• at least two consecutive sessions, of a duration commensurate with a substantive training session (e.g. 40-60 minutes), that follow one of the learning program designs
• at least one session delivered to a different learner group, with evidence of how the characteristics and needs of this group were addressed
• identify and respond to diversity and individual needs
• access and use documented resources and support personnel to guide inclusive practices.

 
2. Method and context assessment

Evidence must be gathered in the workplace wherever possible. Where no workplace is available, a simulated workplace must be provided.
Assessment must ensure access to:


• training products, such as training packages and accredited course documentation.
