Training Packages |
|
An Introduction
Training Packages are part of the new
framework for delivery of nationally recognised training.
Training Packages include "endorsed" and "non endorsed"
components.
The endorsed components may only be altered in
accordance with the Training Package customisation
guidelines and/or with agreement of the National Training
Framework Committee (NTFC). The endorsed components are:
-
National Competency Standards for the industry and its
sectors
-
A National Qualifications Framework for the industry.
-
National industry Assessment Guidelines
The non-endorsed components include the full
range of resources and materials, which can be used by
trainers and assessors to implement the Training Package.
They may be developed and/or varied by users of the endorsed
components.
Training Packages:
-
replace nationally accredited curriculum as the way of
accessing national qualifications. Existing courses, which
match requirements defined in the Training Package, will
continue to be useful for training provision. Where
courses do not match, they will be replaced by more
relevant training.
-
allow for training on and off the job
-
promote customisation (of units and/or qualifications) by
organisations
-
define New Apprenticeships pathways
-
require direct assessment against the competency standards
for national qualifications to be awarded
-
meet technical requirements defined by the Aust National
Training Authority (ANTA) in:
-
Updated Guidelines for Training Package Developers - March
1998 ( Aust National Training Authority 1998)
-
Standards Best Practice manual (Standards and
Curriculum Council 1996)
-
Print Guidelines for Training Packages Endorsed and
Non-Endorsed Components (ANTA June 1998)
-
may include previously endorsed competency standards,
which have been reviewed and changed to meet the technical
requirements of Training Packages (see above)
-
meet industry consultation and validation requirements and
standards as agreed by the Board of Community Services and
Health Training Australia
