus besides classroom training and assessment. The ACLP will equip TAE professionals with the current skills in demand and this will now be extended to non-WSQ training providers under the new qualification requirements.
ACLP learners have a choice to complete either E1 or E2 to attain the full ACLP qualification in order to meet SSG’s Qualifications Requirements for Trainers and Assessors, in view that SSG now supports both WSQ and non-WSQ certifiable programmes.
Learners of both elective modules will be familiarised with WSQ’s Competency-Based Assessment approaches and techniques as well as Workplace Learning assessment approaches and techniques at varying level of details.
The general recommendation is for learners operating in a WSQ learning context to consider completing Elective 1 and those operating in non-WSQ learning contexts to consider completing Elective 2.
There are no requirements on the workplace industry, revenue or employment size.Key considerations include whether ACLP learner is able to:
a. Gain access to your relevant stakeholders:
i. At least 1 workplace “learner” to conduct workplace learning delivery.
ii. At least 1 or more management rep as “subject matter expert(s)” to gather performance requirements of workplace “learner”.
b. Conduct a 30-min workplace learning delivery and a 30-min coaching at the work site of workplace “learner” for Module 4.
c. Gather feedback and inputs on the effectiveness of workplace learning design and delivery from the stakeholders.
d. Conduct a trial of the learning solution prototype at a suitable workplace and gather data on the positive benefits for Module 5.
There could potentially be security-related and operational constrains that make it challenging to complete all the ACLP assessment activities in a workplace. In such cases, ACLP learner can consider the case-study option.
Inform ACLP facilitator at the earliest for advice on how ACLP learner can fulfil outstanding assessment requirements (E.g. Using the IAL case study scenario).
While the case studies are designed to simulate the complexities of actual work, there is much additional learning that is most effectively gained from applying ACLP skills and knowledge in the workplace. These include uncovering and addressing different workplace stakeholder learning needs and getting buy-in for change.
