Impact of NQC decision re new rules for Training Packages
1. Background
In December 2009 the NQC outlined changes to the packaging rules to qualifications in Training Packages.
The changes include:
ONE THIRD or more of total units required to gain a VET qualification will be ELECTIVES.
The choice of ELECTIVE units can be broadened, to allow ONE SIXTH of total units to be included from other qualifications in a Training Package, other Training Packages and accredited courses.
Licensed and trade occupations will be exempt from these measures.
All units will be called either CORE or ELECTIVE.
We are seeking feed back as part of gathering feedback as to the impact of these changes.
