Training and Education Training Package development

The Training and Education Training Package has reached the final stages of the quality assurance process. The National Project Reference Group will formally sign off the Training Package, and the States and Territories will consider the documents over 2 weeks prior to its submission to the National Quality Council for endorsement.

Provided that the States and Territories support the work undertaken, submission to the NQC is anticipated to occur late in March 2010.

The IBSA Board has formed the view that the "TED" acronym, familiar as the working title used during the package development, does not convey the serious intent of the new Training and Education Training Package therefore it has changed the acronym to "TAE"

The Training and Education Package, which contains the newly revised Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, the newly developed Graduate programs in Language, Literacy and Numeracy and the relocated qualifications from Business Services, has three principle outcomes:

• to reflect the current review of the Certificate IV in Training and Assessment
• to endorse the newly developed graduate programs in Language, Literacy and Numeracy
• to bring together other qualifications currently in the Business Services Training Package that more appropriately reside in a training package focused on development for VET professionals.

 The revised Certificate IV in TAA units, the units for the new Graduate Programs in LLN  and the packaging rules for the Certificate IV and Training and Education Training Package will be available on the IBSA Wiki for public viewing until Training and Education Training Package becomes available on the NTIS website.
