development and
endorsement process
All training packages must be designed and developed to
comply with the Australian Governments Standards for Training
Packages and accompanying policies, which were approved by
Commonwealth and State/Territory ministers in 2012.
More information about training package standards and policies

is available on the Department of Education and Training website:
https://docs.education.gov.au/documents/training-package-
development-and-endorsement-process-policy
Training packages are developed to meet the training needs of

specific industries and sectors. They differ from other education
and training courses in that they must be created with industry
involvement and extensive national consultation. They are
regularly reviewed through a continuous improvement cycle, and
updated to ensure they remain current and relevant. The following

Who can deliver and
assess a qualification?
For the purpose of national recognition, delivery and assessment
must be conducted by an RTO with the qualifications or specific
units of competency on its scope of registration.
All RTOs must comply with the requirements set out in applicable
national frameworks and standards. The current registering
bodies, frameworks and standards, and which type of RTO they
apply to, are shown in the table on the following page. Users of
this Implementation Guide are advised to check the applicable
standards for their particular circumstances.
More information about national standards and standards for

non-referring states can be found at:
https://education.gov.au/standards-non-referring-states-

RTOs must make sure that training and assessment complies

with the relevant standards. This includes ensuring that training
delivery and assessment is conducted by those who:
have the necessary training and assessment competencies

have the relevant vocational competencies at least to the level
being delivered or assessed
can demonstrate current industry skills directly relevant to the
training/assessment being delivered
continue to develop their VET knowledge and skills, industry
currency and trainer/assessor competence. Check for specific assessor

sections of assessment requirements documents.
To maintain the integrity of training and assessment, RTOs,
trainers and assessors need to keep pace with industry
technologies and ensure that learning activities and assessments
accurately reflect workplace activities. RTOs will need regular
contact with industry to ensure the currency and validity of all
activities conducted in simulated environments.
Workplace simulation criteria

In conducting training and assessment in a simulated workplace
environment, trainers and assessors must make sure that the
simulated environment gives the learner the opportunity to meet
the following critical criteria:
1.Quality The work is of the standard required for entry into the
industry.
2.Productivity The work is performed within a timeframe
appropriate for entry to the industry.
3.Safety The work is performed in a manner that meets
industry safety standards.
Where simulations meet these criteria, RTOs can be confident

that learners are work ready on successful completion of units of
competency.
29
Assessing in simulated environments To further enhance the validity of assessment process using
simulation, the assessor should consider:
Simulations must provide opportunities for integrated
assessment of competence that include: assessments covering a range of interconnected units of
competency

and occupational
outcomes
A pathway is the route or course of action taken to get to a
destination. A training pathway generally means the learning
activities or experiences used to attain the competencies needed
to achieve career goals. There is no single pathway that applies to
everyone; each individual has specific needs and goals.
Achievement of AQF qualifications provides opportunities for

individuals to pursue and achieve their career goals. Qualifications
can be achieved in various ways, including:
off-the-job training, e.g. attending classroom-based learning

programs
on-the-job training, e.g. apprenticeships, traineeships
recognition of prior learning
credit transfer.
The following information and charts explain possible

the procedures necessary to perform a particular role, but rather,
identify the skills and knowledge, as outcomes, that contribute to
the whole job function. Each unit of competency describes:
a specific work activity and what it involves

particular skills (and level of skills) that are needed to perform
the work activity
conditions under which the work activity may be conducted
knowledge and skills required to perform the work activity
foundation skills required to perform the work activity
how learners can show they are competent in the work activity

Unit of competency structure

Units of competency are based on templates prescribed by the NSSC Standards for Training Packages 2012. Under these Standards,
a unit of competency comprises two separate documents, i.e. a unit of competency document and an assessment requirements
document. The tables explains the contents of each field.
Unit code
Each unit of competency has a unique code, which is assigned when the training package is endorsed, or when new units of
competency are added to an endorsed training package:
the first three characters identify the training package

the next three characters indicate the competency stream or group
the first number indicates the AQF qualification in which the unit is first packaged
the next two numbers identify a units position in the sequence of units in that competency stream or group.

Unit title
The title describes the unit outcome and complies with the length specified in the AVETMIS Standard (no more than 100 characters).
Unit application
This field describes how the unit is practically applied, who would typically use it and the unit of competencys relationship to
licensing, legislative or certification requirements.
Prerequisite units
This is an optional field that specifies any unit(s) in which the learner must already be competent prior to the achieving competency in
this unit.
Unit sector
This field is used to categorise units of competency in relation to industry sectors or types of work.
92
Elements of competency
Elements of competency describe the outcomes of the significant functions and tasks that make up the competency. Elements
describe actions or outcomes that are demonstrable and assessable.
Performance criteria
Performance criteria specify the required performance in relevant tasks, roles, skills (including foundation skills) and the applied
knowledge that enables competent performance.
Foundation skills
This field describes the language, literacy, numeracy and employment skills that are essential to performance.
Range of conditions
This is an optional field that specifies different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Range is restricted
to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment, so it is quite different from the previous
Range statement.
Unit mapping information
This field specifies the code and title of any equivalent unit of competency.

93
Assessment requirements
Title
This field uses the format: Assessment Requirements for [Unit of Competency Code and Title]
Performance evidence
Performance evidence, as the name implies, specifies what individuals must do to show that they satisfy the performance standards
in the unit of competency.
Knowledge evidence
Knowledge evidence, as the name implies, specifies what individuals must know in order to carry out the work tasks described in the
unit of competency safely and effectively.
Assessment conditions
This field describes mandatory conditions for assessment, e.g. details of equipment and materials; contingencies; physical
conditions; relationships with other people; timeframes. It also specifies assessor requirements.
Links
Contextualisation of units
of competency by RTOs
RTOs may contextualise units of competency to reflect local skill
needs. Contextualisation could involve additions or amendments
to the unit of competency to suit particular delivery methods,
learner profiles, or specific enterprise requirements. Any
contextualisation must ensure the integrity of the outcome of the
unit of competency is maintained.
Industry requirements, as described in training or job

specifications, can be used to contextualise a unit of competency.
