Traineeships/Apprenticeships

Calibre will ensure that where students are participating in Traineeships/Apprenticeships, that the employer is engaged in the training and assessment processes of students from its workplace.

Calibre will work with the employer, Trainee/Apprentice (parent/school if applicable) to:

A student is entitled to 2 User Choice qualifications during the period of their working life.  The second qualification undertaken cannot be of a lower priority than the first.  Eligibility for access to the User choice Program is undertaken on your behalf prior to enrolment by Calibre Training and Development and your selected AASN. (Australian Apprenticeships Support Network).

Enrolment Types

As previously mentioned, Calibre is registered as a Pre-qualified Supplier with the Department of Employment, Small Business and Training (Queensland Government) to offer subsidised training from the State VET Investment Plan.

As a Pre-qualified Supplier, Calibre is able to offer training under the Certificate 3 Guarantee program and User Choice (Apprenticeships/Traineeships) at subsidised fees.

When making the decision to accept government funded training, please take into consideration the implications of accepting a funded place and how this may affect your future plans and decisions, this will be explained to you by Calibre at time of enrolment.  Under Certificate 3 Guarantee program, you can only receive funding towards your FIRST post-school qualification.

Should you not be eligible to access government subsidised training, or the training of your choice is not funded, the program may be charged at a Fee for Service rate, meaning the cost of the training may be higher than the subsidised programs.

For further information on these programs and eligibility please refer to the Department of Education Small Business and Training website https://desbt.qld.gov.au/training/providers/funded.

Fees and Charges

Calibre fees and charges are applicable to the type of enrolment, for example:

  • Certificate 3 Guarantee fees are subsidised, student contribution fees are advertised on our website and are payable at point of enrolment.
  • User Choice (Apprenticeship/Traineeships) fees are subsidised, student contribution fees are calculated based on the enrolled unit of competency nominal hours by the scheduled $1.60 per nominal hour fee as set by the Queensland Government. These fees may be paid by the student or a third party such as an employer, and generally are paid at point of enrolment.
  • Fee for Service fees are not subsidised, and generally are paid at point of enrolment or otherwise negotiated.

Calibre collects fees in advance of the training and assessment being conducted, to ensure the protection of fees paid in advance, Calibre will accept payment of no more than $1500 from an individual learner prior to the commencement of the course.  Should the cost of training exceed $1500, a payment schedule will be prepared and provided to the student.

Unless otherwise specified, course fees include the cost of all compulsory training and assessment materials.  No additional charges will be necessary.

Assessment

As a provider of vocational training and education programs, Calibre provides competency based assessment.  Competency is defined by the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) 2015 as: “consistent application of knowledge and skill to the standard of performance required in the workplace.  It embodies the ability to transfer and apply skills and knowledge to new situations and environments”.

This means that students are assessed against industry determined competency standards that are set out in the related training package or accredited course.  These competency standards (known as “units of competency”) describe the discrete work tasks and knowledge, as well as the technical and employability skills that a person needs to perform a task effectively in the workplace.

Competency is assessed by comparing the prescribed units of competency with the student’s evidence of performance and their ability to apply their skills and knowledge in a range of situations and environments.

A qualified Trainer and Assessor is a person who is recognised by Calibre Training and Development as meeting the national standards for assessment and training delivery as identified by ASQA.  Calibre’s Trainers/Assessors are able to conduct assessment only in areas which they have relevant vocational competencies and training qualifications.  They must also be competent in the training and assessment competencies to the national standards required.  The assessment process your Trainer/Assessor uses must conform to the following principles:

Validity

Valid assessment actually assesses the competency it is meant to assess. A valid assessment of a particular unit will assess performance criteria that are part of that unit. Evidence is collected from activities and tasks that clearly relate to the Unit of Competency.

  • Evidence demonstrates that all the performance criterion have been met.
  • Evidence is sufficient.

Reliability

Reliable assessment produces the same judgment about a person’s competency when the assessment is completed by another assessor.

  • Assessment practices should be monitored and reviewed to ensure that there is consistency in the interpretation of the evidence.
  • Assessors must be competent in the National Workplace Assessor Competency Standards.

Fairness

Assessment is fair if it does not disadvantage any applicant in relation to another.

  • Assessment practices and methods must be equitable to all groups of applicants.
  • Assessment processes and criteria for determining performance must be made clear to all applicants seeking assessment.
  • Applicants must be provided with opportunity to challenge the assessment.

Flexibility

Flexible assessment remains valid, reliable and fair while dealing with:

  • The way the competency was developed or acquired through a formal training course or through on-thejob experience.
  • Any disability that the applicant might have, e.g. hearing impairment or reading difficulties.
  • The equipment used to demonstrate competence, e.g. the familiarity of the equipment to the Participant.
  • Different periods over which the assessment might be done; e.g. the need to apply the entire assessment at one time or parts of the assessment as a person learns. This would most likely result in the Participant being assessed in individual learning outcomes or the elements that make up the competency.

Calibre ensures that only students who hold the requisite skills and knowledge as set out in the unit of competency are marked as Competent.  Calibre does this by:

  • Ensuring that its assessment tasks meet the requirements of the training package or accredited course
  • Ensuring its assessment processes are valid, fair, flexible and reliable
  • Ensuring assessment processes are carried out in a way that is consistent with the Qualification Delivery and Assessment Strategy (QDAS) documented during course development and regularly updated
  • Providing comprehensive Assessments and supportive documentation with clear information to trainers and assessors
  • Continually reviewing and improving assessment processes, tools and records
  • Having a planned schedule of validation activities that ensures effective validation are achieved
  • Ensuring that assessors follow the rules of evidence and sight current, sufficient, authentic and valid evidence when forming their assessment decision

Assessments are broken up generally into a range of methods including written questions, practical demonstration (observation by Trainer/Assessor) and /or oral presentation.  All components of the assessment are to be completed and assessed by the Trainer/Assessor prior to competency being achieved.

Your Trainer will communicate to you when and how assessments will be conducted and are due.  You will be given three opportunities to resubmit your work, prior to being deemed Not Competent.  Following this you would be required to reenrol and pay fees for that particular unit of competency again.

Reasonable Adjustment

When necessary, assessors will make reasonable adjustments to training and assessment processes to ensure that all people are treated equally in the assessment process and that no person is disadvantaged due to a disability.

Assessment processes may be reasonably adjusted to accommodate the following, but not limited to these, groups:

  • Students with English as a second language
  • Students with literacy or numeracy difficulties
  • Indigenous students
  • Students with sensory impairments
  • Students with physical or intellectual disabilities

Reasonable adjustment may mean:

  • Making training resources and methods accessible
  • Adapting physical facilities, environment and /or equipment
  • Making changes to the assessment arrangements
  • Making changes to the way evidence for assessment is gathered.

Recognition

Calibre accepts and provides credit to learners for units of competency and/or modules (unless licensing or regulatory requirements prevent this) where these are evidenced by:

  • AQF certification documentation issued by any other RTO or AQF authorised issuing organisation, or
  • authenticated VET transcripts issued by the Registrar (in the form of an USI Transcript)

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

Recognition of prior learning is an assessment process that involves assessment of an individual’s relevant prior learning (including formal, informal and non-formal learning) to determine the credit outcomes of an individual application for credit.

Credit Transfer (CT)

Credit transfer is a process that provides students with agreed and consistent credit outcomes for components of a qualification based on identified equivalence in content and learning outcomes between matched qualifications.

Recognition of Current Competency (RCC)

Recognition of current competency applies if a client has previously successfully completed the requirements for a unit of competency or module and is now required, (e.g. by a licensing authority) to be reassessed to ensure that the competence is being maintained. In this case no extra skill or competencies are nationally recognised.

Plagiarism, Cheating and Collusion

Students are required to sign on their assessments, a declaration of the authenticity of the assessment tasks being submitted.  All work submitted as evidence must be entirely the student’s own.  Students who are caught plagiarising, cheating or colluding in their assessments, will be subject to resubmitting their assessments and may result in disciplinary action.

All staff have an obligation to identify and investigate any possibility of plagiarism, cheating or collusion.

Issuance of Qualifications

At the successful completion of a full qualification, Calibre will issue students with their Certificate and Statement of Results within a period of 30 days from the date that the final assessment was assessed.  Before certification is issued, Calibre will verify competency has been properly assessed and all tasks have been completed.  Generally students will be posted their Certificate unless otherwise negotiated.

If a student completes less than the full qualification or a short course, Calibre will issue a Statement of Attainment detailing the units of competency successfully completed and assessed.

Surveys

At the completion or periodically throughout your training you may be contacted to participate in a survey conducted by Calibre.

Additionally, if you are undertaking training under the Certificate 3 Guarantee Program, you will be contacted within three months of completion/withdrawal of your program to undertake a Student Training and Employment Survey.  These findings will be shared with the State Government Department of Employment, Small Business and Training.

Additionally, at time to time, you may be contacted by ASQA the national training regulator to participate in a student survey.

The findings of surveys may be shared with Commonwealth and State/Territory Government departments and authorised agencies and NCVER, which will be used for statistical, administrative, regulatory and research purposes.

Legislation

As a requirement of the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2015, Calibre Training and Development must ensure it stays up to date with all relevant legislation administrated by state and federal government bodies.    The legislation that particularly affects the delivery of our training and assessment services at present include but are not limited to:
