Overview

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 people’s 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; and

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.

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 PUA00. 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 PUA21004. 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. The unit of competency codes are assigned when the Training Package is endorsed, or when new units of competency are added to an existing endorsed Training Package. 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 PUAEMR014A;

the first three characters signify the Training Package – PUA00 Public Safety Training Package – in the above example and up to eight characters, relating to an industry sector, function or skill area, follow;

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

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

Training Package, Qualification and Unit of Competency Titles

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

Training Package Titles

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

Qualification Titles

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

firstly, the qualification is identified as either Certificate I, Certificate II, Certificate III, Certificate IV, Diploma, Advanced Diploma, Vocational Graduate Certificate, 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 follows, for example Public Safety and

if applicable, the occupational or functional stream follows in brackets, for example (Aquatic Rescue) or, where appropriate, other specialisation details.

For example:

PUA21004 Certificate II in Public Safety (Aquatic Rescue)

PUA50200 Diploma of Public Safety (Policing)

PUA31007 Certificate III in Public Safety (Boatswains Mate)

PUA50400 Diploma of Public Safety (SES Operations Management).

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:

PUAOHS002B Maintain safety at an incident scene.

Historical and General Information

The Government Skills Australia (GSA) Public Safety Industry Advisory Committee (IAC) has overseen the development of Version 8 of the PUA00 Public Safety Training Package.

Industry Consultation

The PUA00 Public Safety Training Package has undergone an extensive development, review and validation phase in preparation for its national endorsement initially by the National Training Framework Committee, with the Fire and Defence components being endorsed by the National Training Quality Council.

The sectors included in the Public Safety Training Package are:

Police

Fire

State and Territory Emergency Services

Emergency Management

Defence.

The public safety competencies are divided into five functional areas. The Industry Wide component reflects units of competency common to all sectors and covers common operations such as communication, emergency procedures, judicial compliance, management, occupational health and safety, teamwork, emergency management, and rescue activities. The Industry Wide units of competency form a strong link across the sectors.

The remaining four functional areas specifically focus on the activities of Police, Fire, State and Territory Emergency Service, and Defence. These units are distinctive in operation and provide for varying contexts.

Relevant units of competency have been imported from existing endorsed Training Packages into PUA00 Public Safety Training Package qualifications.

Consultative Process

Each sector manages the consultation process for their sector and undertakes a rigorous consultative process that includes all key stakeholders and interested parties.

The Police and Fire Sectors also involve representatives from New Zealand in the consultation process.

The consultation phase of the Training Package development sought advice from industry on the draft. All feedback provided on the Training Package was considered by the Sector Working Groups and the Project Steering Committee.

The results of the National Validation Process confirmed the Public Safety Training Package reflects the industry sector units of competency and qualifications for each State and Territory. Key stakeholders and interested parties have provided feedback throughout the development and validation process.

Workplace emergency response (WER)

The PS ITAB completed a scoping project in late 2001 that examined the relevance of the Fire and Emergency Response (FER) competency standards endorsed in 1995, the need for qualifications in the area and the need to broaden the applicability of the competency standards to meet the needs of the revised Australian Standard 3745 which now applies to emergency management arrangements in all facilities across Australia.

The FER competency standards were developed in 1994–1995 and endorsed in 1995 by the National Training Board for the period 1995–1999.

Extensive consultations occurred during 2003 within the public safety industry and with other industries to develop generic workplace emergency response units of competency to cover the roles and responsibilities of people working within the emergency control organisation and preparing the facility for the arrival of emergency services personnel or the organisation’s specialist response teams where they exist.

The WER units of competency demonstrate a clear and explicit relationship to the emergencies as detailed in Australian Standard 3745—2002: Emergency control organization and procedures for buildings, structures and workplaces.

Public Safety Industry

The Public Safety Industry comprises Police, Fire, State and Territory Emergency Services, Emergency Management and Defence sectors. The Public Safety Training Package provides units of competency and qualifications, which cover approximately 579,000 personnel employed/deployed by State/Territory and Commonwealth departments.

Sector	Staff	Volunteers
Police	53,912	-
Fire	17,000	270,000
State and Territory Emergency Services	310	40,000
Other Groups – Surf Lifesaving Australia	101,374
Defence	50,868	20,150 (Reservist) 25,000 (Cadets)
Sub Total	122,090	456,524

The organisations that comprise these sectors undertake functions that are determined by State/Territory and Commonwealth legislation and policy frameworks. In the case of Police, Fire, and State and Territory Emergency Service the functions are not always consistent nationally and can vary between States and Territories.

Additionally, the role and functions of Police are to:

maintain public order and safety

enforce the law

prevent crime, public disorder and emergency incidents

assist the community.

The roles and functions of Public Safety personnel in relation to emergency response capacities fall into four main categories:

Prevention/mitigation

Preparation

Response

Recovery.

To varying extents, all Public Safety personnel undertake duties in relation to these categories. The mix and level of such functions will depend on the type of agency and the nature of the positions within agencies.

Public Safety Emergency Response Agencies direct a considerable proportion of training effort to ‘preparation’ for events/incidents that most people hope will never occur. When these event/incidents do occur, the response is both time critical and potentially life threatening to both Public Safety personnel and members of the public.

Preliminary Information

Important Note to Users

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

Check the version number before commencing training or assessment

This Training Package is Version 8.1– check whether this is the latest version by going to the National Training Information Service (www.ntis.gov.au) and locating information about the Training Package. Alternatively, contact Government Skills Australia www.governmentskills.com.au http://www.governmentskills.com.au to confirm the latest version number.

Explanation of version number conventions

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

Explanation of the review date

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

DUPLICATED UNITS The following old EMR, OPE and SAR units have equivalent new units as shown. Some sectors are not ready to use the new units so as a transitional arrangement those sectors of industry ready to use the new units should do so, while sectors that are not ready should continue to use the old units. Contact Government Skills Australia www.governmentskills.com.au for more information. NOTE: Where both old and new units are available as electives in a qualification, only one of the two may be chosen. For example, if both the new unit PUAOPE012A Control a Level 1 incident AND the old unit PUAOPE001B Supervise response are available as electives in a qualification, either PUAOPE012A may be completed or PUAOPE001B, but not both.

Public Safety Qualifications

Public Safety Qualifications

In structuring qualifications in the Public Safety Training Package the approach has been to identify core competency standards which are essential to achieving the qualification together with elective units to provide choice and flexibility. The qualification framework devised provides a balance between achieving the requirements set by the industry and its sectors which demonstrate competency in the area of work covered by the qualification and the need to provide for maximum flexibility.

Units of competency have been packaged and aligned to a specific qualification within the Australian Qualification Framework (AQF) to establish the qualification level and title.

An Overview of the Public Safety Qualifications Framework

Qualifications in Public Safety have been devised to provide maximum recognition, flexibility and portability for persons employed full-time or part-time or in a voluntary capacity in the Public Safety industry.

The qualifications framework identifies and incorporates national sector specific qualifications and Industry Wide qualifications.

Industry Wide Qualifications

The industry wide qualifications range from Certificate II to Advanced Diploma and cover:

aquatic search and rescue

emergency communications centre operations

community safety

leadership

search and rescue.

Flexibility has been maximised in the qualifications by using a core plus elective model. The community safety qualifications have two groups of electives: Group A has a public safety focus while Group B covers generic PSTP units and imported units.

The flexibility of the community safety qualifications allows for specialisation in the areas of community education, community liaison, buildings and facilities inspection, compliance audits, and workplace emergency response (since the workplace emergency response units are electives in the community safety qualifications).

The following matrix indicates where the workplace emergency response units sit in terms of prevention, workplace evacuation and initial response.

Workplace Emergency Response Units of Competency

PREVENTION	WORKPLACE EVACUATION	INITIAL RESPONSE
PUAWER003B Manage and monitor workplace emergency procedures equipment and other resources	PUAWER007B Manage an emergency control organisation	PUAWER011B Manage workplace emergency initial response teams
PUAWER006B Lead an emergency control organisation	PUAWER010B Lead a workplace emergency initial response team
PUAWER002B Ensure workplace emergency prevention procedures, systems and processes are implemented	PUAWER005B Operate as part of an emergency control organisation	PUAWER009B Participate as a member of a workplace emergency initial response team
PUAWER001B Identify, prevent and report potential workplace emergency situations	PUAWER004B Respond to workplace emergencies	PUAWER008B Confine small workplace emergencies

Police Sector Qualifications

Certificate level qualifications have been developed to cover those units of competency required by Police Officers who perform a support function in assisting other Police working in Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander or ethnic communities. The Diploma covers wider operational Policing functions, while a number of Advanced Diplomas and Graduate Vocational Certificates cover supervisory, management and specialist policing functions.

Fire Sector Qualifications

Qualifications at the Certificate II and III levels cover the units of competency required by firefighters to perform a range of varied activities such as structure and/or wildfire fighting and to respond to rescue incidents. The core units contained within the Certificates II and III in Firefighting and Emergency Operations reflect the competencies required by firefighters involved in structural firefighting operations. Whereas, the core units contained within the Certificates II and III in Firefighting Operations reflect the competencies required by firefighters involved in wildfire firefighting.

The Certificate IV covers leadership and supervisory functions, while the Diploma and Advanced Diploma qualifications address management functions.

The risks associated with Firefighting Operations have required the adoption of a number of pre-requisite units of competency to key operational industry wide competencies. To ensure operational safety is maintained by fire sector personnel they must be assessed as competent in all fire specific pre-requisites and assessed in the following units within a fire context for the purposes of obtaining fire qualifications.

PUAOPE001B Supervise response
PUAOPE004B Conduct briefings/debriefings
PUAOPE005B Manage a multi team response
PUAOPE006B Control multi-agency emergency situations
PUAOPE007B Command agency personnel within a multi-agency emergency response

State and Territory Emergency Service Sector Qualifications

Certificate II qualifications cover those functions performed by SES personnel who undertake a role in rescue or operations centres. The Certificates III & IV qualifications address the requirement of SES personnel who undertake a leadership role during the performance of specialist rescue operations or within an operations centre. Operational management functions are covered in the Diploma qualification.

Defence Sector Qualifications

Flexibility has been maximised in all qualifications by using a core plus elective model; electives that have been selected and included in the packaging advice are considered relevant to the specific requirements of the occupational area. This approach maximises flexibility while still maintaining the integrity of the qualification and providing consistent outcomes for Defence.

The only qualification within the Defence Sector of the Public Safety Training Package recommended for delivery as a VET in schools program is the PUA10106 Certificate I in Public Safety (Defence Force Cadets).

Customisation of Qualifications

An industry wide qualification and/or sector specific qualification can be attained from Certificate II to Advanced Diploma provided a person has demonstrated competence in the type and number of units specified in each qualification for a given AQF level. The contents of the qualifications in the Public Safety Training Package have been developed to address the requirements of both the industry and the sectors.

To provide the flexibility required to enable Public Safety organisations to customise qualifications to enable the needs of the individual organisation to be met, qualifications may be customised in the following manner:

may include a maximum of one additional elective unit from a lower AQF level.

may include no more than four additional elective units from a higher AQF level.

may include as elective units up to two agency-specific units, instead of industry-wide units at each AQF level, provided that the agency-specific units substituted have been endorsed by the National Training Framework Committee (NTFC) and have been granted equivalence by the GSA Public Safety Industry Advisory Committee.

may include as elective units up to two units from other endorsed Training Packages.

Please note:

No units may be substituted or deleted from the core units of competency specified within the Public Safety Training Package qualifications.

Individual agencies may determine that elective units are compulsory for personnel working within their organisation.

Customisation of qualifications should be advised to the GSA Public Safety Industry Advisory Committee to verify that any customisation maintains the integrity of the original qualification and to maintain accurate information of qualifications available to the industry.

The advice on customisation of qualifications only applies to qualifications that have used a core and elective model in the packaging arrangements for the qualification.

Customising Defence Sector qualifications

To provide the flexibility required to enable Defence to customise qualifications to meet the needs of the individual services and units within Defence, qualifications may be customised in the following manner:

elective units may be taken from the elective units listed in each of the specific qualifications

up to 2 units may be taken from within the Public Safety Training Package or any other endorsed Training Package at the same qualification level or a higher level.

Qualification Pathways Information

Specific pathway advice for public safety qualifications is not always included due to the unique nature of employment in public safety occupations. Pathway information is normally contained in recruitment documentation and subsequent pathways, post employment, are determined in consultation with the employer.

In the public safety industry, qualifications pathways depend on a range of issues specific to each sector such as agency structure, promotional structure and rank structure. Where qualifications are used outside of public safety agencies, then qualifications pathways will depend on the organisation and the structure of the organisation.

Defence qualifications have been developed for Defence personnel therefore qualification pathways will depend on organisational policies. A candidate will join Defence to complete a specific role (such as infantry soldier, explosive ordnance worker, pilot, etc.). Consequently, the candidate will be trained in military skills, in concert with their trade skills. They will receive career-long training to develop these skills and will also receive management and leadership training as their career progresses (in areas such as procurement, contracting, risk management, planning, policy development, OH&S, etc.).

A typical pathway would be:

complete the PUA10106 Certificate I in Public Safety (Defence Force Cadets) with Defence Force Cadets at secondary school

join the Military and complete the PUA21110 Certificate 2 in Public Safety (Military Skills) at recruit training

undertake trade training (either at Certificate III or Certificate IV)

undertake ongoing skills development and management/leadership training leading to a Diploma and above.

In instances where qualifications pathways can be articulated, these are provided in the actual qualification.

Importing WER Units into Training Package Qualifications

The workplace emergency response units of competency are seen as industry wide units and as such they will be assessed in terms of their applicability for existing sector qualifications within the PSTP when it is reviewed.

The importing of workplace emergency response units of competency into other industry Training Packages is also promoted as the units are seen as relevant for all industries. In particular, PUAWER004B Respond to workplace emergencies is seen as a unit that could be imported into any Training Package qualification, at any AQF level.

Depending on the work being undertaken by people, organisations and individuals may be interested in prevention units, workplace evacuation units, and/or initial response units at operational, coordination and/or management levels to assist them in meeting their duty of care to their workers, clients and the community.

Qualifications Framework

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 six 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.

Certificate I Characteristics of Learning Outcomes Breadth, depth and complexity of knowledge and skills would prepare a person to perform a defined range of activities most of which may be routine and predictable. Applications may include a variety of employment related skills including preparatory access and participation skills, broad-based induction skills and/or specific workplace skills. They may also include participation in a team or work group.

Skill Sets

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

Assessment Guidelines

Assessment Guidelines

Introduction

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

Assessment System Overview

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

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

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

Assessment must be carried out in accordance with the:

benchmarks for assessment

specific industry requirements

principles of assessment

rules of evidence

assessment requirements set out in the AQTF.

Benchmarks for Assessment

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

Industry Requirements

Industry specific requirements will be either be covered in the unit of competency or managed by assessors and trainers as they arise.

Principles of Assessment

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

validity

reliability

flexibility

fairness

sufficiency.

These principles must be addressed in the:

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

development of assessment tools, and

the conduct of assessment.

Validity

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

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

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

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

Reliability

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

Flexibility

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

Fairness

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

Sufficiency

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

Rules of Evidence

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

Valid

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

Sufficient

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

Current

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

Authentic

To accept evidence as authentic, an assessor must be assured that the evidence presented for assessment is the candidate’s own work.

Assessment Requirements of the Australian Quality Training Framework

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

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

The following points summarise the assessment requirements.

Registration of Training Organisations

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

Quality Training and Assessment

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

Assessor Competency Requirements

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

Assessment Requirements

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

Assessment Strategies

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

National Recognition

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

Access and Equity and Client Outcomes

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

Monitoring Assessments

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

Recording Assessment Outcomes

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

Issuing AQF qualifications and Statement of Attainment

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

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 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 Government Skills Australia.

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

Learning and Assessment Pathways

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

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

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

Credit Pathways

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

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

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

Recognition of Prior Learning

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

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

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

existing workers;

individuals with overseas qualifications;

recent migrants with established work histories;

people returning to the workplace; and

people with disabilities or injuries requiring a change in career.

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

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

questioning (oral or written)

consideration of a portfolio and review of contents

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

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

observation of performance, and

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

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

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

authentic (the candidate’s own work);

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

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

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

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

Credit Transfer

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

This process involves education institutions:

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

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

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

publicising the arrangement/agreement and credit available.

Combination of Pathways

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

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

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

Assessor Requirements

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

Assessor Competencies

The AQTF specifies mandatory competency requirements for assessors. For information, Standard 1, 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 to develop their Vocational Education and Training (VET) knowledge and skills as well as their industry currency and trainer/assessor competence.
* See AQTF 2010 Users’ Guide to the Essential Standards for Registration – Appendix 2

Designing Assessment Tools

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

Use of Assessment Tools

Assessment tools provide a means of collecting the evidence that assessors use in making 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 the tools:

are benchmarked against the relevant unit or units of competency;

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

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

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

Language, Literacy and Numeracy

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

Conducting Assessment

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

Mandatory Assessment Requirements

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

1.5	Assessment, including Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL):
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
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. 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 the PUA00 Public Safety Training Package go to the Government Skills Australia website at http://www.governmentskills.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 a 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 a 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

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 Organisations (RTOs) may contextualise units of competency in this endorsed Training Package to reflect required local outcomes. 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 Training Package must be within the bounds of the following advice:

RTOs must not remove or add to the number and content of elements and performance criteria.

RTOs can include specific industry terminology in the range statement.

Any amendments and additions to the range statement made by RTOs must not diminish the breadth of application of the competency, or reduce its portability.

RTOs may add detail to the evidence guide in areas such as the critical aspects of evidence or required resources and infrastructure—but only where these expand the breadth of the competency and 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

This sub-section contains a statement that the unit contains Employability skills.

Pre-requisite 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

the required underpinning knowledge and skills.

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 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.

Sample unit of competency components showing Employability Skills

The following table shows the sequence of a unit of competency, and each cell contains text taken from a range of units. It provides examples of where and how various Employability Skills could be embedded in each component.

Please note that in the example, the bracketed Employability Skills are provided for clarification only and would not be present in units of competency within this Training Package.

Unit Title	Give formal presentations and take part in meetings (Communication)
Unit Descriptor	This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to promote the use and implementation of innovative work practices to effect change. (Initiative and enterprise)
Element	Proactively resolve issues (Problem solving)
Performance Criteria	Information is organised in a format suitable for analysis and dissemination in accordance with organisational requirements (Planning and organising)
Range Statement	Software applications may include: email, internet; and word processing, spreadsheet, database, or accounting, packages (Technology)
Required Skills and Knowledge	Modify activities depending on differing workplace contexts, risk situations and environments (Learning) Work collaboratively with others during a fire emergency (Teamwork) Instructions, procedures and other information relevant the maintenance of vessel and port security (Communication)
Evidence Guide	Evidence of having worked constructively with a wide range of community groups and stakeholders to solve problems and adapt or design new solutions to meet identified needs in crime prevention. In particular, evidence must be obtained on the ability to: assess response options to identified crime prevention needs and determine the optimal action to be implemented; and in consultation with relevant others, design an initiative to address identified issues … (Initiative and enterprise)

Employability Skills Summaries and Units of Competency

An Employability Skills Summary exists for each qualification. Summaries include broad advice on industry expectations with regard to Employability Skills at the qualification level. Summaries should be used by trainers and assessors to assist in identifying the Employability Skills requirements contained within units of competency.

Guidelines for Customisation of Units

To aid in the implementation of the Training Package at the enterprise or organisational level, units of competency may be customised. Customisation refers to the tailoring of units of competency to reflect the work at a particular enterprise. To ensure the integrity of the standards is maintained, any customisation of the Public Safety competency standards must be undertaken within the following guidelines. If these guidelines are followed by the enterprise, the unit will be considered equivalent to the original unit. This means a person who is competent in the enterprise unit is also competent in the equivalent unit in the national standards.

Any customisation or contextualisation of units of competency must ensure the integrity of:

industry skill requirements

industry portability requirements

the national competency standards system and the Australian Qualifications Framework qualifications.

Customisation can occur through contextualisation of the units to reflect specific workplace, sector or jurisdictional requirements, as long as the original intent and integrity of the unit is not compromised.

This can be achieved through changing the wording of the Performance Criteria, Range Statement or Evidence Guide of a unit to reflect the specific needs of the organisation as outlined in the following information.

Customisation of the Performance Criteria

Customisation in Performance Criteria can be undertaken in statements such as ‘according to jurisdictional policy and procedures’, ‘according to workplace procedures and standards’ etc. In such cases there are two options:

1.	Relevant policy/procedure/standards may be inserted into or referenced in the performance criteria.

2.	At the time of assessment, the assessor may use their judgement to interpret the requirements of the performance criteria, based on their expertise in the functional area.

Customisation of the Range Statement

The Range Statement is the primary tool for customisation of the standards. The Range Statement defines a number of contexts in which the Competency may be applied. Because of the diversity of size, location and organisational structure of Public Safety organisations, application of competency will vary significantly. Assessors must therefore exercise judgement in selecting from, or adding to, the contexts of assessment defined in the Range Statements to ensure relevance to the workplace while maintaining the integrity of the standard.

Customisation of Evidence Guides

Application of judgement by assessors is limited by the requirements specified in the critical aspects of evidence in the Evidence Guides. These critical aspects may not be overwritten at enterprise levels. Enterprises can however add to the critical aspects of evidence by specifying a variable, or a number of variables, or particular performance requirements as critical to their enterprise or organisation.

Customisation of other industry competency standards

Where competency standards have been sourced from other Training Packages and endorsed competency standards, the Customisation Guidelines of the original Training Package will be recognised and adopted by the Public Safety industry for those units to ensure portability of qualifications.
