Learner Needs Analysis Procedure - EST

To meet our regulatory requirements under Clause 1.7 of the RTO Standards, we must determine a student’s support needs and provide access to appropriate services to enable the student to meet the requirements of their course.

In courses delivered in the EST program, this is achieved by the students completing the Learner Needs Analysis assessment on Cloud Assess. The trainer then reviews this information and a support framework is determined.

Steps:

• The Course Coordinator or other person enrols the student in the course. The Learner Needs Analysis is automatically added as an assessment when students are enrolled in the Induction

• The trainer releases the Learner Needs Analysis assessment to the student during induction

• Student completes the assessment without assistance from trainers, except to clarify/re-word questions where required

• Trainer marks assessment as per the Marking Guide included on Cloud Assess:

  • If the student gets 1 or no questions correct in the literacy/language and/or numeracy support section:

    • Discuss with the student and determine whether support is already being provided to meet these needs. If so, select “The student requires further LLN and/or other support from Strategix or an LLN provider” and record a note in the Trainer Feedback section, e.g. Discussed with student and they confirmed they are currently receiving literacy/numeracy support from…

    • If the student is not already receiving additional support, select “The student requires further LLN and/or other support from Strategix or an LLN provider” and record a note in the Trainer Feedback section, e.g. After a discussion with the student, and based on the requirements of the course, it was determined that the student will be able to continue with the course with additional in-class support provided by the trainer such as mentoring in numeracy/literacy concepts.

  • If the student gets 2-3 questions correct in the literacy/language and/or numeracy support section and the additional support needs are manageable, select “The student requires reasonable adjustments to the training and assessment process”

  • If the student gets 4-5 questions correct in the literacy/language and/or numeracy support section and the additional support needs are manageable, select “The student does not require any further assistance in the course at this stage”.

• Trainer outcomes the assessment as “Satisfactory”. A “Not Satisfactory” outcome is only used when it is determined that the support required for the student to complete the course cannot be provided by external parties or Strategix.
