Training Packages and Accredited Courses
Training Packages are sets of training materials that have been developed by industry to standardise vocational education and training around Australia. They replace various state and territory VET courses and lead to nationally recognised qualifications. Nationally endorsed standards (within these training packages) describe the skills and knowledge needed to perform effectively in the workplace.
Accredited courses are structured and sequenced vocational education and training courses.
Nationally Recognised Training
An AQF Certificate or Statement of Attainment issued by a Registered Training Organisation assures that students are competent in the standards set by industry. A nationally recognised VET qualification (indicated by the Nationally Recognised Training [NRT] logo) means that students have portable skills and qualifications across Australia.
Nationally Recognised and Accredited courses are identified in the College brochure by the Nationally Recognised Training Logo. Being nationally recognised ensures a high quality of course delivery along with portability of qualifications that are recognised by employers and Registered Training Organisations throughout Australia.
Structure of Courses
In general, courses consist of units of competency, similar to subjects.
Within each unit of competency there is a series of learning outcomes that reflect the skills or competencies that you need to be able to demonstrate competence in, in order to satisfy the assessment requirements.
Competence and Competency Standards
Competence can be defined as the skills and knowledge required to perform the tasks a job requires the standards demanded by industry.
Competency standards (also referred to as national industry/enterprise competency standards) are national standards that set out the work skills and knowledge required for effective performance in the workplace and is defined by industry.
Competency standards are an endorsed component of training packages or where no training package exists, as the basis for defining the learning outcomes of an accredited course.
