• Insight Institute of Further Studies (IIFS) is required to develop and implement approaches— including by providing access to suitable resources, facilities and trainers—that ensure learners gain all relevant skills and knowledge.
• The AQF provides a guide to the volume of learning (see table below), which describes how long a learner who does not hold any of the competencies identified in the relevant units of competency or modules would take to develop all the required skills and knowledge. The volume of learning includes all teaching and learning activities such as guided learning (classes, lectures, tutorials, online or self-paced study), individual study, research, learning activities in the workplace and assessment activities.
• The amount of training provided by IIFS is part of the overall volume of learning and relates primarily to formal activities including classes and other activities as well as workplace learning. IIFS is required to comply with the AQF in applying the volume of learning to all courses on its scope of registration. IIFS must therefore develop and implement strategies for training and assessment that are consistent with the AQF.
• IIFS will provide equitable access to all required educational and support services, so that no learner is disadvantaged regardless of their mode of study or location.
• IIFS will provide learners with access to necessary resources, either by owning, leasing, or renting these resources, or by arranging for resources to be accessible to the learners in another way.
• Training packages and VET accredited courses describe the requirements for assessment of learners, including any specific environments or equipment that must be used.
• IIFS’s Assessment methods will ensure that only properly skilled learners are determined as competent. When conducting assessment, IIFS Assessors adhere to all requirements such as the context of assessment and essential resources, as described in the unit or module.
• IIFS will ensure that when using ‘simulated’ workplace environments, they fully replicate the resources, environment and any time and productivity pressures that exist in the actual workplace.
• IIFS will ensure the development and use of simulated environments is informed by consultation with industry stakeholders to ensure relevance to real workplaces.

• IIFS will, at all times, have all resources available to deliver every training product on your its scope of registration. These resources must comply with any specific requirements in the training package or accredited course. The training and assessment strategies will include guidance on the level of resources needed per learner or per group.
• Different strategies will be developed for different delivery models or target groups.
• The training and assessment strategy is not ‘static’. It will be regularly updated to take into account changes in industry technology and techniques, legislation, and the training package itself, as well as the availability of resources within IIFS.
