National Training Packages are high quality, high profile products that form the basis for new Apprenticeships and for training the entire workforce. All training leading to qualifications is covered by the National Training Packages and in the delivery of competencies, utilise the assessment guidelines. The Packages sit within a more flexible and industry relevant regulatory environment; with the main quality assurance and regulatory features:
- Standards will be broadly based and user friendly,and appropriate to workplace delivery.
- Instead of focusing on accredited curriculum to guarantee quality, quality assurance will be output focused with Registered Training Organisations being registered on the basis of their ability to deliver competencies.
- Assessment will give way to assessment models developed by industry in partnership with Registered Training Organisations.
- Outcomes in terms of qualifications will be driven by the combination of competencies attained. These employment based training arrangements will be possible at all levels of the vocational education and training component of the Australian Qualifications Framework.
