Training packages consist of the following endorsed components: • Qualifications which consist of units of competency combined into meaningful groups to meet workplace roles, and aligned to vocational qualification levels identified in the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) • Units of competency which specify the standards of performance required in the workplace • Assessment requirements which specify the performance evidence, knowledge evidence and conditions for assessment for each unit of competency • Credit arrangements which specify details of existing credit arrangements between vocational and higher education qualifications in accordance with the AQF. Currently no credit arrangements exist between any IBSA training package qualifications and higher education qualifications.
Training packages may also include non-endorsed components, such as: • Skill sets which are groups of endorsed units of competency that address a defined industry need or licensing or regulatory requirement • Companion volumes (including this Implementation Guide) which provide support for delivery and assessment • User guides which provide information about specific components.
