What is contextualisation?
Contextualisation means tailoring units of competency to suit specific needs. Units of competency may be modified to reflect the local outcomes required, as long as the integrity of the unit is maintained. Contextualisation could involve the provision of additional information to suit particular delivery or assessment methods, learner profiles, specific enterprise equipment requirements or other local needs. The integrity of the intended outcome of the unit must be maintained. Contextualisation rules are identified both within Training Package qualifications and accredited courses. In general, these are the rules that are stated: • Must not remove or add to the number and content of elements and performance criteria • May add specific industry terminology to performance criteria where this does not distort or narrow the competency outcomes; • May make additions to the range statement; and • May add detail to the evidence guide in areas such as the critical aspects of evidence or resour
