lower levels are met. Thus, a learning objective indicates the specific knowledge, skills, and abilities a person with a given certification is expected to possess as the result of a learning process. Learning objectives are key elements in the assessment strategy and in the assessment of participants’ performance and development. Every learning objective is met through activities, that address relevant learning points (e.g. how to don a harness includes different learning points, such as checking the harness durability and tightening straps sufficiently). The ability of a learner to take the skills and knowledge from training and apply them in the reality of their work. By focussing on creating fidelity in the training environment, the transfer of knowledge, skills, and abilities from the training situation to the actual work reality is facilitated. Furthermore, fidelity will support the connection between the work environment to the training environment and by that support the creation of a relevant and safe learning space. Motivation is an internal state that activates, guides, and sustains behaviour. It impacts the speed and efficiency of the learning process. Individuals who are motivated persevere longer, produce higher quality effort, learn more deeply, and perform better in training activities and work situations. The more heart-felt and intrinsic the motivation, the greater the impact and driving force to learn. The instructor must always support and facilitate the development of the participants’ motivation and their driving force to learn.

Observe
We use observe in the broad sense of, to examine. To observe is to actively acquire information from a primary source. Observation employs the senses and enables transfer of knowledge. Observing how a technique is being performed or how another participant is practising a skill, helps the participants familiarise themselves with new knowledge or skills and gain confidence to repeat the learning activity. Observing also facilitates the instructor’s assessment of the participant’s development and their progression towards the aims and learning objectives of the training. Questions are posed with several different intentions. Questions may be considered as either seeking backward to investigate the level of understanding or being future oriented, where answers emerge through reflections. The complexity of question types and responses are closely related to the GWO Taxonomy levels.

Reflection is an important part of the learning process and must be facilitated in all learning activities. Participants develop experiences by reflecting their doings, and they develop a
