What does this mean for training providers?

Registered training organisations (RTOs) may now apply to have the updated qualifications, skill sets and units added to their scope of registration. RTOs who already have the qualifications, skill sets and units that have been updated as part of this endorsement have 12 months to transition to deliver the updated qualifications, skill sets and units, from the date of publication. For more information, visit the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) website. A Companion Volume Implementation Guide has also been produced to help training providers implement the new and revised qualifications, skill sets and units. It can be downloaded from VETNet.com. 

Summary of consultation

Initial consultation took place with a wide group of Subject Matter Experts (SME), to gather information that informed the first draft version of the revised qualifications, skill sets and units. Broad consultation took place via five consultation webinars and the website, where the draft documents were made available for download and feedback (from 18 October – 10 November 2017 and again between 6 – 20 December 2017 when the drafts were revised for validation). Engagement took place throughout the project with peak national and state racing bodies, attendance at the Racing Trainers Network meetings, as well as direct communications with state and territory training authorities (STAs/TTAs) and VET regulators to seek input and keep them informed of the project’s progress.
