About SITTGDE018 Develop and maintain the general and regional knowledge required by guides

It requires broad general knowledge of Australia plus regional and location-specific knowledge, and highlights ongoing research as a key professional development activity for guides who work independently or with limited guidance.

To deliver this unit in line with the Standards for RTOs and meet ASQA expectations, your SITTGDE018 resources need to address:

  • Elements and Performance Criteria: The outcomes for researching information on Australia and the local region, preparing information for guiding activities and updating general knowledge.
  • Foundation Skills: The language, literacy, numeracy, and digital skills needed to research and interpret information, organise ideas logically for presentation and determine what is relevant to each guiding context.
  • Performance Evidence: Evidence of researching and developing three presentations that cover a broad range of information, use credible sources, relate to different subject areas, incorporate interpretive themes and organise information logically.
  • Knowledge Evidence: Knowledge of the role of interpretation, common information sources, aspects of Australia and the local region such as history, culture, environment, economy, food, sport and tourism services, and methods for organising information.

Understanding the structure of SITTGDE018 helps RTOs set research tasks that reflect each learner’s region. RTO learning materials that build in research habits also support guides’ long-term professional development.

What licence applies to the SITTGDE018 RTO resources?

The licence allows the purchasing RTO to use the materials with unlimited learners. The files should not be resold or distributed outside your organisation.

Have had a very positive experience with this RTO resource company. In particular, Anthony himself was very professional while also personable, and he was very adept at answering my questions and providing samples of the product. The purchasing process was a little slow in comparison, but one progress enquiry to Andrew and the resources were sent through the same day. The only reason I have not given 5 stars is their practice of offering inducements for reviews; a 25-dollar Westfield voucher bribe was unnecessary to get me to leave a review. It may be a harsh reason for omitting a star, but in order to be perfect you must be.... well, perfect.

I think the resources from Compliant Learning are excellent. The assessments address the assessment requirements and criteria. They are easy to read and customise and have easy to follow instructions. The learning material is comprehensive, but to the point. I have used Compliant Learning resources for Business, Community Services, Financial Services and Travel. I find the customer service excellent and the response time to emails is practically immediate. I have very good relationship with the team, especially Anthony, who is very supportive. We will continue to purchase the resources, as they are high quality, reasonably priced and the customer service is friendly and efficient
