Structured training as part of learning and development
Structured training describes a designed and time-limited program of learning to meet specific learning objectives. It is only ever one element of an integrated learning and development approach and needs to be supported by opportunities to apply the learning on the job. Understanding what you can expect from structured training and how to reinforce it with other elements of your learning and development program, increases the likelihood that it will achieve your objectives.
This section describes some of the different options available, when they are likely to be most useful, and what else organisations need to put in place to get the most from this kind of training investment.
The following scenarios illustrate how structured training fits into a larger learning and development solution.
The scenarios also provide examples of how a provider is able to meet elements of the NDIS Practice Standards for example Risk Management, Human Resource Management and Support Planning if the appropriate records are kept and documentation is provided as part of the audit process.
