KM-04: Facilitation of Learning in an Occupational Context
This knowledge module introduces learners to the principles and practices of facilitating learning within occupational and workplace environments. The module focuses on adult learning principles, facilitation methods, learner engagement strategies, and learner support practices used in occupational training contexts. Learners will develop an understanding of how to prepare, deliver, and manage learning interventions that support workplace competence and skills development. The module also explores communication techniques, facilitation approaches, and strategies for creating inclusive and effective learning environments. By the end of the module, learners will understand how facilitation supports learner development, workplace performance, and occupational competence.

WM-05: Facilitate a Work Based Learning and Development Process
This work experience module provides learners with the opportunity to apply workplace learning and development practices within real occupational environments under the guidance of subject matter experts. Learners will participate in the implementation of work-based learning interventions, coaching sessions, workplace guidance activities, and learner development processes aligned with organisational requirements. The module focuses on workplace implementation planning, operational alignment, learner support, and practical workplace coaching experiences. Learners will also compile workplace evidence portfolios and participate in reflective workplace learning activities that support occupational competence development. Through structured workplace exposure, learners will strengthen their ability to facilitate and support work-based learning interventions within real organisational contexts.

Lesson Outcomes

After completing this lesson, learners will be able to:

  • Develop an experiential work-based learning plan.
  • Identify workplace learning opportunities.
  • Align learning activities with operational requirements.
  • Develop implementation schedules for workplace learning interventions.
  • Identify workplace learning resources and support systems.
  • Apply workplace coordination practices during learning implementation.
  • Support experiential learning interventions within occupational environments.

Overview

Experiential work-based learning involves structured workplace learning activities that allow learners to gain practical experience and occupational competence within real work environments.

Planning workplace learning interventions requires:

  • identifying learning needs,
  • developing learning objectives,
  • coordinating workplace learning opportunities,
  • and preparing implementation schedules.

Facilitators and workplace learning practitioners must ensure that workplace learning interventions support:

  • learner development,
  • organisational goals,
  • operational requirements,
  • and workplace competence development.

Effective planning improves workplace learning quality, learner participation, and operational coordination.


PA0101 — Develop an Experiential Work-Based Learning Plan and Implementation Schedule

Experiential work-based learning plans organise workplace learning activities and implementation processes.

The workplace learning plan should include:

Planning Component Purpose
Learning objectives Defines expected learning outcomes
Workplace activities Identifies practical learning opportunities
Learning schedule Organises implementation timelines
Support systems Identifies learner support resources
Evaluation activities Tracks learner progression

Workplace Learning Planning Activities

Planning activities may include:

  • identifying skills gaps,
  • conducting workplace needs analysis,
  • selecting workplace learning activities,
  • coordinating mentors and supervisors,
  • and scheduling learning interventions.

Experiential Learning Objectives

Workplace learning objectives should support:

  • workplace competence,
  • problem-solving,
  • collaboration,
  • and occupational performance improvement.

PA0102 — Align Workplace Learning Activities with Operational Requirements

Workplace learning activities should align with operational and production requirements.

Facilitators should consider:

  • production schedules,
  • operational priorities,
  • workplace safety,
  • staff availability,
  • and workplace resources.

Learning activities should support operational effectiveness without disrupting workplace productivity.


Workplace Alignment Activities

Activity Purpose
Operational coordination Supports workplace scheduling
Resource allocation Ensures availability of materials
Supervisor involvement Supports learner guidance
Workplace monitoring Tracks implementation progress

Workplace Learning Opportunities

Examples include:

  • project-based assignments,
  • job-shadowing,
  • coaching activities,
  • mentorship programmes,
  • and practical workplace tasks.

PA0103 — Prepare Workplace Learning Resources and Support Systems

Workplace learning interventions require suitable resources and learner support systems.


Workplace Learning Resources

Examples of resources include:

  • workplace documentation,
  • operational equipment,
  • training materials,
  • project templates,
  • PPE,
  • and workplace mentors.

Support Systems

Support systems may include:

  • mentors,
  • workplace supervisors,
  • coaches,
  • programme coordinators,
  • and technical support personnel.

Support systems help learners participate effectively during workplace learning interventions.


Key Notes / Summary

  • Experiential work-based learning supports occupational competence development.
  • Workplace learning plans organise learning objectives, schedules, and workplace activities.
  • Learning activities should align with operational and production requirements.
  • Workplace learning interventions require suitable resources and support systems.
  • Coordination between facilitators, supervisors, and mentors supports workplace learning quality.
  • Structured implementation schedules improve workplace learning effectiveness.
