Standard 1

Training Packages consist of the following:1. NSSC endorsed components:

– units of competency;– assessment requirements (associated with

each unit of competency);– qualifications; and– credit arrangements.

2. One or more quality assured companion volumes.

Implications of Standard 1

New templates for– qualifications– units of competency;– assessment requirements

Even if we wanted to keep everything the same, the template causes some changes to be made

Advice about the content of Companion Volumes will be sought after we have draft 2 developed.
