A professional development program
Dr. Russell Docking - Skill Resource Management Systems Pty Ltd
Background
Innovation and Business Skills Australia (IBSA) in conjunction with Skill Resource Management Systems Pty Ltd is offering competency-based assessment systems workshops nationally. Competency-based assessment (CBA) continues to be one of the most misunderstood components of VET. This is reflected in high levels of AQTF non-compliance, yet it is upon high quality assessment that the credibility of VET certification rests.
Facilitator
Dr Russell Docking has been conducting workshops on competency-based
training and assessment throughout Australia since 1990 including two
acclaimed series for IBSA in 2010. He has contributed to the ongoing
development of competency-based strategies through commissioned
research, workshops, conferences, review and evaluation projects, and
journal publications. Russell has also prepared a number of texts for
the WA Department of Training and Workforce Development on
competency-based assessment, assessment validation, and reasonable
adjustment in assessment for students with disability.
Russell keeps in close touch with practitioner needs and concerns
through his work as an RTO auditor and as an accreditation reviewer for
the WA Training Accreditation Council.
Audience
For all trainers and assessors who are looking to improve and validate their knowledge and skills in using CBA in a VET context.

Workshops are run on a cost recovery basis. Contact the IBSA Events Team for your quote.
