Introduction
What are you hoping to achieve?
Volunteers come from a very wide range of backgrounds and experience. It could
be that you are already very experienced in this work or new to it. This guide is
designed to support you in doing one or both of the following:
·
learning more about these duties
·
gaining some formal recognition for the learning that has resulted from
your volunteer work.
Gaining formal qualifications for your volunteer work
This Learning Guide is not a set of instructions to be followed or a formal course
of study. This means that learners who use the guide should not expect to
automatically receive a formal award. However, the content of this Learning
Guide is based on a unit of competency that is recognised by the Australian
National Training System. This means that if you are able to prove that you can
do the things described in this Learning Guide, you may be able to have this
formally recognised and be issued with a nationally recognised Statement of
Attainment.
Of course, you may not be interested in gaining any formal recognition for your
work as a volunteer, however, there could be some advantages, for example when
you are applying for paid work.
This unit is also part of several qualifications in the national training system. If
you enrol in a qualification that includes this unit you will be given credit for it,
which means that you will not have to do it again. If you would like to get a
nationally recognised Statement of Attainment for your volunteer work you
could follow the process in the following flowchart.
