Training packages specify the knowledge and skills required by individuals to perform effectively in the workplace, known as 'competencies' and expressed in units of competency. Training packages also detail how units of competency can be packaged into nationally recognised qualifications that align to the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF). The 'Training package development and endorsement process policy' is one of three documents that form the Training Package Organising Framework. It sets out the pathways and processes for training package development through to approval for implementation by the Australian Industry and Skills Committee (AISC) and endorsement by Skills Ministers and identifies specific roles and accountabilities for relevant stakeholders. It also sets out where the full development and endorsement process applies and when and how minor changes can be made to existing training packages. The other two documents are 'Standards for training packages' [available in VOCEDplus at TD/TNC 110.632] and 'Training package products policy' [available in VOCEDplus at TD/TNC 139.377].
