COURSE OVERVIEW:

Welcome to the course Vocational Training Packages Demystified. This course is designed to provide you with an understanding of training packages, their development, components, and the policies and standards that govern them. Whether you are a trainer, manager, administrator, or involved in workforce planning, this course will equip you with the knowledge to navigate and utilise training packages effectively.

We begin with an introduction to training packages, providing an overview of their purpose and importance. This section will cover the key components and structure of training packages, including the organising framework that underpins their development and implementation.

Key policies and standards are crucial for ensuring the quality and consistency of training packages. You will learn about the standards for training packages, including the endorsed and non-endorsed components. We will explore the training package products policy, which outlines the design rules and requirements, as well as the development and endorsement process policy, detailing the pathways, endorsement procedures, and roles and responsibilities involved.

The components of training packages form the core of this course. You will delve into units of competency, examining their structure and template, including unit code and title, application, pre-requisite units, elements and performance criteria, foundation skills, range of conditions, and unit mapping information. Assessment requirements such as performance evidence, knowledge evidence, and assessment conditions will also be covered.

Qualifications within training packages will be explored. This includes their structure and template, covering qualification code and title, description and licensing requirements, entry requirements, packaging rules, and qualification mapping information. We will also discuss credit arrangements, including existing arrangements with higher education institutions.

Skill sets are another key component of training packages. You will learn about their definition and purpose, coding and titling, and entry requirements, understanding how they provide targeted skills development.

The development and endorsement process of training packages involves several phases. You will learn about the preliminary steps, such as workforce planning and analysis and the annual training product development plan. The development phase includes initial drafting and consultation, incorporating feedback, and finalisation and submission. The endorsement and implementation phase covers the role of the assurance body, skills ministers’ approval, and publication and implementation guidance.

Quality assurance and compliance are essential for maintaining the integrity of training packages. This section covers the training package quality principles, ensuring they reflect workforce outcomes, support portability and flexibility, ensure national agreement on skills, and facilitate recognition and transition. Compliance with legislation, including anti-discrimination and access equity, and licensing and regulatory requirements will also be discussed.

Companion volume implementation guides provide crucial support for implementing training packages. You will learn about their purpose and content, including overview information such as version control and modification history, qualification and unit mapping, and regulatory and licensing implications. Implementation information will cover key features and industry impact, pathways advice, and access and equity considerations.

Transition and maintenance of training packages ensure they remain relevant and up-to-date. You will learn about determining superseded status, mapping relationships, and the criteria for deleted status. Continuous improvement processes, including minor and major changes, and updating codes and titles, will also be covered.

By the end of this course, you will have a thorough understanding of training packages, their development and endorsement processes, and how to effectively implement and maintain them in vocational education and training settings.
