Time in learning refers to the amount of time a learner cohort typically requires to absorb the necessary knowledge and progressively develop skills across a range of real or simulated workplace contexts. This process recognises that skill development takes time and occurs through repeated practice and varied experiences.
It is important to note that time in learning is not a one-size-fits-all measure. Training duration should be flexible and responsive to individual learner needs, taking into account their prior experience, existing competencies, and learning pace.
However, this flexibility does not override the specific requirements outlined in the relevant unit(s) of competency, including mandated timeframes, required repetition, or volume/quantity of tasks. These requirements must still be met to ensure compliance and consistency with national training standards.
