Australia’s VET system is a competency-based system. This means training shall be based on Units of Competency that describe:
- Performance standards to perform work tasks
- Required knowledge to perform those work tasks
- Required skills to perform those work tasks.
Units of Competency all available from the training.gov.au website.
An RTO must deliver training that has been designed to help a person learn to perform work tasks to the standard that is expected in the workplace.
