The Training Package, which contains the newly revised Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, the newly developed Graduate programs in Language, Literacy and Numeracy and the relocated qualifications from Business Services, has three principle outcomes:
- to reflect the current review of the Certificate IV in Training and Assessment
- to endorse the newly developed graduate programs in Language, Literacy and Numeracy
- to bring together other qualifications currently in the Business Services Training Package that more appropriately reside in a training package focused on development for VET professionals.
The following material for the new Training and Education Training Package is available for downloading:
These will be available until the Training and Education Package becomes available on the NTIS website.
At the January meeting IBSA and the states and territory representatives discussed the proposed move of the Diploma of Training and Assessment (TAA50104) from the TAA04 training package to the new Training and Education Training Package. It was decided that in light of the disruption and administration for RTOs associated with recoding units and qualifications, for what will be a short time period until the Diploma has been reviewed, that the TAA04 training package, with the Diploma as the only qualification, will be retained. In the interim the two training packages will be represented as being associated training packages. It is anticipated that the revised Diploma will be endorsed late in 2010 at which stage it will appear in the Training and Education Training Package.
Training and Assessment for Sustainability in TAE10
IBSA have taken the decision to release the sustainability unit developed as an elective for the Diploma in Training and Assessment ‘TAESUS501A Analyse and apply sustainability skills to learning programs’ as an orphan unit in the Training and Education Training Package (TAE10) soon to be submitted for endorsement to the NQC. This decision has been made to make the unit available as soon as possible and to support the Sustainable Skills Skill Set contained in the training package.
While the unit will not be attached to a qualification within the Training and Education Training Package until the review of the Diploma has been completed, it will be available for use within the Skill Set or for importation into other qualifications once Training and Education is endorsed.
Development of PD resources for the Training and Assessment for Sustainability
IBSA have been commissioned by DEEWR to develop resources to support professional development for the sustainability unit in the Training and Education Training Package ‘TAESUS501A Analyse and apply sustainability skills to learning programs’. This material is specifically intended to underpin a professional development program for current VET professionals. The material will also be converted to e-learning materials that will be possible to upload onto user platforms.
We expect the printed material to be available as soon as the Training & Eduction Training Package is endorsed.
