Professional Development

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need to complete this form?
Clauses 1.13 - 1.16 of the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2015 require us to make sure that you have current industry skills as well as current vocational training and learning experience. This means each year we need to record what you've done so that we have evidence of your recent industry experience.

What counts as industry experience?
Because you are a TESOL Trainer, industry experience is English as a Second Language (ESL), English as an Additional Language (EAL), English as a Foreign Language (EFL), English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), etc. teaching experience.
It does not include delivering the TESOL course.

What is professional development in the VET sector?
Professional development in the VET sector is different to industry experience. Because the TESOL Courses are Australian Government Accredited Courses, ASQA requires that all Trainers have current knowledge and skills about the Australian Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector. This means doing things like:

university studies
VET level studies (e.g. Completing TAE upgrade)
workshop focused on adult education
completion of individual units of competency (e.g. LLN unit)
