Training Packages

The Australian Vocational Education and Training (VET) system aims to provide individuals with work-ready skills for the labour market – skills that businesses and industries need in order to be highly productive and internationally competitive.

Supporting the national VET system, Training Packages specify the skills and knowledge required to perform effectively in the workplace through units of competency. Training Packages also describe how these units can be packaged into nationally recognised qualifications aligned to the Australian Qualifications Framework and industry recognised Skill Sets.

Training Packages are developed through an extensive consultation process under the leadership of Industry Reference Committees.

If you have any concerns or complaints about a Training Package development process, please contact enquiries@aistnds.org.au and we will respond as a priority.

If you have concerns or complaints about the performance of AIS as a Skills Service Organisation (SSO), stakeholders are encouraged to contact the Australian Industry and Skills Committee (AISC) Secretariat on aiscsecretariat@employment.gov.au

Qualifications

Qualifications are directly aligned to job roles, based on industry or workplace requirements. Units of competency based on a specific function or task of the job are drawn together to form the qualification and can allow for flexibility across a range of organisational types and sizes. The qualification prescribes the way these competencies are packaged together to achieve the qualification.

Qualifications can be achieved on the job with a worker’s current competency and/or prior learning recognised and attributed towards the qualification. Training can be delivered through a range of flexible options.

Skill Sets

A Skill Set is made up of a single unit of competency or a combination of units of competency, and links directly to a defined industry need, Licensing or Regulatory requirement.  Skill Sets can build on existing qualifications or be used for a specific organisational need.

Companion Volume Implementation Guide

A Companion Volume Implementation Guide (CVIG) to a training package provides advice to assist in the implementation of the training package and is released at the same time as the training package.

The CVIG is designed to assist industry, assessors, trainers and Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) in delivering the Training Package. The main purpose of this guide is to provide advice about the structure of the Training Package. It includes information about the range of qualifications, units of competency, and assessment requirements within the package. An overview of the industry, and the importance of industry context and the requirement to meet industry needs, is also provided.
