Training package products policy [2019]

Training packages specify the knowledge and skills required by individuals to perform effectively in the workplace, which are expressed in units of competency. Training packages detail how units of competency are packaged into nationally recognised and portable qualifications that comply with the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF). This 'Training package products policy' outlines the design rules that training package developers must adhere to when developing (or modifying) a training package product. It is one of three documents that form the 'Training package organising framework' to support the development of industry training packages. The other two documents are: 'Standards for training packages' [available in VOCEDplus at TD/TNC 110.632] which provides the overarching standards that establish the 'Training package organising framework' and specify the design and development requirements of training packages; and 'Training package development and endorsement process policy' [available in VOCEDplus at TD/TNC 139.374] which outlines the process to be followed for the development of a training package through to approval for implementation. Training package developers must comply with the 'Training package organising framework' when developing training package products.

This version of the 'Training package products policy' was agreed by the state and territory departments with responsibility for vocational education and training (VET) on behalf of their Ministers on 11 December 2019.
