The Workplace Learning Services (WLS) Unit operates on a state-wide basis, providing customised, flexible and collaborative training and assessment solutions for a wide range of Tasmanian enterprises. We aim to improve the work performance of your employees, support your workforce development strategies and assist you to achieve your business and compliance goals.

All our training and assessment activities are conducted in the workplace. To ensure maximum efficiency, we tailor our services to match your specific enterprise requirements and production cycles.

Training Packages are used to achieve formal nationally recognised outcomes but the training and assessment process always starts from the jobs of your employees. Work processes and operations are analysed and standard operating procedures are either developed, or existing procedures are used to support a training and assessment framework.

Our aim is to integrate training and assessment into the regular work cycles of your enterprise in order to avoid interruption to your production. This means we very quickly become familiar with, and work efficiently around, complex shift patterns, rosters, production cycles and compliance regulations.

The WLS Unit uses a collaborative team approach to assessment and training, with technical expertise provided by employees of your enterprise. The WLS Unit has developed detailed procedures to be used by the assessment and training team. These ensure:

• things happen the way you want them to
• your employees clearly know what their involvement is and how the process works
• relevant evidence of competent workplace performance is efficiently collected
• the process is quality-assured and compliant with national standards i.e. the Australian Quality Training Framework 2007

• Training and assessment systems
• Safety Management systems
• Competency based position descriptions
• Procedural development � Standard Operating Procedures, Safe Work Instructions
• Induction processes and resources
• Regulatory and industry compliance requirements
