What are Training Packages?
Vocational education and training has traditionally focused on accredited courses, delivered by a range of training providers, leading to a qualification. Significant changes to the content, delivery and choice of training have emerged over the last few years, culminating in the 1998 introduction of Training Packages. A Training Package is a set of national training resources consisting of Core Components: • Competency Standards (Workplace skills and knowledge requirements) • Assessment Guidelines (Advice on assessment of competencies) • National Qualifications (Combining of competency units that form a national qualification) Core components will be endorsed by the National Training Framework Committee.
