History

History
MEA07 Version 3 The Australian Defence Force (ADF) sought the development of a qualification and units of competency for the maintenance of aircraft egress and armament stores suspension and management systems and system components. To achieve this: one specialist technical stream unit was developed from a unit in the Public Safety Training Package others were adapted from existing ADF Enterprise Units and added to relevant existing common units and Avionic and Mechanical Technical Stream units to meet the ADF training/employment requirement The qualification is MEA41210 Certificate IV in Aeroskills (Armament) and the applicable new units of competency are: MEA601A Maintain aircraft egress systems MEA602A Remove and install aircraft stores management system components MEA603A Remove and install aircraft stores suspension systems and components MEA604A Inspect, test and troubleshoot aircraft stores management systems and components MEA605A Inspect, test and troubleshoot aircraft stores suspension systems and components The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and a representative group of industry stakeholders have developed a proposed licensing structure for the maintenance of small aircraft. As part of this process additional units of competency have been developed that are required to effectively cover small aircraft maintenance needs. While qualifications that will support the licensing system must await final decisions on regulatory requirements, it has been possible to add the new units to existing qualifications at Certificate IV level as additional electives. This will enable training pathways that are applicable to small aircraft maintenance organisations. These units are: MEA274A Maintain basic light aircraft electrical systems and components MEA275A Maintain basic light aircraft instrument systems and components MEA276A Maintain basic aircraft communication and radio navigation systems and components MEA277A Maintain twin engine aircraft electrical systems and components MEA278A Inspect, test and troubleshoot instrument display systems and components MEA279A Inspect, test and troubleshoot full authority digital engine control systems MEA280A Inspect, test and troubleshoot flight management systems and components MEA281A Maintain light aircraft AC powered instrument systems and components MEA289A Maintain basic light aircraft avionic systems and components MEA290A Fit avionic modification sheetmetal components MEA291A Inspect, test and troubleshoot fixed wing single axis autopilot systems and components MEA351A Maintain airframe systems of basic light fixed wing aircraft MEA352A Maintain basic rotary wing aircraft systems MEA353A Maintain basic light aircraft engines and propellers MEA354A Maintain light aircraft pneumatic systems MEA355A Maintain light aircraft air cycle air conditioning systems MEA356A Maintain light piston engine aircraft pressurisation systems MEA357A Inspect, test and repair aircraft fabric surfaces MEA358A Re-cover aircraft fabric surfaces MEA359A Inspect and repair aircraft wooden structures MEA360A Maintain aircraft diesel engines MEA361A Maintain aircraft two stroke petrol engines MEA362A Maintain aircraft vapour cycle air conditioning systems MEA363A Inspect, repair and maintain structures and related components of non-pressurised small aircraft MEA364A Maintain and/or repair small aircraft mechanical components or parts Avionic and Mechanical Certificate IV Component Workshop training pathways and applicable units of competency have been revised as a follow-on task from the development of MEA07 to overcome identified industry difficulties in attaining existing units and qualifications. The new units are: MEA282A Repair or overhaul aircraft pulse system components MEA283A Repair or overhaul aircraft display, control and distribution system components MEA284A Repair or overhaul aircraft instrument system components MEA285A Repair or overhaul aircraft radio frequency communication and navigation system components MEA286A Repair or overhaul aircraft electrical/electro-mechanical components MEA287A Repair or overhaul aircraft oxygen system components MEA288A Repair or overhaul aircraft audio and visual systems and reproducers MEA380A Repair and/or overhaul aircraft hydraulic system components MEA381A Repair and/or overhaul aircraft pneumatic system components MEA382A Repair and/or overhaul aircraft fuel system components MEA383A Repair and/or overhaul gas turbine engine air inlet and compressor components and/or modules MEA384A Repair and/or overhaul gas turbine engine combustion section components and/or modules MEA385A Repair and/or overhaul gas turbine engine turbine and exhaust section components MEA386A Repair and/or overhaul gas turbine engine ancillary section components MEA387A Test gas turbine engines and engine modules after overhaul or repair MEA388A Repair and/or overhaul piston engines MEA389A Repair and/or overhaul propellers MEA390A Repair and/or overhaul rotary wing dynamic components MEA391A Repair and/or overhaul aircraft mechanical system components Organisations/individuals consulted during the development of these units and the revised training pathways included: ADF CASA AMROBA Airflite BAE Systems BF Goodrich Hawker Pacific John Holland Aviation Services Pacific Avionics Qantas Raytheon Rosebank Engineering Sikorsky Aircraft Australia (Helitech) TAE Aviation Tenix Mr George Faulkner The Diplomas and Advanced Diplomas of Aviation Maintenance Management have been revised to include in the relevant units references to the forthcoming Civil Aviation Safety Regulation Parts 145 and Part 42 Sub-Part F. Following stakeholder input and CASA agreement the Diplomas of Aeroskills have had the imported units MEM17001B Assist in development and deliver training in the workplace and MEM17002B Conduct workplace assessment deleted and reference to them has also been deleted from unit MEA113B Supervise civil aircraft maintenance activities and manage human resources in the workplace. The qualifications have had their version code updated as MEA50110 Diploma of Aeroskills (Avionic) and MEA50210 Diploma of Aeroskills (Mechanical) and MEA113B becomes MEA113C. Other new units of competency and existing units that have undergone significant revision are: MEA116A Apply occupational health and safety procedures at supervisor level in aviation maintenance has been revised to cover also Certificate IV training pathways that lead to employment as a supervisor and becomes MEA116B MEA145A Conversion from allied trades for employment in aviation maintenance workshops is a new unit for inclusion in specialist Skill Sets that will assist individuals from specified allied trades to attain competencies required for employment in aviation component maintenance workshops MEA202B Remove and install basic aircraft electrical system components has been revised to improve application to small aircraft maintenance and becomes MEA202C MEA210B Inspect, test and troubleshoot basic aircraft electrical systems and components has been revised to improve application to small aircraft maintenance and becomes MEA210C MEA261B Use electronic test equipment has been revised to improve its applicability to a number of enterprises and the unit becomes MEA261C MEA303B has been revised to include environmental regulatory requirements specific to halon fire extinguishers and the unit becomes MEA303C MEA365A Assess structural repair/modification requirements and evaluate structural repairs and modifications is a new unit that replaces MEA324B following requests to change the level of NDT coverage in MEA324B. MEM24002B and 24012B have also been deleted. MEA366A Perform borescope inspections is a new unit that meets a CASA requirement for the grant of a specific maintenance authority. A number of existing MEA units have also had their knowledge statements expanded to improve their usability in the General Aviation sector once the Aeroskills Training Package becomes the only avenue to aircraft maintenance engineer licensing. These units have had their version identifier incremented but are fully equivalent to the earlier version of the unit. Information on updated units is contained in the mapping of units in version 3 to units in version 2. To comply with government directions regarding attainment of competencies in sustainability the following units have been imported: MSAENV272B Participate in environmentally sustainable work practices MSAENV472B Implement and monitor environmentally sustainable work practices MSAENV672B Develop workplace policy and procedures for environmental sustainability The applicable unit has been added as a mandatory unit to each qualification and this has necessitated a version code update for all qualifications. Skill Sets Inclusion of Skill Sets in the following areas 22 Skill Sets aimed at the preparation of individuals with allied trade qualifications for employment within aviation component workshops 55 Skill Sets that specify CASA requirements for the removal of exclusions from B1 and B2 licences 3 Skill Sets that specify CASA requirements for the grant of specific authorities by CASR Part 145 and 42F MROs

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 Quality Council (NQC).

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.

Where such materials have been quality assured through a process of "noting" by the NQC, they display the following official logo. Noted support materials are listed on the National Training Information Service (NTIS), together with a detailed description and information on the type of product and its availability < www.ntis.gov.au>.

It is not compulsory to submit support materials for noting; any resources that meet the requirements of the Training Package can be used.

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 MEA07. 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 MEA20410. Qualification codes are developed as follows:

• 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. 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. Unit codes are developed as follows:

• a typical code is made up of 12 characters, normally a mixture of uppercase letters and numbers, as in MEA114A;

• the first three characters signify the Training Package - MEA07 - 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.

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 Packages 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:

•	MEA20410 Certificate II in Aeroskills

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:

•	MEA101B Interpret occupational health and safety practices in aviation maintenance.

Historical and General Information

Historical and General Information
Introduction to the MEA07 Aeroskills Training Package Version 3 The MEA07 Aeroskills Training Package is a reviewed Training Package that replaced the MEA97 Aeroskills Training Package Version 4.00. MEA07 introduced a number of new qualifications and Units of Competency, and the training pathways to a number of the qualifications were varied to either increase flexibility, or to align with revised Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) licensing requirements and related transitional arrangements covered by Civil Aviation Order (CAO) 100.66 Instrument 2006. A number of further changes that could not be introduced in MEA07 were foreshadowed for progressive development and introduction in later versions of the Training Package. These were identified as: Transfer of Aircraft Life Support from the Public Safety Training Package Revision of component workshop units of competency, qualifications and training pathways Introduction of qualifications, training pathways and units of competency required to cover the maintenance of small aircraft in the General Aviation industry sector and CASA Aircraft Maintenance Engineer licensing for certification of small aircraft maintenance and release to service after maintenance Coverage of Non-Destructive Testing Coverage of aircraft welding. Version 2 of MEA07 introduced Certificate III and IV qualifications in Aircraft Life Support and Furnishing and also covered a number of changes required to support CASA changes to the A, B1 and B2 Aircraft Maintenance Engineer licence privileges and required knowledge. Version 3 introduces a Certificate IV qualification in Armament plus applicable technical stream units of competency that were sought by the ADF and covers maintenance of aircraft egress systems, stores suspension and stores management systems. Preparation, loading and maintenance of explosive ordnance and missiles is not covered and will remain with the Public Safety Training Package. Also included in Version 3 are: Revised component maintenance workshop units and qualification pathways Avionic and Mechanical small aircraft maintenance units of competency that were developed in concert with the CASA B3 Team which included broad representation of General Aviation stakeholders (qualifications specific to this industry sector cannot be included until CASA makes a final decision on the future licence structure for small aircraft maintenance) Sustainability units of competency have been added as an additional mandatory unit to all qualifications in line with government direction Revised Aircraft Maintenance Management units and qualifications in which updated references to Civil Aviation Safety Regulations have been included Update of some units in line with requests from industry stakeholders, Regulators and RTOs Skill Sets that are required to meet evolving regulatory requirements The inclusion of Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and Aircraft Welding is not yet possible. The Standards that underpin NDT are under review and the outcome may impact on the draft qualifications, units and Skill Sets. Draft aircraft welding units of competency and Skill Sets have been developed in consultation with CASA and the ADF, but their inclusion in MEA07 has to await the finalisation of the relevant CASA Manual of Standards and Acceptable Means of Compliance. The draft MEA07 Version 3 has been processed through the standard MSC processes involving quality and equity reviews, review by State Training Authorities and by the Aerospace Education and Training Reference Group.

Introduction to the MEA07 Aeroskills Training Package

Introduction to the Industry
The Australian Aerospace Industry Aviation Maintenance Sector The MEA07 Aeroskills Training Package covers the Aviation Maintenance Sector of the Australian Aerospace Industry. This sector covers maintenance performed on aircraft and their components in support of both civil and military aviation by a workforce of about 15,000 civilian and ADF personnel. On the civil side, the workforce ranges from airlines employing large numbers of maintenance personnel to medium and small general aviation organisations that may employ as few as two or three individuals. In both the airline and general aviation areas there are third party maintenance organisations that support aircraft operators on a contractual basis. Again, these organisations vary in size from hundreds of maintenance personnel down to organisations with fewer than 10 personnel. Some maintenance organisations maintain both aircraft and their components while others maintain either complete aircraft or a range of aircraft components. Military aviation consists of the three Services of the ADF where maintenance work is performed by uniformed personnel, plus a large network of contractors with civilian workforces that perform the deeper maintenance of most aircraft types and most component maintenance. The defence contractors are typically large aerospace organisations, or subsidiaries thereof. Many have a number of contracts and operate from a number of sites that may be geographically remote from one another. Those involved in the maintenance of civil aircraft work under an extensive range of regulations that are aimed at ensuring a high level of flight safety and rely on licensed and specifically authorised individuals for the certification of maintenance. Those involved in the maintenance of State (military) aircraft and their components operate under a range of ADF regulations and standards that are also aimed at ensuring a high level of flight safety. Under the ADF system the certification of maintenance is based on task authorisation and levels of maintenance quality inspection. In both cases, the level of regulation relates to the old adage in aviation maintenance that "in the air you can’t get out and fix something that has gone wrong and seemingly minor maintenance errors can have catastrophic consequences". The importance of safe and efficient aviation services to the national economy cannot be overstated. Aviation is of considerable importance in the use of often complex and very expensive equipment for the rapid transportation of people and cargo, in the provision of aerial work services to agriculture and in fire fighting. Military aviation is of considerable importance to national defence, and in the provision of services to the community at times of national disaster. Aviation maintenance is thus a key national industry sector. It is diverse, highly technical and uses advanced technologies. It operates in a multi-billion dollar capital equipment environment and high quality and maximum safety requirements and standards are critical.

Qualifications Framework

The Australian 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/AQF_Handbook_07.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.

AQF Guidelines and Learning Outcomes

The AQF Implementation Handbook provides a comprehensive guideline for each AQF qualification. A summary of the learning outcome characteristics and their distinguishing features for each VET related AQF qualification is provided below.

Qualification Pathways

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 Manufacturing Industry Skills Council ( http://www.mskills.com.au).

The Aeroskills Training Package Qualifications

The MEA07 Aeroskills Training Package Version 3 includes national qualifications at Certificate II, Certificate III, Certificate IV, Diploma and Advanced Diploma levels. The Training Package provides national qualification outcomes based on recognition of competency achievement as specified under the Competency Standards section of this Training Package. These qualifications can be accessed through traineeship and apprenticeship pathways, or through other pathways that do not involve a contract of training, such as recognition of prior learning.

Packaging units of competency for a qualification

Qualifications may be achieved in a number of ways, but regardless of how they are attained, they must be based on the achievement of a package of competency standards.

Each qualification is made up of mandatory and elective common and technical stream units:

the common units and mandatory technical stream units for each qualification ensure the integrity of the qualification and effective alignment with Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and Australian Defence Force (ADF) regulatory requirements

the ability to select from a range of elective units provides flexibility

The units of competency to be achieved for each qualification have been determined in consultation with industry and the Regulators (CASA and the ADF). Any RTO issuing a qualification will need to comply with this framework. However, RTOs are encouraged to offer flexible learning delivery formats to suit industry needs (what is taught, how, when, where delivered etc).

People with experience in related industries such as Manufacturing, Engineering, Automotive and Electrotechnology may be able to achieve competence in component workshop units from the Aerospace Industry Competency Standards with limited levels of ‘gap’ training and experience. In Version 3 this process is facilitated through a common "conversion" unit of competency and a number of Skill Sets relating to specific component workshop employment areas.

Certificate II Aeroskills qualifications

The MEA07 Aeroskills Training Package includes the following qualifications at Certificate II level:

MEA20410 Certificate II in Aeroskills

MEA20510 Certificate II in Aircraft Line Maintenance

MEA20610 Certificate II in Aircraft Surface Finishing

MEA20410 Certificate II in Aeroskills

The MEA20410 Certificate II in Aeroskills articulates with, and provides credit towards, the Aeroskills Training Package ‘trade’ qualifications at AQF Certificate IV level with common units given full recognition at the higher level. The elective units may provide partial credit towards related higher level units as people progress from AQFII to the higher qualification. The relationship between the AQFII and AQFIV elective units is as follows:

MEA20410 Units of Competency	Related AQFIV Units of Competency
MEA238B Perform routine removal and installation of miscellaneous aircraft electrical hardware/components	MEA201B Remove and install miscellaneous aircraft electrical hardware/components
MEA239B Fabricate aircraft electrical looms and harnesses	MEA246C Fabricate and/or repair aircraft electrical hardware or parts

MEA406B Repair/modify aircraft non-primary structural sheetmetal components	MEA403B Repair/modify aircraft structure
MEA407B Repair/modify aircraft non-primary structural non-metallic components	MEA405B Repair/modify aircraft composite material structure/components

The MEA20410 Certificate II in Aeroskills has a set of packaging rules that provide multiple pathways in three technical areas of Avionics, Mechanical and Structures. This design promotes the achievement of a multi-skilled qualification that can directly lead to the three established aircraft ‘trade’ areas and provide the maximum credit transfer.

The qualification has been designed to allow maximum flexibility to enable enterprises to choose the most appropriate pathway/s for their needs. The technical focus and application of the qualification achieved by each learner can be easily determined through reference to the Log of Industrial Experience and Achievement.

To achieve a MEA20410 Certificate II in Aeroskills, both common and elective units must be completed. The technical units are presented in ways such that the qualification will have a dominant technical area (a primary area of Avionic, Mechanical or Structures) and a complementary supporting component (the ‘minor’ component).

The ‘major’ and ‘minor’ components of the qualification must be drawn from different technical areas.

Common units	+	technical units (major component)	+	technical unit (minor component)	=	Certificate II in Aeroskills MEA20410

MEA20510 Certificate II in Aircraft Line Maintenance

This qualification was developed to meet CASA requirements for the grant of an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer A Licence (A1, A2, A3 or A4) in accordance with Civil Aviation Safety Regulation (CASR) Part 66, and with transitional arrangements under CAO 100.66, in accordance with which maintenance authorities equivalent to the A licences may be granted. The qualification requirements must be met also in accordance with the requirements of CAO 100.66 pending the issue of CASR Part 66, including full coverage of CASA syllabus requirements as listed in Appendix 1. Training delivery is also required to be in accordance with CAO 100.66 requirements pending the issue of CASR Part 147.

Because of the need to comply with licensing requirements there is no flexibility in the selection of units, other than for the purpose of meeting the specified requirements for the grant of an A1, A2, A3 or A4 maintenance authority/licence.

Advice to contact CASA for authoritative information on licensing requirements

Selected units of competency and qualifications in this Training Package have been designed to satisfy draft requirements proposed by CASA for Licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineers under the proposed Civil Aviation Safety Regulation Part 66, and to comply with the transitional arrangements covered by CAO 100.66.

Training programs will allow entry to optional licensing pathways leading to both trade recognition and Diploma-level preparation for CASA interim maintenance authorities/ licensing. These programs will be conducted by Registered Training Organisations which will also have complementary CASA approval as maintenance training organisations under CAO 100.66 and eventually the proposed Civil Aviation Safety Regulation Part 147.

This Aeroskills Training Package publication provides advisory information based on discussions with CASA, including their anticipated future requirements. All possible care has been taken in the preparation of this material however persons should not rely solely on this publication on matters involving CASA's current or proposed licensing requirements or arrangements.

Precise information on licensing, current and proposed compliance requirements can be obtained from CASA on telephone 131 757 or at www.casa.gov.au.

The MEA20510 Certificate II in Aircraft Line Maintenance articulates with, and provides credit towards, the Aeroskills Training Package ‘trade’ qualifications at AQF Certificate IV level with common units given full recognition at the higher level. The elective units may be credited as follows:

MEA20510 elective units	Possible credit

MEA20610 Certificate II in Aircraft Surface Finishing

This qualification was developed to meet industry and ADF requirements for qualifications and competencies to cover the surface finishing of aircraft and aircraft components. There is a limited degree of flexibility in the selection of units to cover a range of multi-skilling activities required by industry organisations.

The MEA20610 Certificate II in Aircraft Surface Finishing articulates with, and provides credit towards, the surface finishing qualifications at Certificate III and IV levels. In addition, the common core units and electives that provide multi-skilling would provide significant credit towards other Aeroskills Training Package qualifications at AQF Certificate II level. The elective units may be credited as follows:

MEA20610 elective units	Possible credit
MEA330B Dismantle, inspect, maintain and assemble aircraft non-primary structural removable components or parts and internal fittings	Full credit towards MEA20410 Certificate II in Aeroskills
MEA406B Repair/modify aircraft non-primary structural sheetmetal components	Full credit towards MEA20410 Certificate II in Aeroskills
MEA407B Repair/modify aircraft non-primary structural non-metallic components	Full credit towards MEA20410 Certificate II in Aeroskills

Certificate III Aeroskills qualifications

There are two qualifications at Certificate III in the Aeroskills Training Package MEA07 Version 3. They are MEA30110 Certificate III in Aircraft Surface Finishing which was introduced in the Aeroskills Training Package MEA07 Version 1, and MEA30310 Certificate III in Aircraft Life Support and Furnishing which is introduced for the first time in MEA07 Version 2.

MEA30110 Certificate III in Aircraft Surface Finishing

A number of industry organisations and the ADF train and employ aircraft surface finishers. In some cases these individuals are trained from entry level and in other cases they are recruited and converted from automotive spray painting to aircraft surface finishing. The combination of competencies in surface finishing tasks and the level of multi-skilling required by the relevant organisations resulted in MEA30110 Certificate III in Aircraft Surface Finishing.

The MEA30110 Certificate III in Aircraft Surface Finishing articulates with, and provides credit towards, the surface finishing qualification at Certificate IV level. In addition, the common units and unit MEA401B Inspect aircraft structures would provide significant credit towards other Aeroskills Training Package qualifications at AQF Certificate IV level.

MEA30210 Certificate III in Aircraft Life Support and Furnishing

The Certificate III in Aircraft Life Support and Furnishing is based on the Certificate III in Public Safety (Aviation Life Support Maintenance) PUA31706 which was to be deleted from that Training Package after MEA07 Version 2 was implemented. RTOs will be expected to transfer within 12 months from release date of MEA07v2.

In developing the qualification for the Aeroskills Training Package there was extensive consultation with the ADF (for whom PUA31706 was developed), and with the civil aviation maintenance industry which resulted in the coverage of aircraft furnishing maintenance being increased. The qualification now covers the maintenance of aircrew equipment (such as helmets, oxygen masks, anti-G suits and immersion suits), parachutes, survival vests for aircrew and passengers, life rafts, aircraft internal fittings and soft furnishings. In the case of soft furnishings, both fabrication and maintenance is covered. Multi-skilling is also provided for in the inspection and repair of non-structural metallic and non-metallic components, and for limited maintenance of electrical and electronic systems and components in seats and pods.

The Certificate III in Aircraft Life Support and Furnishing fully articulates towards the Certificate IV in Aircraft Life Support and Furnishing. It also includes a number of common units of competency that are common to other qualifications at Certificate III and Certificate IV levels. The relationship between the units required for this qualification and those applicable to the Certificate III in Public Safety (Aviation Life Support Maintenance) PUA31706 is as follows:

MEA30210 Units	PUA31706 Units

Certificate IV Aeroskills qualifications

The Aeroskills Training Package MEA07 includes six Certificate IV qualifications:

MEA40610 Certificate IV in Aeroskills (Avionics)

MEA40710 Certificate IV in Aeroskills (Mechanical)

MEA40810 Certificate IV in Aeroskills (Structures)

MEA40910 Certificate IV in Aircraft Surface Finishing

MEA41110 Certificate IV in Aircraft Life Support and Furnishing

MEA41210 Certificate IV in Aeroskills (Armament)

Certificate IV qualifications outcomes

The Certificate IV qualifications in Aeroskills contained in the MEA07 Aeroskills Training Package Version 3 specify competencies required for trade-level outcomes in maintenance, repair and overhaul for the aerospace engineering industry. They have been structured to produce a competent base-level aerospace engineering technician; the level expected on completion of an aerospace apprenticeship in Avionics, Mechanical, Structures or Armament streams, or following training beyond trade level in Aircraft Surface Finishing or in Aircraft Life Support and Furnishing. Traineeship pathways are also included, enabling the greatest possible access to careers in the aerospace industry.

Credit transfer and articulation

Details of credit transfer and articulation from Certificate II and III levels to Certificate IV have already been provided. Where credit cannot be allocated on a whole unit basis, the relationship with Certificate IV level units will be clearly mapped and identified in separate documentation at a later date. This will assist learners, enterprises and RTOs in realising the greatest possible efficiencies in terms of learning and skills acquisition.

A separate mapping exercise to document the level of credit transfer available from, and to, competencies under other related industry Training Packages, such as Metal and Engineering, Electrotechnology and Automotive, towards the Aeroskills Certificate IV qualifications has resulted in the development of a common "conversion" unit and a number of Skill Sets that are introduced in Version 3. These Skill Sets lead to employment in component maintenance workshops and meet regulatory requirements for maintenance organisations to be able to demonstrate the attainment of competencies required for employment on specific types of component maintenance.

The Certificate IV qualifications articulate with, and provide credit towards, the qualifications at Diploma and Advanced Diploma levels. This provides avenues to meeting the full CASA requirements for the grant of B1 and B2 licences, and to prepare individuals to work in maintenance management and maintenance-related integrated logistic support activities within both the ADF and CASA regulatory environments.

The MEA41210 Certificate IV in Aeroskills (Armament) is somewhat different since, at present, training is available only to trainees who have enlisted in the RAAF and ongoing career development involves, in part, the attainment of additional qualifications from the Public Safety Training Package that cover weapons and explosive ordnance.

Certificate IV structure and packaging rules

Each Certificate IV qualification is comprised of common units (common to all qualifications), mandatory technical stream units required for regulatory compliance and elective technical units that provide the greatest possible degree of flexibility.

Common units: Some common units are obligatory in all Aeroskills qualifications that relate to workers directly involved in aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul. They cover ‘job enabling and job readiness skills’ and support the achievement of the technical competencies.

Technical units: These are divided into the technical streams of Avionics, Mechanical, Structures, Aircraft Surface Finishing, Aircraft Life Support and Furnishing and Armament.

The structure of each qualification can be represented in a generic form as follows:

Common units	+	Technical stream units	=	Certificate IV

Diploma level Aeroskills qualifications

The MEA07 Aeroskills Training Package includes four Diploma level qualifications:

MEA50110 Diploma of Aeroskills (Avionics)

MEA50210 Diploma of Aeroskills (Mechanical)

MEA50310 Diploma of Aviation Maintenance Management (Avionics)

MEA50410 Diploma of Aviation Maintenance Management (Mechanical)

The two Diplomas of Aeroskills provide competency pathways which cover a combination of Certificate IV and "beyond trade" Diploma-level competencies that together fully meet proposed CASA licensing requirements for the B1 (MEA50210 refers) and B2 (MEA50110 refers) licences and equivalent interim maintenance authorities that may be granted under CAO 100.66. Individuals who obtain one of these Diplomas under the training provisions of CASR Part 147 or the transitional provisions of CAO 100.66 and having met the CASR Part 66 (or those included in CAO 100.66) licensing syllabus requirements as shown in Appendix 1 will have met the specified criteria for the grant of the applicable licence or equivalent maintenance authority.

The two Diplomas of Aviation Maintenance Management provide para-professional qualifications that meet aviation maintenance industry needs for junior maintenance managers and for employment in maintenance-related integrated logistic support activities within either the ADF or CASA regulatory systems.

CASA regulatory review timetable

CASA has issued CAO 100.66 to provide transition of the industry to the B1 and B2 licence system and the Regulations are expected to be enacted in the near future. The material used to develop the Diploma of Aeroskills pathways was taken initially from the European Aviation Safety Authority Regulations and associated means of compliance that are the basis for the revised CASA regulations, and more recently from CAO 100.66.

Conversion of licensees from the old CASR 31 system to the Part 66 B1 and B2 licences will soon begin and the process is supported by a range of Skill Sets introduced with Version 3 that specify the competencies required for the removal of a range of licence exclusions that will be necessary at the time of licence conversion.

A revised licensing system for use in the General Aviation sector is still under development. However, small aircraft maintenance units of competency that have been developed during this process are included in Version 3 as electives to the existing Certificate IV qualifications to both provide stakeholders with the ability to structure training pathways that suit small aircraft maintainers, and to support the process of conversion from the CAR 31 licensing system to the CASR Part 66 licences. Qualifications that lead to small aircraft maintenance licences are expected to be included in the next version of the Aeroskills Training Package.

Advice to contact CASA for authoritative information on licensing requirements

Selected units of competency and qualifications in this Training Package have been designed to satisfy draft requirements proposed by CASA for Licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineers under the proposed Civil Aviation Safety Regulation Part 66, and to comply with the transitional arrangements covered by CAO 100.66.

Training programs will allow entry to optional licensing pathways leading to both trade recognition and Diploma-level preparation for CASA interim maintenance authorities/ licensing. These programs will be conducted by Registered Training Organisations which will also have complementary CASA approval as maintenance training organisations under CAO 100.66 and eventually the proposed Civil Aviation Safety Regulation Part 147.

This Aeroskills Training Package publication provides advisory information based on discussions with CASA, including their anticipated future requirements. All possible care has been taken in the preparation of this material however persons should not rely solely on this publication on matters involving CASA's current or proposed licensing requirements or arrangements.

Precise information on licensing, current and proposed compliance requirements can be obtained from CASA on telephone 131 757 or at www.casa.gov.au.

Credit transfer and articulation

The Certificate IV qualifications in Aeroskills in Avionics and Mechanical (MEA40610 and MEA40710) articulate with or provide substantial credit towards the four Diploma level qualifications MEA50110 Diploma of Aeroskills (Avionics), MEA50210 Diploma of Aeroskills (Mechanical), MEA50310 Diploma of Aviation Maintenance Management (Avionics) and MEA50410 Diploma of Aviation Maintenance Management (Mechanical).

The MEA40810 Certificate IV in Aeroskills (Structures), MEA40910 Certificate IV in Aircraft Surface Finishing and MEA41110 Certificate IV in Aircraft Life Support and Furnishing qualifications do not articulate with the Diplomas, but individuals with one of those qualifications would be entitled to credit for a number of common Units of Competency.

Qualification structure – flexibility

In the case of the two Diplomas of Aeroskills, flexibility is limited by the requirement to precisely meet the specified licensing criteria of CASR Part 66.

However, in the case of the Diplomas of Aviation Maintenance Management there is considerable flexibility so that organisations and individuals can tailor the qualification to either maintenance management or specialist employment in maintenance-related integrated logistic support areas in either the ADF or CASA regulatory environment.

Training and qualifications pathways including Apprenticeships

The new Diploma qualifications can be accessed through apprenticeship pathways, through a traineeship or through later post-graduate study. In the case of the Diplomas of Aviation Maintenance Management the qualifications could be also accessed through direct entry onto a course run by an RTO. These qualifications may also be achieved through a process of recognition of prior learning.

Details of indicative training pathways (or competency profiles) will be made available for use by enterprises, RTOs, NACs etc. as part of the non-endorsed Training Package information. These pathways cover different job types including options providing licensing preparation. However, it is stressed that they are intended for illustrative purposes and should not be viewed as limiting. A diagram showing the various pathways to all qualifications in the Aeroskills Training Package may be found at the end of this section.

Structure and packaging rules

The two Diplomas of Aeroskills provide competency pathways which include specified embedded ‘trade’ competency units meeting requirements for Certificate IV and new ‘beyond trade’ licensing requirements which combine to fully meet proposed CASA requirements for issue of particular LAME licences as specified under CASR Part 66.

Each Diploma qualification (avionics or mechanical) is comprised of common units of competency (common to both qualifications) and specified elective technical stream units. Both core and technical streams include new additional ‘beyond trade’ obligatory subsets of units supporting achievement of the particular LAME licence sought.

Common units: The common units include those obligatory units common to other Aeroskills qualifications, with an additional obligatory subset of common units supporting achievement of ‘beyond trade’ diploma level CASA licensing requirements.

Technical units: These are divided into two technical streams of Avionics and Mechanical. The Avionics and Mechanical technical stream units specified for the Diploma qualifications are those designed to suit various optional licensing pathways. They describe work role activities performed in a hangar or on the tarmac or flight line (as part of the ‘trade’ skills profile for an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer, AME). Additionally there is also an obligatory subset of technical units (having avionics or mechanical focus as required) supporting achievement of CASA ‘beyond trade’ licensing requirements.

The structure of each qualification can be represented in a generic form as follows:

Specified Certificate IV requirements	+	Specified Licensing requirements	=	Diploma of Aeroskills

The two Diplomas of Aviation Maintenance Management consist of a number of common para-professional units that apply to both qualifications, plus some that are chosen according to the intended area of employment. In addition, there are a number of imported elective para-professional engineering units. Also provided are a number of preliminary units that must be attained where the individual is not articulating from MEA40610 Certificate IV in Aeroskills (Avionics) or MEA40710 Certificate IV in Aeroskills (Mechanical).

The structure of each qualification can be represented in a generic form as follows:

Preliminary units (if required)	+	Applicable common units	+	Elective engineering units	=	Diploma of Aviation Maintenance Management

Advanced Diploma level Aeroskills qualifications

The MEA07V3 Aeroskills Training Package includes two Advanced Diploma level qualifications:

MEA60110 Advanced Diploma of Aviation Maintenance Management (Avionics)

MEA60210 Advanced Diploma of Aviation Maintenance Management (Mechanical)

These qualifications provide competencies required to work at the higher para-professional and maintenance manager levels in civil aviation maintenance organisations operating under both the CASA and the ADF airworthiness regulatory systems, and within the ADF. Through selection of elective units within the framework of the packaging rules for each qualification individuals and organisations can adapt the qualifications for employment as managers within aviation maintenance organisations, or as managers within engineering support organisations dealing with aspects of Integrated Logistic Support (ILS).

Credit transfer and articulation

There are articulation pathways to the MEA60110 Advanced Diploma of Aviation Maintenance Management (Avionics) from the following three qualifications:

MEA50110 Diploma of Aeroskills (Avionics)

MEA50310 Diploma of Aviation Maintenance Management (Avionics)

MEA40610 Certificate IV in Aeroskills (Avionics).

Similarly, there are articulation pathways to MEA60210 Advanced Diploma of Aviation Maintenance Management (Mechanical) from:

MEA50210 Diploma of Aeroskills (Mechanical)

MEA50410 Diploma of Aviation Maintenance Management (Mechanical)

MEA40710 Certificate IV in Aeroskills (Mechanical).

Qualification structure – flexibility

Through appropriate selection of elective units the two Advanced Diplomas can be adapted to prepare individuals for employment in maintenance organisation positions such as Senior Maintenance Manager or Maintenance Controller, or as managers of a range of activities in engineering support organisations such as spares assessing management, repairable item management and aviation maintenance publication management.

Training and qualification pathways

The Advanced Diploma qualifications can be accessed through training provided by an RTO that articulates from either Diploma of Aviation Maintenance Management, either Diploma of Aeroskills or from an applicable Certificate IV in Aeroskills. A direct entry pathway is not available because of regulatory requirements associated with the areas of employment relevant to the qualifications. The qualifications may also be attained wholly or in part through a process of recognition of prior learning.

Structure and packaging rules

The two Advanced Diplomas of Aviation Maintenance Management consist of a number of common para-professional units that apply to both qualifications, plus some that are chosen according to the intended area of employment. In addition, there are a number of imported elective para-professional engineering units that are in either aeronautical or avionic specialist streams. Also provided are a number of preliminary units that must be attained where the individual is not articulating from other MEA07 Version 3 qualifications.

The structure of each qualification can be represented in a generic form as follows:

Applicable common units	+	Elective para-professional engineering units	=	Advanced Diploma of Aviation Maintenance Management

Pathways to a career and Aeroskills qualifications

Note: A pathway for Aeroskills (Armament) at Certificate IV is not shown because the qualification can at present be attained only through enlistment in the RAAF and career progression is entirely within the ADF

Skill Sets in this Training Package

Skill Sets

Definition

Skill sets are defined as single units of competency, or combinations of units of competency from an endorsed Training Package, which link to a licence or regulatory requirement, or defined industry need.

Wording on Statements of Attainment

Skill sets are a way of publicly identifying logical groupings of units of competency which meet an identified need or industry outcome. Skill sets are not qualifications.

Where skill sets are identified in a Training Package, the Statement of Attainment can set out the competencies a person has achieved in a way that is consistent and clear for employers and others. This is done by including the wording "these competencies meet [insert skill set title or identified industry area] need" on the Statement of Attainment. This wording applies only to skill sets that are formally identified as such in the endorsed Training Package. See the 2010 edition of the AQF Implementation Handbook for advice on wording on Statements of Attainment. http://www.aqf.edu.au/Portals/0/Documents/Handbook/AQF_Handbook_07.pdf

Skill Sets in this Training Package

MEA07v3 Skill Sets

The MEA07v3 Skill Sets are in three sections that relate to their purpose, as follows:

Section 1 contains Skill Sets applicable to individuals with relevant allied trade Certificate III or Certificate IV qualifications that provide competencies required for employment in aviation component maintenance workshops operating under either the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) or the Australian Defence Force (ADF) regulatory systems

Section 2 contains Skill Sets that specify CASA requirements for the removal of exclusions from B1 and B2 aircraft maintenance engineer licences

Section 3 contains Skill Sets that specify CASA requirements for the grant of maintenance authorisations to individuals working in CASR Part 145 or Part 42F maintenance organisations

Section 1 – Skill Sets for Employment in Aviation Maintenance Workshops

The Skill Sets in this section have been developed as a means of qualifying individuals from allied trades to work in specific areas of aircraft component repair and overhaul. They could also be used to qualify individuals with Aeroskills AME qualifications to work on component repair and overhaul. Allied trades are as follows:

Allied trades related to avionic and electrical component work are electro-technology, telecommunications and automotive. A metals and engineering background may also qualify where competencies held and work experience is in the electrical and/or electronic fields.

Allied trades related to mechanical component work are automotive and metals and engineering where competencies held and work experience is in mechanical maintenance fields.

Many of the units of competency listed in the Skill Sets have the following common core Aeroskills units as pre-requisites:

MEA101B Interpret occupational health and safety practices in aviation maintenance

MEA103B Plan and organise aviation maintenance work activity

MEA105B Apply quality standards applicable to aviation maintenance processes

MEA107B Interpret and use aviation maintenance industry manuals and specifications

MEA109B Perform basic hand skills, standard trade practices and fundamentals in aviation maintenance

Much of the general content in these units is also covered by units that will be held by individuals in allied trades. To facilitate the movement of such individuals to aviation component workshop employment the parts of these units that are peculiar to Aeroskills have been identified and have been included in MEA145A Conversion from allied trades for employment in aviation maintenance workshops which is listed in each Skill Set. Through attainment of MEA145A individuals may be deemed to be competent in each of the listed common core units.

Section 2 - Skill Sets for Removal of B1 and B2 Licence Exclusions

In the process of transitioning from the CAR 31 aircraft maintenance engineer licensing system to the new CASR Part 66 system many existing CAR 31 licence holders will be granted a B1 or B2 licence with a range of exclusions.

To provide a mechanism for the removal of these exclusions, the Skill Sets in this Section have been developed in consultation with CASA. For the purpose of exclusion removal, they must be delivered by RTOs that also hold Maintenance Training Organisation status under CASR Part 147.

CASA has also issued Airworthiness Advisory Circular AAC 9-66 in which it has been specified that CASA regards the grant of a B1 or B2 licence as signifying that all competencies relating to the specific licence privileges granted are held by the individual. Under these provisions, all holders of a B1 licence may be deemed to hold the following units of competency:

MEA101B Interpret occupational health and safety practices in aviation maintenance

MEA103B Plan and organise aviation maintenance work activity

MEA105B Apply quality standards applicable to aviation maintenance processes

MEA107B Interpret and use aviation maintenance industry manuals and specifications

MEA108B Complete aviation maintenance industry documentation

MEA109B Perform basic hand skills, standard trade practices and fundamentals in aviation maintenance

MEA301B Perform aircraft flight servicing

All holders of a B2 licence may be deemed to hold the following units of competency:

MEA101B Interpret occupational health and safety practices in aviation maintenance

MEA103B Plan and organise aviation maintenance work activity

MEA105B Apply quality standards applicable to aviation maintenance processes

MEA107B Interpret and use aviation maintenance industry manuals and specifications

MEA108B Complete aviation maintenance industry documentation

MEA109B Perform basic hand skills, standard trade practices and fundamentals in aviation maintenance

MEA201B Remove and install miscellaneous aircraft electrical hardware/components

MEA246C Fabricate and/or repair aircraft electrical hardware or parts

MEA260B Use electrical test equipment

For this reason, the above units are not listed against the Skill Sets where they are specified as pre-requisites for listed units.

Where any RPL action is required with regard to any of the units of competency listed in the Skill Sets in this Section, RTOs are encouraged to undertake an efficient RPL assessment (in line with CASA guidance in AAC9-66) to determine required gap training (if any) in order to provide an integrated learning program for the units in the applicable Skill Set.

Employability Skills

Employability Skills replacing Key Competency information from 2006

In May 2005, the approach to incorporate Employability Skills within Training Package qualifications and units of competency was endorsed. As a result, from 2006 Employability Skills will progressively replace Key Competency information in Training Packages.

Background to Employability Skills

Employability Skills are also sometimes referred to as generic skills, capabilities or Key Competencies. The Employability Skills discussed here build on the Mayer Committee's Key Competencies, which were developed in 1992 and attempted to describe generic competencies for effective participation in work.

The Business Council of Australia (BCA) and the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI), produced the Employability Skills for the Future report in 2002 in consultation with other peak employer bodies and with funding provided by the Department of Education, Science and Training (DEST) and the Australian National Training Authority (ANTA). Officially released by Dr Nelson (Minister for Education, Science and Training) on 23 May 2002, copies of the report are available from the DEST website at: http://www.dest.gov.au/archive/ty/publications/employability_skills/index.htm.

The report indicated that business and industry now require a broader range of skills than the Mayer Key Competencies Framework and featured an Employability Skills Framework identifying eight Employability Skills*:

• communication

• teamwork

• problem solving

• initiative and enterprise

• planning and organising

• self-management

• learning

• technology.

The report demonstrated how Employability Skills can be further described for particular occupational and industry contexts by sets of facets. The facets listed in the report are the aspects of the Employability Skills that the sample of employers surveyed identified as being important work skills. These facets were seen by employers as being dependent both in their nature and priority on an enterprise's business activity.

*Personal attributes that contribute to employability were also identified in the report but are not part of the Employability Skills Framework.

Employability Skills Framework

The following table contains the Employability Skills facets identified in the report

Employability Skills for the Future.

Skill	Facets Aspects of the skill that employers identify as important. The nature and application of these facets will vary depending on industry and job type.

Technology that contributes to the effective carrying out of tasks	• having a range of basic IT skills • applying IT as a management tool • using IT to organise data • being willing to learn new IT skills • having the OHS knowledge to apply technology • having the appropriate physical capacity

Employability Skills Summary

An Employability Skills Summary exists for each qualification. Summaries provide a lens through which to view Employability Skills at the qualification level and capture the key aspects or facets of the Employability Skills that are important to the job roles covered by the qualification. Summaries are designed to assist trainers and assessors to identify and include important industry application of Employability Skills in learning and assessment strategies.

The following is important information for trainers and assessors about Employability Skills Summaries.

• Employability Skills Summaries provide examples of how each skill is applicable to the job roles covered by the qualification.

• Employability Skills Summaries contain general information about industry context which is further explained as measurable outcomes of performance in the units of competency in each qualification.

• The detail in each Employability Skills Summary will vary depending on the range of job roles covered by the qualification in question.

• Employability Skills Summaries are not exhaustive lists of qualification requirements or checklists of performance (which are separate assessment tools that should be designed by trainers and assessors after analysis at the unit level).

• Employability Skills Summaries contain information that may also assist in building learners' understanding of industry and workplace expectations.

Industry Requirements for Employability Skills
Aviation maintenance involves dealing with a wide range of technology in a highly regulated environment and consistently working to high standards in order to ensure flight safety. There is therefore a particular emphasis on all areas of employability skills. For example, communication skills are vital to being able to operate in a highly regulated environment with extensive work recording and reporting environments and problem solving across a range of technologies is vital. Also, with ongoing mandatory training associated with many types of aircraft learning a high level of personal commitment thereto is essential.

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/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, assessment or client service must be competent for the functions they perform. 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 Statements 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>.

Licensing/Registration Requirements

This section provides information on licensing/registration requirements for this Training

Package, with the following important disclaimer.

The developers of this Training Package, and DEST, consider that no licensing or registration requirements apply to RTOs, assessors or candidates with respect to this Training Package. Contact the relevant State or Territory Department(s) to check if there are any licensing or registration requirements with which you must comply. For further information on this topic contact Manufacturing Industry Skills Council ( http://www.mskills.com.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, an assessment-only or recognition pathway, or a combination of the two as illustrated in the following diagram.

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, and the AQTF, 2 where relevant, the Australian Qualifications Framework.

Learning and Assessment Pathways

Usually, learning and assessment are integrated, with assessment 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 is delivered by trainers and assessors who:
a)	have the necessary training and assessment competencies as determined by the National Quality Council or its successors, and
b)	have the relevant vocational competencies at least to the level being delivered or assessed, and
c)	can demonstrate current industry skills directly relevant to the training/assessment being undertaken, and
d)	continue developing 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 judgments 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 assessment tools, assessors must ensure that they:

• are benchmarked against the relevant unit or units of competency

• are reviewed as part of the continuous improvement of assessment strategies as required under Standard 1 of the AQTF 2007

• meet the assessment requirements expressed in Standard 1 of 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 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:
a)	meets the requirements of the relevant Training Package or accredited course,
b)	is conducted in accordance with the principles of assessment and the rules of evidence, and
c)	meets workplace and, where relevant, regulatory requirements.
d)	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 and explicit 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 Manufacturing Industry Skills Council Training

Packages go to the Manufacturing Industry Skills Council website at http://www.mskills.com.au. 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.

Resources can be purchased or accessed from: TVET Australia provides an integrated service to enable users of the national training

system to identify and acquire training materials, identify copyright requirements and enter licenses for use of that material consistent with the scope and direction of the NQC. http://www.productservices.tvetaustralia.com.au/

Competency Standards

What is competency?

The broad concept of industry competency concerns the ability to perform particular tasks and duties to the standard of performance expected in the workplace. Competency requires the application of specified skills, knowledge and attitudes relevant to effective participation in an industry, industry sector or enterprise.

Competency covers all aspects of workplace performance and involves performing individual tasks; managing a range of different tasks; responding to contingencies or breakdowns; and, dealing with the responsibilities of the workplace, including working with others. Workplace competency requires the ability to apply relevant skills, knowledge and attitudes consistently over time and in the required workplace situations and environments. In line with this concept of competency Training Packages focus on what is expected of a competent individual in the workplace as an outcome of learning, rather than focussing on the learning process itself.

Competency standards in Training Packages are determined by industry to meet identified industry skill needs. Competency standards are made up of a number of units of competency each of which describes a key function or role in a particular job function or occupation. Each unit of competency within a Training Package is linked to one or more AQF qualifications.

Contextualisation of Units of Competency by RTOs

Registered Training Organisation (RTOs) may contextualise units of competency to reflect local outcomes required. Contextualisation could involve additions or amendments to the unit of competency to suit particular delivery methods, learner profiles, specific enterprise equipment requirements, or to otherwise meet local needs. However, the integrity of the overall intended outcome of the unit of competency must be maintained.

Any contextualisation of units of competency in this endorsed Training Package must be within the bounds of the following advice. In contextualising units of competency, RTOs:

• 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 amendments and additions to the range statement as long as such changes do not diminish the breadth of application of the competency and reduce its portability, and/or

• may add detail to the evidence guide in areas such as the critical aspects of evidence or resources and infrastructure required where these expand the breadth of the competency but do not limit its use.

Components of Units of Competency

The components of units of competency are summarised below, in the order in which they appear in each unit of competency.

Unit Title

The unit title is a succinct statement of the outcome of the unit of competency. Each unit of competency title is unique, both within and across Training Packages.

Unit Descriptor

The unit descriptor broadly communicates the content of the unit of competency and the skill area it addresses. Where units of competency have been contextualised from units of competency from other endorsed Training Packages, summary information is provided. There may also be a brief second paragraph that describes its relationship with other units of competency, and any licensing requirements.

Employability Skills statement

A standard Employability Skills statement appears in each unit of competency. This statement directs trainers and assessors to consider the information contained in the Employability Skills Summary in which the unit of competency is packaged.

Prerequisite Units (optional)

If there are any units of competency that must be completed before the unit, these will be listed.

Application of the Unit

This sub-section fleshes out the unit of competency's scope, purpose and operation in different contexts, for example, by showing how it applies in the workplace.

Competency Field (Optional)

The competency field either reflects the way the units of competency are categorised in the Training Package or denotes the industry sector, specialisation or function. It is an optional component of the unit of competency.

Sector (optional)

The industry sector is a further categorisation of the competency field and identifies the next classification, for example an elective or supervision field.

Elements of Competency

The elements of competency are the basic building blocks of the unit of competency. They describe in terms of outcomes the significant functions and tasks that make up the competency.

Performance Criteria

The performance criteria specify the required performance in relevant tasks, roles, skills and in the applied knowledge that enables competent performance. They are usually written in passive voice. Critical terms or phrases may be written in bold italics and then defined in range statement, in the order of their appearance in the performance criteria.

Required Skills and Knowledge

The essential skills and knowledge are either identified separately or combined. Knowledge identifies what a person needs to know to perform the work in an informed and effective manner. Skills describe the application of knowledge to situations where understanding is converted into a workplace outcome.

Range Statement

The range statement provides a context for the unit of competency, describing essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment, depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts. As applicable, the meanings of key terms used in the performance criteria will also be explained in the range statement.

Evidence Guide

The evidence guide is critical in assessment as it provides information to the Registered Training Organisation (RTO) and assessor about how the described competency may be demonstrated. The evidence guide does this by providing a range of evidence for the

assessor to make determinations, and by providing the assessment context. The evidence guide describes:

• conditions under which competency must be assessed including variables such as the assessment environment or necessary equipment

• relationships with the assessment of any other units of competency

• suitable methodologies for conducting assessment including the potential for workplace simulation

• resource implications, for example access to particular equipment, infrastructure or situations

• how consistency in performance can be assessed over time, various contexts and with a range of evidence, and expectations at the AQF qualification level involved

Employability Skills in units of competency

The detail and application of Employability Skills facets will vary according to the job-role requirements of each industry. In developing Training Packages, industry stakeholders are consulted to identify appropriate facets of Employability Skills which are incorporated into the relevant units of competency and qualifications.

Employability Skills are not a discrete requirement contained in units of competency (as was the case with Key Competencies). Employability Skills are specifically expressed in the context of the work outcomes described in units of competency and will appear in elements, performance criteria, range statements and evidence guides. As a result, users of Training Packages are This Training Package seeks to ensure that industry-endorsed Employability Skills are explicitly embedded in units of competency. The application of each skill and the level of detail included in each part of the unit will vary according to industry requirements and the nature of the unit of competency.

Employability Skills must be both explicit and embedded within units of competency. This means that Employability Skills will be:

• embedded in units of competency as part of the other performance requirements that make up the competency as a whole

• explicitly described within units of competency to enable Training Packages users to identify accurately the performance requirements of each unit with regards to Employability Skills.

This Training Package also seeks to ensure that Employability Skills are well-defined and written into units of competency so that they are apparent, clear and can be delivered and assessed as an essential component of unit work outcomes.

The following table contains examples of embedded Employability Skills for each component of a unit of competency. Please note that in the examples below the bracketed skills are provided only for clarification and will not be present in units of competency within this Training Package.

Example Employability Skills unit

Unit component	Example of embedded Employability Skill
Unit Title	Test and troubleshoot aircraft electrical systems and components (Problem Solving and Technology)
Unit Descriptor	It covers the competencies required to correctly interpret and apply CASA airworthiness and certification requirements during aircraft maintenance. (Communication)
Element	Identify task requirements. (Planning and Organising)
Performance Criteria	Work individually or as a team member to complete maintenance tasks in a timely manner and in accordance with enterprise procedures and requirements. (Communication, Teamwork, Initiative and Enterprise and Self Management)
Range Statement	Troubleshooting involves the use of fault finding charts or similar, to line replacement level. (Communication and Problem Solving)
Required Skills and Knowledge	Applying logic processes, taking and interpreting electrical measurements, using test equipment and appropriate wiring diagrams and manuals to isolate electrical system malfunctions of the above components and systems (Problem Solving, Communication and Technology)

required to review the entire unit of competency in order to accurately determine Employability Skills requirements.

How Employability Skills relate to the Key Competencies

The eight nationally agreed Employability Skills now replace the seven Key Competencies in Training Packages. Trainers and assessors who have used Training Packages prior to the introduction of Employability Skills may find the following comparison useful.

Employability Skills	Mayer Key Competencies
Communication	Communicating ideas and information
Teamwork	Working with others and in teams
Problem solving	Solving problems Using mathematical ideas and techniques
Initiative and enterprise
Planning and organising	Collecting, analysing and organising information Planning and organising activities
Self-management
Learning
Technology	Using technology

When analysing the above table it is important to consider the relationship and natural overlap of Employability Skills. For example, using technology may involve communication skills and combine the understanding of mathematical concepts.

Explicitly embedding Employability Skills in units of competency

This Training Package seeks to ensure that industry-endorsed Employability Skills are explicitly embedded in units of competency. The application of each skill and the level of detail included in each part of the unit will vary according to industry requirements and the nature of the unit of competency.

Employability Skills must be both explicit and embedded within units of competency. This means that Employability Skills will be:

• embedded in units of competency as part of the other performance requirements that make up the competency as a whole

• explicitly described within units of competency to enable Training Packages users to identify accurately the performance requirements of each unit with regards to Employability Skills.

This Training Package also seeks to ensure that Employability Skills are well-defined and written into units of competency so that they are apparent, clear and can be delivered and assessed as an essential component of unit work outcomes.

The following table contains examples of embedded Employability Skills for each component of a unit of competency. Please note that in the examples below the bracketed skills are provided only for clarification and will not be present in units of competency within this Training Package.

(Initiative and Enterprise, Self Management and Learning)

Competency Standards - Industry Contextualisation

Competency Standards - Industry Contextualisation
Structure of the Aerospace Industry Competency Standards Within this Training Package the Units of Competency are divided into two types: Common units – these indicate competencies that apply across the majority of Aeroskills Training Package qualifications at one or more levels of qualification. These units may or may not be mandatory, depending on the individual packaging rules. Technical stream units – these are either mandatory or elective units that relate to individual technical streams and related qualifications. Units may be mandatory in one qualification and elective in another because of regulatory and licensing requirements. The unit numbering system is as follows: Common unit numbers begin with ‘1’, e.g.MEA101B Avionics technical stream units begin with ‘2,’ e.g. MEA201B Mechanical technical stream units begin with ‘3’, e.g. MEA301B Structures technical stream units begin with ‘4’, e.g. MEA401B Aircraft Life Support and Furnishing units begin with ‘5’, e.g. MEA501A Armament units begin with ‘6’, e.g. MEA601A The Units of Competency are arranged in sections in Volume 2 according to the basic groups of Common, Avionics, Mechanical, Structures, Aircraft Life Support and Furnishing, Armament and imported units.

Appendices

Appendices

Appendix 1: Cross Reference to CASA Licensing Syllabus

For the purpose of establishing parity with the licensing system of the European Aviation Safety Authority (EASA) the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) includes in CAO 100.66 and in the proposed Civil Aviation Safety Regulation Part 66 a licensing examination syllabus. Where individuals are seeking the grant of an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer Licence (or interim maintenance authority under the transitional arrangements of CAO 100.66) in Categories A, B1 or B2 it must be demonstrated that the knowledge requirements of the syllabus were fully covered in the underpinning knowledge applicable to the units of competency relevant to the licence sought.

In this Appendix there is a table for each A and B1 Licence, and for the B2 Licence (or the equivalent maintenance authorities) in which syllabus modules and topics applicable to each licence are listed, along with the units of competency that are expected to provide the required knowledge. RTOs operating as Maintenance Training Organisations under Civil Aviation Safety Regulation Part 147 (or CAO 100.66 during the transitional period) are required to ensure that the modules and topics are fully covered in the off-job training applicable to each listed unit of competency.

Refer also to Licensing/Registration Requirements in Section 3 Assessment Guidelines.
