Do you know what's changing with Training Packages and units of competency? 

This PD will take you through some of the "behind-the-scenes" work to produce what we see on the national register of VET (training.gov.au or "TGA").

Uncover the facts about the Training Package Organising Framework (TPOF) and some of the changes we can expect to see as new training products roll out from the Jobs and Skills Councils (JSCs). Importantly, this session frames the new TPOF in terms of the mechanics of assessment tool development and how instructional designers, compliance personnel and assessment writers can unpack units developed on the new Applied Skills and Knowledge (ASK) templates

In this session, get: 

• A basic overview of the Training Package Training Product development process
• An introduction to the TPOF, including facts about the TPOF and overview of changes to Training Product templates for JSC use
• An overview of the new ASK template for units of competency and a comparison with the Application, Elements and Performance Criteria template
• Ideas for mapping an ASK unit when developing assessment tools
• Handouts showing draft new units and a comparison of a unit on an existing template versus proposed ASK template

Other information:

• Approx. run time 40 minutes
• Included benefit for Education Matters members
• Feedback from others who've watched the session:
  • Presenter was very informed. The seminar flow was great
  • The straightforward explanation of the current situation with the TPOF and applying assessment mapping
  • Well-informed trainer; Michelle explained everything well

Important information

***15.6.26 - The first approved ASK units have appeared on TGA as part of UEE22226 Certificate II in Gateway to the Energy Sector***

This recording was made four months prior to the release of the first units on the ASK template. While information about the TPOF is confirmed knowledge, the information in the recording about how to interpret ASK units is yet to be confirmed by an authoritative source such as DEWR or any of the JSCs.

Further, with work from only 1 x JSC to be published on TGA, we are yet to know if future ASK units from other JSCs will be the same. 

Please take this into consideration while completing this PD.
