  • Evaluate the provider's current systems for the management of learning,
  • Plan development of learning programmes and learning provision,
  • Contribute to and promote ETD policies and quality assurance procedures within the organisation,
  • Support the ETD team, and

    LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING 
    The credits have been calculated on the assumption that the average learner will already be familiar with quality management processes, and have achieved the unit standard:
