Careerforce Training Agreement
There is a new Training Agreement available on our website. This Training Agreement
has a space in section K. Training Programme where the assessor can be specified. We
do occasionally make changes to this form, so please remind your workplaces to always
use the latest version of the Training Agreement when enrolling staff. See the form
here.
REAL assessor training workshops - October
These REAL assessor workshops will help you build on your knowledge and skills in
assessment. Use the Careerforce REAL model for respectful, efficient, applied and
living training and assessment. Observers are very welcome to attend these
workshops as well. More information about REAL Observers can be found here.
What past attendees have said
“Our trainees ask us why they have to repeat
work that they have already done in their
Orientation and other competencies. This way
they won’t have to.”
