What is a Training Package?

Training packages consist of core endorsed components of competency standards , assessment guidelines and qualifications .

Training Package Components

Implementation Guide ….
Developed on a State basis to assist RTOs, trainers and assessors in that state with:

Competency Standards
Competencies are observable acts that require a combination of knowledge, skills and attitudes.
Focus on what is expected of an employee in the workplace.
Incorporate the ability to transfer and apply skills and knowledge.

What are the Dimensions of Competency?
The requirement to:
perform individual tasks ( task skills )
manage a number of different tasks within the job ( task management skills )
respond to irregularities and breakdowns in routine ( contingency management skills )
deal with the responsibilities and expectations of the work environment ( job role/environment skills )

What are the Key Competencies?
The Mayer Key Competencies , a set of seven generic skills, identified as the basic transferable competencies that underpin employability and the capacity to adapt to different types of whole work roles, as well as personal and community activities throughout an individual’s life.

Employability Skills
There are eight employability skills:
Communication
Teamwork
Problem solving
Initiative and enterprise
Planning and organising
Self management
Learning
Technology

Activity
Think/pair share activity
How would you ensure that the key competencies and/or employability skills are incorporated into your sessions?

Contextualisation
Modifying units of competency to reflect the local outcomes required, while maintaining the integrity of the unit.

Contextualisation rules
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.

Customisation
Tailoring a course to meet the specific needs of clients.
A course is customised by the addition, or substitution of units of competency in accordance with the packaging rules.

Assessment Guidelines
Are designed to ensure that assessment is conducted in accordance with the assessment requirements of the units of competency in the TP.
Quality assessment underpins the credibility of the VET system.

Unpacking a Unit of Competency
Analyse the key information found in the different components of the unit of competency:
the elements and performance criteria
the range statement
the evidence guide

Determine the Evidence Requirements
This is done by unpacking the unit of competency to determine:
What evidence is needed to demonstrate competence; and
How can this evidence be collected.

Activity – Discussion What is being assessed?
Try to ‘picture’ the competency standard that is to be assessed. Ask the following questions:
How would a competent person perform the activity described in the competency standard?
How would they apply their knowledge?
What level of performance would be expected?
What would a competent person not do?

Don’t panic – you will get it
