Learning, teaching, and assessment structure
The Learning, Teaching, and Assessment structure defines the framework for delivery and trainee achievement of the curricula standards in the Basic Training programs.
New Basic Training programs: Learning, Teaching, and Assessment structure
The Basic Training program is structured in three phases:
Foundation
- Orient trainees and confirm their readiness to progress in the Basic Training program.
Consolidation
- Support trainees’ professional development in the workplace.
Completion
- Confirm trainees’ achievement of the curriculum standards and completion of Basic Training.
- Support trainees’ transition to Advanced Training.
- A selection decision is made before entry into the program.
- A progress decision is made at the end of each phase of training.
- A completion decision is made at the end of the training program, resulting in a completion certificate.
Basic Training is a hybrid time- and competency-based training program. There is a minimum time requirement of three years full-time equivalent clinical experience. Progress and completion decisions are based on evidence of trainees’ competence.
The Basic Training program may be started in post-graduate year (PGY) 2 at the earliest, though local factors may mean that the program is started later in some areas of Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand.
