What is supervised training?
The Industrial Relations Act 1999 defines “supervised training” as all training, up to the maximum period required to be delivered by a supervising registered training organisation during the apprenticeship or traineeship. Each apprenticeship and traineeship is linked to an approved qualification. Supervised training, for the approved qualification can be undertaken by any means. It could be by block release, workplace delivery, on line learning, video link and completing workbooks or correspondence papers or any other method. It can be undertaken by an apprentice or trainee at a college, at work, at home or another venue. It can be supervised by a trainer from the supervising registered training organisation, or by the employer acting on behalf of the training organisation. The employer have to pay wages for “off the job” training.
