Preliminary Information

Important Note to Users

Training Packages are not static documents; they are amended periodically to reflect the latest industry practices and are version controlled. It is essential that the latest version is always used.

Check the version number before commencing training or assessment

This Training Package is Version 2 - check whether this is the latest version by going to the Training.gov.au (www.training.gov.au) and locating information about the Training Package. Alternatively, contact ForestWorks at www.forestworks.com.au to confirm the latest version number.

Explanation of version number conventions

The primary release Training Package is Version 1. When changes are made to a Training Package, sometimes the version number is changed and sometimes it is not, depending on the extent of the change. When a Training Package is reviewed it is considered to be a new Training Package for the purposes of version control, and is Version 1. Do not confuse the version number with the Training Package’s national code (which remains the same during its period of endorsement).

Explanation of the review date

The review date (shown on the title page and in the footer of each page) indicates when the Training Package is expected to be reviewed in the light of changes such as changing technologies and circumstances.

Overview

What is a training package

A Training Package is an integrated set of nationally endorsed competency standards, assessment guidelines and Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) qualifications for a specific industry, industry sector or enterprise.

Each Training Package:

•	provides a consistent and reliable set of components for training, recognising and assessing peoples' skills, and may also have optional support materials

•	enables nationally recognised qualifications to be awarded through direct assessment of workplace competencies

•	encourages the development and delivery of flexible training which suits individual and industry requirements

•	encourages learning and assessment in a work-related environment which leads to verifiable workplace outcomes.

How do Training Packages fit within the National Skills Framework?

The National Skills Framework applies nationally, is endorsed by the Ministerial Council for Vocational and Technical Education, and comprises the Australian Quality Training Framework 2010 (AQTF 2010), and Training Packages endorsed by the National Standards Skills Council (NSSC).

How are Training Packages developed?

Training Packages are developed by Industry Skills Councils or enterprises to meet the identified training needs of specific industries or industry sectors. To gain national endorsement of Training Packages, developers must provide evidence of extensive research, consultation and support within the industry area or enterprise.

How do Training Packages encourage flexibility?

Training Packages describe the skills and knowledge needed to perform effectively in the workplace without prescribing how people should be trained.

Training Packages acknowledge that people can achieve vocational competency in many ways by emphasising what the learner can do, not how or where they learned to do it. For example, some experienced workers might be able to demonstrate competency against the units of competency, and even gain a qualification, without completing a formal training program.

With Training Packages, assessment and training may be conducted at the workplace, off-the-job, at a training organisation, during regular work, or through work experience, work placement, work simulation or any combination of these.

Who can deliver and assess using Training Packages?

Training and assessment using Training Packages must be conducted by a Registered

Training Organisation (RTO) that has the qualifications or specific units of competency on its scope of registration, or that works in partnership with another RTO, as specified in the AQTF 2010.

Training Package Components

Training Packages are made up of mandatory components endorsed by the NQC, and optional support materials.

Training Package Endorsed Components

The nationally endorsed components include the Competency Standards, Assessment Guidelines and Qualifications Framework. These form the basis of training and assessment in the Training Package and, as such, they must be used.

Competency Standards

Each unit of competency identifies a discrete workplace requirement and includes the knowledge and skills that underpin competency as well as language, literacy and numeracy; and occupational health and safety requirements. The units of competency must be adhered to in training and assessment to ensure consistency of outcomes.

Assessment Guidelines

The Assessment Guidelines provide an industry framework to ensure all assessments meet industry needs and nationally agreed standards as expressed in the Training Package and the AQTF 2010. The Assessment Guidelines must be followed to ensure the integrity of assessment leading to nationally recognised qualifications.

Qualifications Framework

Each Training Package provides details of those units of competency that must be achieved to award AQF qualifications. The rules around which units of competency can be combined to make up a valid AQF qualification in the Training Package are referred to as the ‘packaging rules’. The packaging rules must be followed to ensure the integrity of nationally recognised qualifications issued.

Training Package Support Materials

The endorsed components of Training Packages are complemented and supported by optional support materials that provide for choice in the design of training and assessment to meet the needs of industry and learners.

Training Package support materials can relate to single or multiple units of competency, an industry sector, a qualification or the whole Training Package. They tend to fall into one or more of the categories illustrated below.

Training Package support materials are produced by a range of stakeholders such as RTOs, individual trainers and assessors, private and commercial developers and Government agencies.

Training Package, Qualification and Unit of Competency Codes

There are agreed conventions for the national codes used for Training Packages and their components. Always use the correct codes, exactly as they appear in the Training Package, and with the code always before the title.

Training Package Codes

Each Training Package has a unique five-character national code assigned when the Training Package is endorsed, for example FPI05. The first three characters are letters identifying the Training Package industry coverage and the last two characters are numbers identifying the year of endorsement.

Qualification Codes

Within each Training Package, each qualification has a unique eight-character code, for example FPI50111.

•	the first three letters identify the Training Package;

•	the first number identifies the qualification level (noting that, in the qualification titles themselves, arabic numbers are not used;

•	the next two numbers identify the position in the sequence of the qualification at that level; and

•	the last two numbers identify the year in which the qualification was endorsed. (Where qualifications are added after the initial Training Package endorsement, the last two numbers may differ from other Training Package qualifications as they identify the year in which those particular qualifications were endorsed.)

Unit of Competency Codes

Within each Training Package, each unit of competency has a unique code. The unit of competency codes are assigned when the Training Package is endorsed, or when new units of competency are added to an existing endorsed Training Package.

a typical code is made up of 12 characters, normally a mixture of uppercase letters and numbers, as in FPISAW2201A;

the first three characters signify the Training Package (FPI11 Forest and Forest Products Training Package in the above example) and up to eight characters, relating to an industry sector, function or skill area, follow;

the last character is always a letter and identifies the unit of competency version. An ‘A’ at the end of the code indicates that this is the original unit of competency. ‘B’, or another incremented version identifier means that minor changes have been made. Typically this would mean that wording has changed in the range statement or evidence guide, providing clearer intent; and where changes are made that alter the outcome, a new code is assigned and the title is changed.

The uppercase letters in the codes for Forest and Forest Products Industry units of competency correspond to the industry sectors as follows:

FPICOR	Denotes Core units of competency
FPICOT	Denotes Common Technical units of competency (which are common to more than one sector of the industry)
FPIFGM	Denotes units of competency within the Forest Growing and Management sector
FPIHAR	Denotes units of competency within the Harvesting and Haulage sector
FPISAW	Denotes units of competency within the Sawmilling and Processing sector
FPIWPP	Denotes units of competency within the Wood Panel and Board Production sector
FPITMM	Denotes units of competency within the Timber Manufactured Products and Timber Merchandising sector

Imported units of competency retain the codes from their Training Package of origin.

Contextualisation Advice for Unit of Competency Codes in FPI11

Unit of Competency version control in this Training Package uses a new explicit ‘Revision Number’ as follows:

Revision 1 indicates that this is the original unit of competency.

Revision 2 or above means that minor changes have been made. For example FPICOT2235A becomes FPICOT2235A, Revision 2 rather than FPICOT2235B. Typically this level of revision would mean that wording has changed in the range statement or evidence guide, providing clearer unit intent.

The individual Unit of Competency ‘Revision Number’ is displayed in training.gov.au (TGA) and on the cover page of the published unit. The FPI11 Training Package incorporates these changes as follow:

Codes allocated before the introduction of TGA will be retained indefinitely. However, the ‘A’, ’B, ’C’ component of the code will no longer be incremented. Instead an explicit Unit of Competency ‘Revision Number’ will be used

New unit codes will not include an ‘A’, ’B’, ’C’ suffix. As such all new codes will contain 11 Characters. For example FPIFGM3212

Where changes are made that alter the outcome of the unit, a new code is assigned and the title is changed.

Training Package, Qualification and Unit of Competency Titles

There are agreed conventions for titling Training Packages and their components. Always use the correct titles, exactly as they appear in the Training Package, and with the code always placed before the title.

Training Package Titles

The title of each endorsed Training Package is unique and relates the Training Package’s broad industry coverage.

Qualification Titles

The title of each endorsed Training Package qualification is unique. Qualification titles use the following sequence:

first, the qualification is identified as either Certificate I, Certificate II, Certificate III, Certificate IV, Diploma, Advanced Diploma, Vocational Graduate Certificate, or Vocational Graduate Diploma;

this is followed by the words ‘in’ for Certificates I to IV, and ‘of’ for Diploma, Advanced Diploma, Vocational Graduate Certificate and Vocational Graduate Diploma;

then, the industry descriptor, for example Telecommunications; and

then, if applicable, the occupational or functional stream in brackets, for example (Computer Systems).

For example:

FPI20111 Certificate II in Forest Growing and Management

FPI50111 Diploma of Forest and Forest Products.

Unit of Competency Titles

Each unit of competency title is unique. Unit of competency titles describe the competency outcome concisely, and are written in sentence case.

For example:

FPICOT2201B Stack and bind material

FPISAW3201B Treat timber.

Introduction to FPI11 V1

The Industry

The Forest and Forest Products Industry covers a diverse range of activities from growing and management of plantation and native forest resources, through harvesting, sawmilling and processing, to the manufacture, merchandising and retailing of finished products.

The industry is characterised by a mix of small, medium and large enterprises. Some enterprises show a high degree of vertical integration, being involved in activities across the six industry sectors. The six industry sectors are:

•	Forest Growing and Management

•	Harvesting and Haulage

•	Sawmilling and Processing

•	Timber Manufactured Products

•	Timber Merchandising

•	Wood Panel Products.

Forest Growing and Management has traditionally been dominated by very large organisations, usually either State owned, or associated with large downstream manufacturing operations. A new category of forest growers are the agroforesters, or farm foresters, who often run plantations as micro-businesses attached to a commercial farm.

Activities in the Forest Growing and Management sector generally involve the planting, tending, protection and preparation of trees for harvesting, including the general environmental management of the land and land usage. Forests are maintained not only for the production of timber products, but for conservation, land protection, recreational, social and scientific purposes.

Harvesting and Haulage typically involves small enterprises employing the 4-6 people needed to run a single logging crew. Harvesting operators usually have a contractual relationship with their suppliers (forest owners) and customers (sawmillers and manufacturers of various types), rather than an open-market relationship.

Forest harvesting is carried out in both native hardwood forests and softwood or hardwood plantations. Jobs in this sector, typically involving outdoor work, can include activities such as construction of roads and log-landings, harvesting trees either mechanically or manually, plant and equipment operation, shifting tree lengths into various products and grades of product, grading of sawlogs, loading logs for delivery to specified processing plants, and undertaking rehabilitation works to rejuvenate forest coupes (areas from which trees are harvested).

Sawmilling and Processing is comprised of small, medium and large organisations that undertake a range of activities. These include log sawmilling, production of hardwood and softwood chips for use by other sectors of the industry, and value adding through planing and moulding activities (including finger jointing), preservative treatment, kiln drying, the production of landscape bark and chips, production of flooring and joinery products, component manufacturing and planing, moulding and machining.

Increasingly, enterprises involved in sawmilling and processing are highly mechanised and rely on computer technology to control the production process.

Timber Manufactured Products comprises small, medium and large enterprises and is involved in the production of a wide range of products including doors, windows and prefabricated trusses and frames, for the construction industry. Other enterprises produce pallets, casks, boxes, crates etc. for agricultural and industrial use.

Enterprises employ skilled tradespeople (eg carpenters, joiners, builders and maintenance mechanics) as well.

Timber Merchandising outlets range from small ‘corner-shop’ timber and hardware stores to large national chains. Industry seems to be trending away from small independent stores towards larger businesses, or groups of small businesses coming together under the banner of a franchise. This sector includes:

•	Wholesale distributors who import timber and wood or buy from local manufacturers for sale to merchants and other large volume clients. They are often associated with large timber producers and are usually based in capital cities or major regional centres.

•	Merchants who sell to trade users of timber products. They usually handle many different types of timber species and products, bought from a large number of suppliers. They may provide ancillary services, eg. Quantities and sizes to order, drying, moulding etc.

•	Retailers who sell timber products and associated hardware in smaller quantities to individual tradespeople and the general public. The emphasis is on display, customer service and packaging.

•	Wood Panel Products is predominantly comprised of large enterprises due to high costs involved in establishing efficient production facilities. Activities in the wood panel products sector include the manufacture of veneers, plywood, particle board and medium density fibre board (MDF).

The manufacture of wood panel products is a highly mechanised, technology driven production process.

Qualifications Framework

What is the Australian Qualifications Framework?

A brief overview of the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) follows. For a full explanation of the AQF, see the AQF Implementation Handbook. http://www.aqf.edu.au/Portals/0/Documents/Handbook/AustQuals%20FrmwrkFirstEditionJuly2011_FINAL.pdf

The AQF provides a comprehensive, nationally consistent framework for all qualifications in post-compulsory education and training in Australia. In the vocational education and training (VET) sector it assists national consistency for all trainees, learners, employers and providers by enabling national recognition of qualifications and Statements of Attainment.

Training Package qualifications in the VET sector must comply with the titles and guidelines of the AQF. Endorsed Training Packages provide a unique title for each AQF qualification which must always be reproduced accurately.

Qualifications

Training Packages can incorporate the following eight AQF qualifications.

•	Certificate I in ...

•	Certificate II in ...

•	Certificate III in ...

•	Certificate IV in ...

•	Diploma of ...

•	Advanced Diploma of ...

•	Vocational Graduate Certificate of ...

•	Vocational Graduate Diploma of ...

On completion of the requirements defined in the Training Package, a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) may issue a nationally recognised AQF qualification. Issuance of AQF qualifications must comply with the advice provided in the AQF Implementation Handbook and the AQTF 2010 Essential Standards for Initial and Continuing Registration.

Statement of Attainment

A Statement of Attainment is issued by a Registered Training Organisation when an individual has completed one or more units of competency from nationally recognised qualification(s)/courses(s). Issuance of Statements of Attainment must comply with the

advice provided in the current AQF Implementation Handbook and the AQTF 2010 Essential

Standards for Initial and Continuing Registration.

Under the AQTF 2010, RTOs must recognise the achievement of competencies as recorded on a qualification or Statement of Attainment issued by other RTOs. Given this, recognised competencies can progressively build towards a full AQF qualification.

Qualifications and Packaging Rules

Forest and Forest Products Industry Qualifications

Background

The qualifications structure of FPI11:

•	supports both general and sector specific qualification pathways

•	provides effective qualifications at the higher AQF levels (Certificate IV and Diploma) that suit industry needs for a technical qualification and a management focused qualification, or a balance of both

•	provides qualifications consisting of a small core to ensure flexibility by allowing people to choose electives to suit their job outcomes and future job choices

•	allows achievement of ‘skills sets’ within qualifications if achievement of a total qualification is not required.

The qualifications structure incorporates the outcomes of extensive industry consultation which determined that qualifications should:

•	provide maximum flexibility to allow enterprises and individuals to select combinations of units of competency relevant to their training needs

•	reflect any State or Territory licensing requirements

•	recognise different entry points and development pathways

•	recognise the trades of Sawdoctoring and Woodmachining as discrete qualifications

•	reflect realities in terms of work organisation and job design

•	allow for articulation between qualifications

•	create career path opportunities for people within the industry.

Structure of the Qualifications

The qualification packaging rules provide maximum flexibility through the identification of mandatory units to meet occupational requirements, provision of a choice of electives to ensure enterprise needs are met, and the incorporation of relevant units from other endorsed Training Packages to facilitate portability of qualifications.

Units within qualifications are arranged in the following broad categories:

•	Core Units

Includes identified compulsory or ‘core’ units which provide generic skills, for example in areas such as communication, OHS, working effectively, quality, the environment, teamwork and first aid.

•	Elective Units

Includes ‘sector’ electives to meet the requirements of technical functional areas. Units have been placed into specialist ‘streams’ or skills sets such as fire control, harvesting operations, timber products, sawing operations, merchandising etc. Units in this group are generally technical in nature with outcomes directly relevant to the Forest and Forest Products Industry.

Includes ‘common’ electives to meet the requirements of common functional areas. Units have been placed into streams such as administration and business, load handling, communication and relationships, machinery and equipment etc. Units in this group are generally cross-industry in nature.

FPI11 allows customisation of qualifications through a choice of up to two or three (depending on the qualification) electives from FPI11, other nationally endorsed Training Packages, or State/Territory accredited courses. Generally, electives from this category must be either aligned to the same AQF level outcomes, or aligned to one AQF level up or down from the level of the qualification.

The packaging of the units of competency complements, but does not infringe on the responsibilities and requirements of State and Territory based regulatory authorities. An individual seeking a qualification for a position covered by State or Territory regulatory requirements should check with the relevant Act and regulatory authority, the employer and the RTO providing the training and assessment, when selecting elective units of competency to complete a qualification.

Access, Equity and Cultural Diversity

The skills required of employees in the Forest and Forest Products Industry are comprehensive and many employment opportunities are available. The qualifications in this Training Package reflect the required range of competencies and are written in a non- exclusive manner so as to increase the participation rates of all equity and disadvantaged groups and to minimise unintentional bias.

The Forest and Forest Products Industry recognises the importance of access and equity and is committed to ensuring that access to employment and training is available regardless of gender, socio-economic background, disability, ethnic origin, age or race. Catering for differences may involve adapting the physical environment, equipment, and training and assessment materials for learners. An inclusive environment is one that acknowledges and values the variations between people and cultures. It recognises and embraces difference and provides the means by which all clients have the greatest opportunity to achieve their goals.

Qualification Pathways

The following pathways charts are provided to show the types of pathways into and from qualifications that are possible with this Training Package. For more information about qualifications and pathways contact ForestWorks ISC.

Forest and Forest Products Industry qualifications can be achieved via a variety of pathways and training delivery and assessment options. Possible pathways include:

•	work-based training and assessment

•	a mixture of institution-based training and assessment and work-based training and assessment

•	recognition of prior learning and current competency (RPL/RCC)

•	recognition of prior learning combined with further training, as required.

In considering pathways it is important to note that assessment for the issuing of an AQF qualification in some sectors of the Forest and Forest Products Industry may be conducted in the workplace or in a simulated situation where issues of safety and/or environmental damage are limiting factors. On-the-job assessment conducted in the workplace or in a simulated situation ensures that candidates can function effectively in the real work environment and that the competencies assessed are relevant to the work site or industry.

This Training Package provides open entry at each of the AQF levels. Open entry is available at all levels provided the prospective learner’s general education and competency level is equivalent to the outcome of four to five years of secondary school. Additionally, entry levels provide an option for potential learners to choose a qualification suited to their needs while providing flexibility for recruitment action by employers. Entry into all qualifications is also available through progression from a lower level qualification, and Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) arrangements.

Qualification Pathways

Assessment Guidelines

Introduction

These Assessment Guidelines provide the endorsed framework for assessment of units of competency in this Training Package. They are designed to ensure that assessment is consistent with the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF) Essential Standards for Initial and Continuing Registration. Assessments against the units of competency in this Training Package must be carried out in accordance with these Assessment Guidelines.

Assessment System Overview

This section provides an overview of the requirements for assessment when using this Training Package, including a summary of the AQTF requirements; licensing and registration requirements; and assessment pathways.

Quality assessment underpins the credibility of the vocational education and training sector. The Assessment Guidelines of a Training Package are an important tool in supporting quality assessment.

Assessment within the National Skills Framework is the process of collecting evidence and making judgements about whether competency has been achieved to confirm whether an individual can perform to the standards expected in the workplace, as expressed in the relevant endorsed unit of competency.

Assessment must be carried out in accordance with the:

benchmarks for assessment

specific industry requirements

principles of assessment

rules of evidence

assessment requirements set out in the AQTF

Benchmarks for Assessment

The endorsed units of competency in this Training Package are the benchmarks for assessment. As such, they provide the basis for nationally recognised Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) qualifications and Statements of Attainment issued by Registered Training Organisations (RTOs).

Principles of Assessment

All assessments carried out by RTOs are required to demonstrate compliance with the principles of assessment:

validity

reliability

flexibility

fairness

sufficiency

These principles must be addressed in the:

design, establishment and management of the assessment system for this Training Package

development of assessment tools, and

the conduct of assessment.

Validity

Assessment is valid when the process is sound and assesses what it claims to assess. Validity requires that:

(a)	assessment against the units of competency must cover the broad range of skills and knowledge that are essential to competent performance

(b)	assessment of knowledge and skills must be integrated with their practical application

(c)	judgement of competence must be based on sufficient evidence (that is, evidence gathered on a number of occasions and in a range of contexts using different assessment methods). The specific evidence requirements of each unit of competency provide advice on sufficiency

Reliability

Reliability refers to the degree to which evidence presented for assessment is consistently interpreted and results in consistent assessment outcomes. Reliability requires the assessor to have the required competencies in assessment and relevant vocational competencies (or to assess in conjunction with someone who has the vocational competencies). It can only be achieved when assessors share a common interpretation of the assessment requirements of the unit(s) being assessed.

Flexibility

To be flexible, assessment should reflect the candidate’s needs; provide for recognition of competencies no matter how, where or when they have been acquired; draw on a range of methods appropriate to the context, competency and the candidate; and support continuous competency development.

Fairness

Fairness in assessment requires consideration of the individual candidate’s needs and characteristics, and any reasonable adjustments that need to be applied to take account of them. It requires clear communication between the assessor and the candidate to ensure that the candidate is fully informed about, understands and is able to participate in, the assessment process, and agrees that the process is appropriate. It also includes an opportunity for the person being assessed to challenge the result of the assessment and to be reassessed if necessary.

Sufficiency

Sufficiency relates to the quality and quantity of evidence assessed. It requires collection of enough appropriate evidence to ensure that all aspects of competency have been satisfied and that competency can be demonstrated repeatedly. Supplementary sources of evidence may be necessary. The specific evidence requirements of each unit of competency provide advice on sufficiency. Sufficiency is also one of the rules of evidence.

Rules of Evidence

The rules of evidence guide the collection of evidence that address the principles of validity and reliability, guiding the collection of evidence to ensure that it is valid, sufficient, current and authentic.

Valid

Valid evidence must relate directly to the requirements of the unit of competency. In ensuring evidence is valid, assessors must ensure that the evidence collected supports demonstration of the outcomes and performance requirements of the unit of competency together with the knowledge and skills necessary for competent performance. Valid evidence must encapsulate the breadth and depth of the unit of competency, which will necessitate using a number of different assessment methods.

Sufficient

Sufficiency relates to the quality and quantity of evidence assessed. It requires collection of enough appropriate evidence to ensure that all aspects of competency have been satisfied and that competency can be demonstrated repeatedly. Supplementary sources of evidence may be necessary. The specific evidence requirements of each unit of competency provide advice on sufficiency.

Current

In assessment, currency relates to the age of the evidence presented by a candidate to demonstrate that they are still competent. Competency requires demonstration of current performance, so the evidence collected must be from either the present or the very recent past.

Authentic

To accept evidence as authentic, an assessor must be assured that the evidence presented for assessment is the candidate’s own work.
Assessment Requirements of the Australian Quality Training Framework

Assessment leading to nationally recognised AQF qualifications and Statements of Attainment in the vocational education and training sector must meet the requirements of the AQTF as expressed in the AQTF 2010 Essential Standards for Registration.

The AQTF 2010 Essential Standards for Initial and Continuing Registration can be downloaded from <www.training.com.au>.

The following points summarise the assessment requirements.

Registration of Training Organisations

Assessment must be conducted by, or on behalf of, an RTO formally registered by a State or Territory Registering Body in accordance with the AQTF. The RTO must have the specific units of competency and/or AQF qualifications on its scope of registration.

Quality Training and Assessment

Each RTO must provide quality training and assessment across all its operations. See the AQTF 2010 Essential Standards for Initial and Continuing Registration, Standard 1.

Assessor Competency Requirements

Each person involved in training and assessment must be competent for the functions they perform. See the AQTF 2010 Essential Standards for Initial and Continuing Registration, Standard 1 for assessor (and trainer) competency requirements. See also the AQTF 2010 Users’ Guide to the Essential Standards for Registration – Appendix 2.

Assessment Requirements

The RTOs assessments, including RPL, must meet the requirements of the relevant endorsed Training Package. See the AQTF 2010 Essential Standards for Initial and Continuing Registration.

Assessment Strategies

Each RTO must have strategies for training and assessment that meet the requirements of the relevant Training Package or accredited course and are developed in consultation with industry stakeholders. See the AQTF 2010 Essential Standards for Initial and Continuing Registration.

National Recognition

Each RTO must recognise the AQF qualifications and Statements of Attainment issued by any other RTO. See the AQTF 2010 Essential Standards for Initial and Continuing Registration..

Access and Equity and Client Outcomes

Each RTO must adhere to the principles of access and equity and maximise outcomes for its clients. See the AQTF 2010 Essential Standards for Initial and Continuing Registration.

Monitoring Assessments

Training and/or assessment provided on behalf of the RTO must be monitored to ensure that it is in accordance with all aspects of the AQTF 2010 Essential Standards for Initial and Continuing Registration.

Recording Assessment Outcomes

Each RTO must manage records to ensure their accuracy and integrity. See the AQTF 2010 Essential Standards for Initial and Continuing Registration.

Issuing AQF qualifications and Statement of Attainment

Each RTO must issue AQF qualifications and Statements of Attainment that meet the requirements of the current AQF Implementation Handbook and the endorsed Training Packages within the scope of its registration. An AQF qualification is issued once the full requirements for a qualification, as specified in the nationally endorsed Training Package are met. A Statement of Attainment is issued when an individual has completed one or more units of competency from nationally recognised qualification(s)/courses(s). See the AQTF and the edition of the AQF Implementation Handbook—available on the AQF Council website <www.aqf.edu.au >

Pathways

The competencies in this Training Package may be attained in a number of ways including through:

formal or informal education and training

experiences in the workplace

general life experience, and/or

any combination of the above.

Assessment under this Training Package leading to an AQF qualification or Statement of Attainment may follow a learning and assessment pathway, or a recognition pathway, or a combination of the two as illustrated in the following diagram.

Units of Competency	Statement of Attainment and/or qualification under the Australian Qualifications Framework
	Learning and Assessment Pathways	

and/or

	Credit Pathways (RPL and Credit Transfer)	

Each of these assessment pathways leads to full recognition of competencies held – the critical issue is that the candidate is competent, not how the competency was acquired.

Assessment, by any pathway, must comply with the assessment requirements set out in the Assessment Guidelines of the Training Package , the AQTF and, where relevant, the Australian Qualifications Framework.

Learning and Assessment Pathways

Usually, learning and assessment are integrated, with evidence being collected and feedback provided to the candidate at anytime throughout the learning and assessment process.

Learning and assessment pathways may include structured programs in a variety of contexts using a range of strategies to meet different learner needs. Structured learning and assessment programs could be: group-based, work-based, project-based, self-paced, action learning-based; conducted by distance or e-learning; and/or involve practice and experience in the workplace.

Learning and assessment pathways to suit Australian Apprenticeships have a mix of formal structured training and structured workplace experience with formative assessment activities through which candidates can acquire and demonstrate skills and knowledge from the relevant units of competency.

Credit Pathways

Credit is the value assigned for the recognition of equivalence in content between different types of learning and/or qualifications which reduces the volume of learning required to achieve a qualification.

Credit arrangements must be offered by all RTOs that offer Training Package qualifications. Each RTO must have a systematic institutional approach with clear, accessible and transparent policies and procedures.

Competencies already held by individuals can be formally assessed against the units of competency in this Training Package, and should be recognised regardless of how, when or where they were acquired, provided that the learning is relevant to the unit of competency outcomes.

Recognition of Prior Learning

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is an assessment process which determines the credit outcomes of an individual application for credit.

The availability of Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) provides all potential learners with access to credit opportunities.

The recognition of prior learning pathway is appropriate for candidates who have previously attained skills and knowledge and who, when enrolling in qualifications, seek to shorten the duration of their training and either continue or commence working. This may include the following groups of people:

existing workers;

individuals with overseas qualifications;

recent migrants with established work histories;

people returning to the workplace; and

people with disabilities or injuries requiring a change in career.

As with all assessment, RPL assessment should be undertaken by academic or teaching staff with expertise in the subject, content of skills area, as well as knowledge of and expertise in RPL assessment policies and procedures.

Assessment methods used for RPL should provide a range of ways for individuals to demonstrate that they have met the required outcomes and can be granted credit. These might include:

questioning (oral or written)

consideration of a portfolio and review of contents

consideration of third party reports and/or other documentation such as documentation such as articles, reports, project material, papers, testimonials or other products prepared by the RPL applicant that relate to the learning outcomes of the relevant qualification component

mapping of learning outcomes from prior formal or non-formal learning to the relevant qualification components

observation of performance, and

participation in structured assessment activities the individual would normally be required to undertake if they were enrolled in the qualification component/s.

In a Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) pathway, the candidate provides current, quality evidence of their competency against the relevant unit of competency. This process may be directed by the candidate and verified by the assessor. Where the outcomes of this process indicate that the candidate is competent, structured training is not required. The RPL requirements of the AQTF must be met.

As with all assessment, the assessor must be confident that the evidence indicates that the candidate is currently competent against the endorsed unit of competency. This evidence may take a variety of forms and might include certification, references from past employers, testimonials from clients, work samples and/or observation of the candidate. The onus is on candidates to provide sufficient evidence to satisfy assessors that they currently hold the relevant competencies. In judging evidence, the assessor must ensure that the evidence of prior learning is:

authentic (the candidate’s own work);

valid (directly related to the current version of the relevant endorsed unit of competency);

reliable (shows that the candidate consistently meets the endorsed unit of competency);

current (reflects the candidate’s current capacity to perform the aspect of the work covered by the endorsed unit of competency); and

sufficient (covers the full range of elements in the relevant unit of competency and addresses the four dimensions of competency, namely task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills, and job/role environment skills).

Credit Transfer

Credit transfer is a process which provides learners with agreed and consistent credit outcomes based on equivalences in content between matched qualifications.

This process involves education institutions:

mapping, comparing and evaluating the extent to which the defined learning outcomes and assessment requirements of the individual components of one qualification are equivalent to the learning outcomes and assessment requirements of the individual components of another qualification

making an educational judgment of the credit outcomes to be assigned between the matched components of the two qualifications

setting out the agreed credit outcomes in a documented arrangement or agreement, and

publicising the arrangement/agreement and credit available.

Combination of Pathways

Credit may be awarded on the basis of a combination of credit transfer plus an individual RPL assessment for additional learning. Once credit has been awarded on the basis of RPL, subsequent credit transfer based on these learning outcomes should not include revisiting the RPL assessment but should be based on credit transfer or articulation or other arrangements between providers.

Where candidates for assessment have gained competencies through work and life experience and gaps in their competence are identified, or where they require training in new areas, a combination of pathways may be appropriate.

In such situations, the candidate may undertake an initial assessment to determine their current competency. Once current competency is identified, a structured learning and assessment program ensures that the candidate acquires the required additional competencies identified as gaps.

Assessor Requirements

This section identifies the specific requirements on the vocational competence and experience for assessors, to ensure that they meet the needs of industry and their obligations under AQTF, and clarifies how others may contribute to the assessment process where one person alone does not hold all the required competencies.

Assessor Competencies

The AQTF specifies mandatory competency requirements for assessors. For information, Element 1.4 from the AQTF 2007 Essential Standards for Registration follows:

1.4 Training and assessment are conducted by trainers and assessors who: have the necessary training and assessment competencies as determined by the National Quality Council or its successors, and have the relevant vocational competencies at least to the level being delivered or assessed, and can demonstrate current industry skills directly relevant to the training/assessment being undertaken, and continue to develop their Vocational Education and Training (VET) knowledge and skills as well as their industry currency and trainer/assessor competence. * See AQTF 2010 Users’ Guide to the Essential Standards for Registration – Appendix 2

Designing Assessment Tools

This section provides an overview on the use and development of assessment tools.

Use of Assessment Tools

Assessment tools provide a means of collecting the evidence that assessors use in making judgements about whether candidates have achieved competency.

There is no set format or process for the design, production or development of assessment tools. Assessors may use prepared assessment tools, such as those specifically developed to support this Training Package, or they may develop their own.

Using Prepared Assessment Tools

If using prepared assessment tools, assessors should ensure these relate to the current version of the relevant unit of competency. The current unit of competency can be checked on the National Register <www.ntis.gov.au>.

Developing Assessment Tools

When developing their own assessment tools, assessors must ensure that the tools:

are benchmarked against the relevant unit or units of competency;

are reviewed as part of the validation of assessment strategies required under the AQTF; and

meet the assessment requirements expressed in the AQTF 2010 Essential Standards for Initial and Continuing Registration.

A key reference for assessors developing assessment tools is TAE10 Training and Education Training Package.

Language, Literacy and Numeracy

The design of assessment tools must reflect the language, literacy and numeracy competencies required for the performance of a task in the workplace and not exceed these expectations.

Conducting Assessment

This section details the mandatory assessment requirements and provides information on equity in assessment including reasonable adjustment.

Mandatory Assessment Requirements

Assessments must meet the criteria set out in the AQTF 2010 Essential Standards for Initial and Continuing Registration. For information, the mandatory assessment requirements from Standard 1 from the AQTF 2010 Essential Standards for Initial and Continuing Registration are as follows:

1.5 Assessment, including Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL): meets the requirements of the relevant Training Package or accredited course is conducted in accordance with the principles of assessment and the rules of evidence meets workplace and, where relevant, regulatory requirements is systematically validated.

Assessment of Employability Skills

Employability Skills are integral to workplace competency. As such, they must be considered in the design, customisation, delivery and assessment of vocational education and training programs in an integrated and holistic way, as represented diagrammatically below.

Employability Skills are embedded within each unit of competency, and an Employability Skills Summary is available for each qualification. Training providers must use Employability Skills information in order to design valid and reliable training and assessment strategies. This analysis could include:

reviewing units of competency to locate relevant Employability Skills and determine how they are applied within the unit

analysing the Employability Skills Summary for the qualification in which the unit or units are packaged to help clarify relevant industry and workplace contexts and the application of Employability Skills at that qualification outcome

designing training and assessment to address Employability Skills requirements.

The National Quality Council has endorsed a model for assessing and reporting Employability Skills, which contains further suggestions about good practice strategies in teaching, assessing, learning and reporting Employability Skills. The model is available from <http://www.training.com.au/>.

The endorsed approach includes learners downloading qualification specific Employability Skills Summaries for Training Package qualifications from an online repository at <http://employabilityskills.training.com.au>

For more information on Employability Skills in

Forest and Forest Product Training Packages go to the ForestWorks ISC website at www.forestworks.com.au http://www..

Employability Skills are reported on each qualification using the following statement on the qualification testamur: "A summary of the Employability Skills developed through this qualification can be downloaded from http://employabilityskills.training.com.au "

Access and Equity

An individual's access to the assessment process should not be adversely affected by restrictions placed on the location or context of assessment beyond the requirements specified in this Training Package: training and assessment must be bias-free.

Under the rules for their development, Training Packages must reflect and cater for the increasing diversity of Australia’s VET clients and Australia’s current and future workforce. The flexibilities offered by Training Packages should enhance opportunities and potential outcomes for all people so that we can all benefit from a wider national skills base and a shared contribution to Australia’s economic development and social and cultural life.

Reasonable Adjustments

It is important that education providers take meaningful, transparent and reasonable steps to consult, consider and implement reasonable adjustments for students with disability.

Under the Disability Standards for Education 2005, education providers must make reasonable adjustments for people with disability to the maximum extent that those adjustments do not cause that provider unjustifiable hardship. While ‘reasonable adjustment’ and ‘unjustifiable hardship’ are different concepts and involve different considerations, they both seek to strike a balance between the interests of education providers and the interests of students with and without disability.

An adjustment is any measure or action that a student requires because of their disability, and which has the effect of assisting the student to access and participate in education and training on the same basis as students without a disability. An adjustment is reasonable if it achieves this purpose while taking into account factors such as the nature of the student’s disability, the views of the student, the potential effect of the adjustment on the student and others who might be affected, and the costs and benefits of making the adjustment.

An education provider is also entitled to maintain the academic integrity of a course or program and to consider the requirements or components that are inherent or essential to its nature when assessing whether an adjustment is reasonable. There may be more than one adjustment that is reasonable in a given set of circumstances; education providers are required to make adjustments that are reasonable and that do not cause them unjustifiable hardship.

The Training Package Guidelines provides more information on reasonable adjustment, including examples of adjustments. Go to http://www.deewr.gov.au/tpdh/Pages/home.aspx .

Assessment Resources

Registered training organisations (RTOs) are at the forefront of vocational education and training (VET) in Australia. They translate the needs of industry into relevant, quality, client-focussed training and assessment.

RTOs should strive for innovation in VET teaching and learning practices and develop highly flexible approaches to assessment which take cognisance of specific needs of learners, in order to improve delivery and outcomes of training.
