  • getting the trainee to demonstrate the task and watching how they do it.
  • when the trainee has finished the task, talking to them about what you observed – giving them constructive feedback and making sure you identify areas where they did well (feedback).
  • Once you have completed each coaching session you must:
  • watch the trainee do this task at least two more times.
  • give them some help if you see they are having difficulties.
  • report their progress to your supervisor (workplace-based students) or your assessor (classroom-based students).
  • Classroom based students will be observed completing each coaching session during class time, in a simulated workplace environment.
  • If you are completing your coaching sessions in a real workplace, your assessor will visit you in the workplace or you may provide video recorded footage of each of your coaching sessions. Discuss these options with your assessor, including appropriate recording devices and method of submission (USB, email etc.)

During each coaching session your assessor will be looking to see that you:

§  explain the purpose for coaching
