What is the VET Training and Assessment Summit 2020?
Lecture-based training is tedious, disengaging and unproductive; but participant-centred and work-based learning models can turn VET training into an innovative experience, where students can develop relevant skills and have fun in the process.
The VET Training and Assessment Summit is the only conference in Australia that focuses on the foundational elements that every trainer and VET professional should comprehend: Instructional Design - Training Delivery - Competency-Assessment - Learning technologies
