How does competency based completion differ from the previous system of completion?
Previously, apprentices had to complete the required training and prove their competency. However they were unable to complete their apprenticeship until they had finished the period of time specified in their Training Contract or sought approval from their employer to complete at a different point in time. For all Victorian apprentices commencing training from 1 January 2011, the apprenticeship will be completed when: • the training provider assesses the apprentice as competent; and • the apprentice’s employer confirms that the apprentice has demonstrated those competencies in the workplace necessary to complete their qualification, and by doing so complete their training contract. This means the apprentice’s training can be more individualised to meet the specific needs of the apprentice and their employer, and the apprentice will be able to complete at their own rate based on their demonstrated abilities. The key change to the process is that the employer will be periodically asked
