Metal and Engineering Curriculum Framework Stage 6 Syllabus Part A
Introduction to Industry Curriculum Frameworks
Industry curriculum frameworks give students the opportunity to gain credit towards the NSW Higher School Certificate (HSC) and credit towards national vocational qualifications under the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF). Industry curriculum frameworks are based on nationally endorsed Training Packages. They specify the range of industry-developed units of competency from the relevant Training Packages which are suitable for the HSC. They also define how units of competency are arranged in HSC Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses to gain unit credit for the HSC. This Industry Curriculum Framework document contains the HSC Metal and Engineering VET courses to be delivered for the HSC by schools, TAFE NSW colleges and other Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) on behalf of schools or TAFE NSW colleges.
Documents Associated with Industry Curriculum Frameworks
The purpose of the industry curriculum framework documents is to assist teachers and trainers to develop teaching and assessment programs, and to help manage competency achievement by HSC candidates. Part A of the Metal and Engineering Curriculum Framework Stage 6 Syllabus describes how students may achieve unit credit towards the HSC and credit towards a vocational qualification. It contains general advice about the Metal and Engineering Curriculum Framework and describes course structures and requirements, including work placement. This document should be used as the first reference when planning to implement courses for the HSC. The set of documents associated with the Framework is shown below. 2.1 Industry Curriculum Framework documents

4.1
Vocational Education and Training (VET) in the NSW HSC

The national context
VET programs offered for the HSC are consistent with the National Training Framework (NTF). The NTF is the system of vocational education and training that: applies nationally is made up of the VET Quality Framework and nationally endorsed Training Packages. The VET Quality Framework is the agreed quality framework for the national VET system. The Australian Qualification Framework (AQF) is the policy framework that defines all qualifications recognised nationally in post-compulsory education and training in Australia. HSC VET course qualifications are recognised within the AQF. 4.2 Determination of AQF VET qualifications for HSC students
The HSC VET curriculum frameworks are based on units of competency and qualifications contained in nationally endorsed Training Packages. These AQF VET qualifications are determined by the qualification rules for each Training Package, referred to as qualification packaging rules. The qualification packaging rules describe the number and range of units of competency required for eligibility for an AQF VET qualification. Course structures for the HSC are described in each VET industry curriculum framework syllabus. In order to have satisfactorily completed a framework course, students must follow the course structure, attempt the required units of competency with diligence and sustained effort, and fulfil work placement requirements. The rules and structure of HSC VET courses are not always identical to the qualification packaging rules. In some cases more units of competency are required for the HSC course than are required for successful completion of the AQF VET qualification. In some HSC courses, students might not achieve all of the specified units of competency for the purposes of the HSC, but may still be eligible for the qualification as a result of meeting the requirements of the packaging rules for that AQF VET qualification. Sections 8.5, 8.6, 8.7, 17.1 and 17.2 outline the Metal and Engineering course structures within the Metal and Engineering Curriculum Framework. The qualification packaging rules for the AQF VET qualification pathways in this Framework are available from the Metal and Engineering Training Package (MEM05) at http://training.gov.au and should be consulted when selecting elective units of competency.
Rationale
The various sectors of the metal and engineering industry comprise about 50% of Australias manufacturing industry in terms of value-added share. Each sector is involved in the manufacture, service, repair and maintenance of products, tooling and equipment, as well as processes. Engineering installation, repair and maintenance is also applied across most Australian industries. The number of workers across Australian industries who are using engineering and manufacturing-engineering skills is approximately 650,000.1 The manufacturing and engineering industry is the second largest employer in Australia. There are a wide range of industry sectors and jobs within the industry. Enterprise sizes range from many small businesses of a few employees to large enterprises. The industry has been actively reshaping itself over the last decade, embracing new technologies, innovation and more efficient production practices and becoming increasingly export-focused.2 The growth of the boating industry is set to increase even more strongly over the next decade as more Australians increase their leisure time and recreational activities. Careers in the industry may be found in boat sales, marina and slipway operations, boat servicing, sailmaking, mechanical repairs, charter operations, retail and boat building.3 The Metal and Engineering Training Package (MEM05) offers qualifications from Certificate I to Advanced Diploma and specifies the competencies required for various specialised occupations. These include mechanical, fabrication, and electrical/electronic trade; production technology and production systems; jewellery manufacture; locksmithing; boating services; and marine craft construction. The Metal and Engineering Curriculum Framework is based on units of competency from this Training Package. The inclusion of courses in metal and engineering in the HSC based on industry-recognised AQF VET qualifications will allow students to access both long-term and short-term employment opportunities. Courses within the Metal and Engineering Curriculum Framework provide an opportunity for students to gain Certificates I, II and/or Statement of Attainment towards Certificate III as part of their HSC. Apart from being nationally recognised, these AQF VET qualifications articulate into higher-level qualifications including traineeships and apprenticeships in the manufacturing, engineering and related services industries which students may pursue post-school. The Framework also provides an HSC examination, which allows results from the Metal and Engineering (240 indicative hours) or Metal and Engineering School-based Apprenticeship (240 indicative hours) course to contribute to the calculation of the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR). Learning in each HSC Metal and Engineering course within the Framework provides opportunities for students to develop relevant technical, vocational and interpersonal competencies suitable for employment and further training in manufacturing, engineering and related services industries. It also provides skills, knowledge and experiences such as teamwork, communication and occupational health and safety that are transferable to other industry areas.

Aim
The Metal and Engineering Curriculum Framework is designed to enable students to acquire a range of technical, practical, personal and organisational skills valued both within and beyond the workplace. They will also acquire underpinning knowledge and skills related to work, employment and further training within the manufacturing, engineering and related services industries. Through the study of this subject, students will gain experiences that can be applied to a range of contexts, including work, study and leisure and that will assist them to make informed career choices.

Course Structures
Courses within the Metal and Engineering Curriculum Framework
An industry curriculum framework describes the units of competency that have been identified as being suitable for the purposes of the HSC. Units of competency in the Metal and Engineering Curriculum Framework are detailed in Sections 8.5, 8.6, 8.7, 17.1 and 17.2. Each course in a framework describes how the available units of competency can be grouped to gain units of credit towards the HSC. The Metal and Engineering Curriculum Framework contains the following courses: Metal and Engineering (120 indicative hours) Metal and Engineering (240 indicative hours) Metal and Engineering Specialisation Study (60 or 120 indicative hours) Metal and Engineering School-based Apprenticeship (240 indicative hours) Metal and Engineering School-based Apprenticeship Specialisation (60 or 120 indicative hours). The maximum number of Preliminary and/or HSC units available from this Framework is six units. That is, courses can total up to 360 hours. Compulsory units of competency are those that all students must attempt in their study of the HSC course (refer to Section 8, Tables 1 and 2 and Section 17, Table 9). Examinable units of competency are those that can be examined in the HSC examination (refer to Section 11.3). Core units of competency are those required by the Metal and Engineering Training Package for a student to be eligible for the vocational qualification (refer to Section 15). 8.1.1 The selection of units of competency Units of competency should be selected within course structures to maximise students eligibility for AQF VET qualifications and an occupational outcome. Tables 68 (Section 15) list the status of units of competency from HSC courses for each AQF VET qualification available through the Framework. This information should be consulted when selecting elective units of competency. An integrated or holistic approach to course delivery and assessment should be adopted. Examples of integrated approaches to programming and assessment strategies, as well as advice on curriculum materials that may be used to support the delivery of courses within the Metal and Engineering Curriculum Framework are available on the Boards website.

8.2
Allocation of HSC indicative hours of credit
Units of competency drawn from Training Packages are not defined in terms of duration. The amount of time required by individual students to achieve competency will vary according to their aptitude and experience. Where a training program is designed for delivery by an RTO, the RTO will specify the length of the training program according to the delivery strategies/ curriculum resources chosen. However, for the purposes of the HSC, courses must be described in terms of their indicative hours. For this reason, indicative hours for unit credit towards the HSC have been assigned to each unit of competency within the Framework. It is emphasised that the assignment of indicative hours does not imply that all students will fulfil all requirements of a unit of competency within these hours. RTOs may determine that additional or fewer hours are required for the achievement of particular competencies. However, this does not alter the indicative hours allocated, only the delivery hours. It is also expected that students will need to spend additional time practising skills in a work environment and in completing projects and assignments, in order to fulfil Training Package assessment requirements. Tables 14 (Section 8) and Tables 910 (Section17) list the indicative hours assigned to each unit of competency included in the Metal and Engineering Curriculum Framework for the purpose of unit credit towards the HSC. 8.3 Unit weight
Many units of competency have an allocated weight shown as unit weight. This weighting is usually referred to as the points. The points reflect the industrial value placed on units of competency for classification under the Metal Engineering and Associated Industries Award 1998. Combinations of units of competency representative of a work role result in a total points weighting. This is then used to identify the correct classification level for the work. The unit weightings do not represent hours of training, directly or by formula. The unit weight or points allocated to each unit of competency within the Metal and Engineering Curriculum Framework is stated in Sections 8.5, 8.6, 8.7, 17.1 and 17.2 of this document. For units of competency in the Metal and Engineering (120 and 240 indicative hours) courses, this information is also provided in Part B of the Syllabus. These weightings are used in the packaging rules for some of the qualifications. The units of competency selected for the qualification must have a combined points value no less than the points value specified for each component of the qualification (refer to Section 15 of this document). These combined points totals also include the points for any prerequisite units involved. Note that the points for any particular unit can only be counted once in each qualification. For example, if a unit is selected to be part of a qualification and it is also a prerequisite for another selected unit, then the points for that unit can only be counted once.

8.4
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and credit transfer
Students who have current knowledge, skills or experience relevant to a VET course may be granted credit towards the course requirements. Arrangements for RPL and credit transfer within VET courses, including processes, application forms and examples of possible scenarios, are detailed on the Boards website at www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/voc_ed/rpl.html.

Outcomes and Content

Units of competency
The units of competency in the Metal and Engineering (120 and 240 indicative hours) courses are listed in Tables 13. The units of competency in the Metal and Engineering School-based Apprenticeship (240 indicative hours) course are listed in Tables 9 and 10. Part B of this syllabus contains details of the examinable units of competency reproduced from the Metal and Engineering Training Package (MEM05). For each unit of competency the details consist of: elements of competency performance criteria a range statement an evidence guide, including: overview of assessment requirements context of assessment interdependent assessment method of assessment consistency of performance required skills required knowledge. In addition, there is a column headed HSC Requirements and Advice that prescribes the scope of learning and the minimum learning experiences expected for each unit of competency for the purposes of the HSC. These must be addressed by all students studying the Metal and Engineering (120 and 240 indicative hours) courses and the Metal and Engineering Schoolbased Apprenticeship (240 indicative hours) course. Details of all other units of competency listed in Tables 3, 4 and 10 are available in the Metal and Engineering Training Package (MEM05) at http://training.gov.au. The units of competency to be delivered and assessed are determined by the scope of the registration of each RTO. Teachers and trainers should check their RTOs scope of registration before determining which units of competency are to be included in their teaching and assessment programs. School principals should seek documentary evidence of the scope of any external RTO delivering the HSC course. Scope of registration can be checked at http://training.gov.au. Information about the delivery of HSC VET courses by RTOs other than school system RTOs or TAFE NSW institutes is contained on the Boards Assessment Certification Examination (ACE) website. Non-government schools outsourcing delivery of HSC VET courses to external providers also need to refer to the Registered and Accredited Individual Non-government Schools (NSW) Manual or Registration Systems and Member Non-government Schools (NSW) Manual which are available on the Boards website at www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/manuals/#regaccredsystemsmanuals.

Course delivery
RTOs offering training programs that deliver HSC Metal and Engineering Framework courses must consult Part B of this Syllabus and take into consideration the details provided in the HSC Requirements and Advice column (including key terms and concepts) as well as the following requirements for each unit of competency: the elements of competency the performance criteria the range statement all aspects of the evidence guide. RTOs should pay particular attention to the information under Prerequisites (to ensure these requirements have been met), Required skills and Required knowledge. The HSC Requirements and Advice column prescribes what learning experiences must be included for the HSC. Where the range statement uses the words may include, the HSC Requirements and Advice column prescribes which of these learning experiences must be included for the HSC. Separate advice on learning materials, resource requirements and teacher qualifications is available from school systems.

Work Placement
Work placement is a mandatory HSC requirement within this Framework and appropriate hours have been assigned to each course. Learning in the workplace will enable students to: progress towards the achievement of industry competencies develop appropriate attitudes towards work learn a range of behaviours appropriate to the industry practise skills acquired in the classroom or workshop develop additional skills and knowledge, including employability skills (refer to Section 13.2). The mandatory work placement requirements for courses in this Framework are not intended to indicate the time required for the achievement of units of competency. The amount of learning in the workplace that is needed to achieve a unit of competency will vary from student to student. Assessment of the units of competency is to be undertaken by qualified assessor(s) either in a work placement setting or in the classroom. 10.1 Work placement requirements
Students must complete the following work placement for Metal and Engineering courses: Metal and Engineering (120 indicative hours) a minimum of 35 hours in a workplace Metal and Engineering (240 indicative hours) a minimum of 70 hours in a workplace Metal and Engineering Specialisation Study (60 indicative hours) a minimum of 14 additional hours in a workplace Metal and Engineering Specialisation Study (120 indicative hours) a minimum of 35 additional hours in a workplace Metal and Engineering School-based Apprenticeship (240 indicative hours) mandatory work placement hour requirements for this course are met through the on-the-job training component of the school-based apprenticeship Metal and Engineering School-based Apprenticeship Specialisation (60 or 120 indicative hours) mandatory work placement hour requirements for this course are met through the on-the-job training component of the school-based apprenticeship. Non-completion of work placement is grounds for the withholding of the course. Schools are advised to follow the issuing of N determinations as outlined on the Board of Studies Assessment Certification Examination (ACE) website. It is the responsibility of the school and/or other RTO to determine how course outcomes are best achieved and to structure delivery accordingly. If additional work placement or classroom time is required to enable individual students or class groups to achieve the competencies, this will be determined by the deliverer, but it does not affect the indicative HSC hours. Further information and advice on the implementation of work placement are contained in policy statements or guidelines available from the relevant school system or the RTO.
29
10.2
Part-time work
Under some circumstances, students part-time work in an appropriate workplace may be used to fulfil work placement requirements. For further details, teachers and principals should consult the Assessment Certification Examination (ACE) website or relevant Board of Studies Official Notices.

Assessment Requirements and Advice

Competency-based assessment
The VET courses within the Metal and Engineering Curriculum Framework are competencybased. Advice on appropriate assessment practice in relation to the Metal and Engineering Curriculum Framework is contained in the Assessment and Reporting in Metal and Engineering Stage 6 document. This document, as well as other resources and advice related to assessment in Metal and Engineering Stage 6, is available on the Boards website at www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/syllabus_hsc/metal-engineering.html 11.2 HSC examination: Metal and Engineering
The Metal and Engineering Curriculum Framework includes an HSC examination which provides the opportunity for students to have this HSC examination mark contribute to the calculation of their Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR). The Metal and Engineering HSC examination can contribute up to two units towards the calculation of a students ATAR. Students who have completed the Metal and Engineering (240 indicative hours) course or Metal and Engineering School-based Apprenticeship (240 indicative hours) course are eligible to sit for the Metal and Engineering HSC examination. Students who want to sit for the Metal and Engineering HSC examination must be entered for both the Metal and Engineering (240 indicative hours) course or Metal and Engineering School-based Apprenticeship (240 indicative hours) course and the Metal and Engineering examination on Schools Online (Administration). The HSC examination specifications, which describe the format of the external HSC examination, are contained in the Assessment and Reporting in Metal and Engineering Stage 6 document. The HSC examination is independent of the competency-based assessment undertaken during the course and has no impact on student eligibility for AQF VET qualifications. 11.3 Examinable outcomes and content
The HSC examination in Metal and Engineering is based on a set of examinable units of competency from the Metal and Engineering (240 indicative hours) and Metal and Engineering School-based Apprenticeship (240 indicative hours) course and the employability skills for Certificate II in Engineering (refer to qualification packaging rules at http://training.gov.au).
31
The HSC examination is based on the following components of each examinable unit of competency: elements of competency performance criteria range statement6 evidence guide, including: overview of assessment requirements context of assessment interdependent assessment method of assessment consistency of performance required skills required knowledge minimum prescribed learning contained in HSC requirements and advice, described as: key terms and concepts, and learning experiences that must be addressed for the HSC.

Other Information
Providing for all students
13.1.1 Students with special education needs Students with special education needs may access a VET course in one of two ways: by undertaking the course under regular course arrangements, or by undertaking selected units of competency within the course that have been identified through the collaborative curriculum planning process. For more information, see the VET Courses and Students with Special Education Needs fact sheet and Stage 6 Industry Curriculum Frameworks Support Document for Students with Special Education Needs document on the Boards website. 13.1.2 School-based apprentices and trainees Information regarding provision for school-based trainees within the HSC is available on the Boards website at www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/voc_ed/apprenticeships-traineeships.html. Information on requirements and arrangements for NSW school-based traineeships is available at www.training.nsw.gov.au/individuals/apprenticeships_traineeships/school_based/index.html. 13.1.3 Access by students in Years 9 and 10 (Stage 5) In certain circumstances students in Years 9 and 10 (Stage 5) may access Stage 6 VET courses. Further information is available on the Boards website at www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/voc_ed/stage-5.html. 13.2 Employability Skills7
The Employability Skills build on the Mayer Key Competencies (developed in 1992) which attempted to describe generic competencies for effective participation in work. The Business Council of Australia (BCA) and the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI), in consultation with other peak employer bodies, produced the Employability Skills for the Future report which was officially released in May 2002. The report indicated that business and industry required a broader range of skills than the Mayer Key Competencies Framework. It featured an Employability Skills Framework identifying eight Employability Skills: communication teamwork problem-solving initiative and enterprise planning and organising
DEEWR, 2012, Metal and Engineering Training Package (MEM05). 34
self-management learning technology.
The report demonstrated how Employability Skills can be further described for particular occupational and industry contexts by sets of facets or important work skills. The following table contains the Employability Skills facets identified in the report: Table 5 Employability skills
Skill Facets Aspects of the skill that employers identify as important. The nature and application of these facets will vary depending on industry and job type. Communication that contributes to productive and harmonious relations across employees and customers Problem-solving that contributes to productive outcomes Initiative and enterprise that contribute to innovative outcomes listening and understanding speaking clearly and directly writing to the needs of the audience negotiating responsively reading independently empathising using numeracy effectively understanding the needs of internal and external customers persuading effectively establishing and using networks being assertive sharing information speaking and writing in languages other than English working across different ages irrespective of gender, race, religion or political persuasion working as an individual and as a member of a team knowing how to define a role as part of the team applying teamwork to a range of situations eg futures planning and crisis problem-solving identifying the strengths of team members coaching and mentoring skills, including giving feedback developing creative, innovative and practical solutions showing independence and initiative in identifying and solving problems solving problems in teams applying a range of strategies to problem solving using mathematics, including budgeting and financial management to solve problems applying problem-solving strategies across a range of areas testing assumptions, taking into account the context of data and circumstances resolving customer concerns in relation to complex project issues adapting to new situations developing a strategic, creative and long-term vision being creative identifying opportunities not obvious to others translating ideas into action generating a range of options initiating innovative solutions 35
Teamwork that contributes to productive working relationships and outcomes
Table 5 cont/d
Skill Planning and organising that contribute to long and short-term strategic planning Facets Self-management that contributes to employee satisfaction and growth Technology that contributes to the effective carrying out of tasks managing time and priorities setting timelines, coordinating tasks for self and with others being resourceful taking initiative and making decisions adapting resource allocations to cope with contingencies establishing clear project goals and deliverables allocating people and other resources to tasks planning the use of resources, including time management participating in continuous improvement and planning processes developing a vision and a proactive plan to accompany it predicting weighing up risk, evaluating alternatives and applying evaluation criteria collecting, analysing and organising information understanding basic business systems and their relationships having a personal vision and goals evaluating and monitoring own performance having knowledge and confidence in own ideas and visions articulating own ideas and visions taking responsibility managing own learning contributing to the learning community at the workplace using a range of mediums to learn mentoring, peer support and networking, IT and courses applying learning to technical issues (eg learning about products) and people issues (eg interpersonal and cultural aspects of work) having enthusiasm for ongoing learning being willing to learn in any setting on and off the job being open to new ideas and techniques being prepared to invest time and effort in learning new skills acknowledging the need to learn in order to accommodate change having a range of basic IT skills applying IT as a management tool using IT to organise data being willing to learn new IT skills having the OHS knowledge to apply technology having the appropriate physical capacity
Learning that contributes to ongoing improvement and expansion in employee and company operations and outcomes
An Employability Skills Summary exists for each qualification available in the Metal and Engineering Training Package (MEM05). These summaries capture the key aspects or facets of the employability skills that are important to the job roles covered by the qualification. Summaries are designed to assist trainers and assessors to identify and include important industry application of employability skills in learning and assessment strategies. The Employability Skills Summary for each qualification is available with the qualification packaging rules at http://training.gov.au. Employability skills are essential features of each of the qualifications available in the Framework and therefore consideration must be given to the ways in which they can be addressed when designing learning activities and assessment instruments.
36
The following is important information for trainers and assessors about Employability Skills Summaries: Employability Skills Summaries provide examples of how each skill is applicable to the job roles covered by the qualification. Employability Skills Summaries contain general information about industry context which is further explained as measurable outcomes of performance in the units of competency in each qualification. The detail in each Employability Skills Summary will vary depending on the range of job roles covered by the qualification in question. Employability Skills Summaries are not exhaustive lists of qualification requirements or checklists of performance (which are separate assessment tools that should be designed by trainers and assessors after analysis at the unit level). Employability Skills Summaries contain information that may also assist in building learners understanding of industry and workplace expectations.

AQF VET Qualifications
The various titles of AQF VET qualifications reflect levels of performance and degrees of responsibility in a workplace context. The level of a qualification thus provides an indication of the standard of achievement expected, which is comparable across industries and provides a context for assessment. Industry curriculum frameworks relate to Certificates I to III. Brief descriptions of Certificates I, II and III, adapted from the Australian Qualifications Framework Implementation Handbook8 are provided below. Certificate I Work is likely to be carried out under direct supervision. Breadth, depth and complexity of knowledge and skills would prepare a person to perform a defined range of activities, most of which would be routine and predictable. An individual demonstrating competencies at this level would be able to: demonstrate knowledge by recall in a narrow range of areas demonstrate basic practical skills, such as the use of relevant tools perform a sequence of routine tasks given clear direction receive and pass on messages/information. Certificate II Work is likely to be carried out under direct supervision. Breadth, depth and complexity of knowledge and skills would prepare a person to perform in a range of varied activities or knowledge applications where the range of choices of action is clearly defined and of limited complexity. An individual demonstrating competencies at this level would be able to: demonstrate basic operational knowledge in a moderate range of areas apply a defined range of skills apply known solutions to a limited range of predictable problems perform a range of tasks where choice is required between options within a limited range assess and record information from various sources take limited responsibility for their own outputs in work and learning. Certificate III Breadth, depth and complexity of knowledge and competencies would cover the selecting, adapting and transferring of skills and knowledge to new environments, and providing technical advice and some leadership in the resolution of specific problems. This would be applied across a range of roles in a variety of contexts, with some complexity in the extent and choice of options available.
Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) Advisory Board, 2003, Australian Qualifications Framework Implementation Handbook, third edition, Carlton, VIC. 38
An individual demonstrating these competencies would be able to: perform a defined range of skilled operations, usually within a range of broader, related activities involving known routines, methods and procedures exercise some discretion and judgement in the selection of equipment, services or contingency measures operate within known time constraints take some responsibility for others participate in teams, including group or team coordination.
AQF VET Statements of Attainment and Certificates are ONLY issued on the basis of successful achievement of a unit of competency as determined by a qualified assessor.
39
15
Minimum Requirements for AQF VET Qualifications
The qualification packaging rules for the AQF VET qualifications available in this Framework are available from the Metal and Engineering Training Package (MEM05) at http://training.gov.au. The packaging rules set out the minimum requirements for achieving a particular industry qualification. Students who meet these requirements will be eligible for the relevant AQF VET Certificate, whether or not they have met the additional requirements of the HSC course. A Statement of Attainment will be issued for achievement of single or multiple units of competency. At a later date, a person can undertake further skill development or training and be assessed against additional competencies until they have achieved all the competencies required for an AQF VET qualification. RTOs must recognise and give credit for competencies recorded on a Statement of Attainment.

AQF
Glossary
Australian Qualifications Framework. The AQF is the policy framework that defines all qualifications recognised nationally in post-compulsory education and training in Australia. The AQF comprises titles and guidelines that define each qualification, together with principles and protocols covering cross-sectoral qualification linkages and the issuing of qualifications and statements of attainment. Australian Apprenticeships encompass all apprenticeships and traineeships. They combine time at work and can be full-time, part-time or school-based (www.australianapprenticeships.gov.au). The broad concept of industry competency concerns the ability to perform particular tasks and duties to the standard of performance expected in the workplace. Competency requires the application of specified skills, knowledge and attitudes relevant to effective participation in an industry, industry sector or enterprise. Units of competency required by the Training Package to be eligible for an AQF VET qualification. Units of competency that must be studied for the HSC.
Australian Apprenticeships competency
core units of competency compulsory units of competency elements of competency recognition of prior learning (RPL) RTO
The basic building blocks of a unit of competency which describe the key activities or elements of the work covered by the unit.
The result of an assessment of an individuals non-formal and informal learning to determine the extent to which that individual has achieved the required learning outcomes, competency outcomes, or standards for entry to, and/or partial or total completion of, a qualification. Registered Training Organisation A training organisation registered by a registering body in accordance with the VET Quality Framework, within a defined scope of registration (include TAFE NSW institutes, private providers and school system RTOs).
scope of registration
The particular services and products an RTO is registered to provide. The RTOs scope defines the specific AQF VET qualifications, units of competency and accredited courses it is registered to provide, and whether it is registered to provide: both training delivery and assessment services, and to issue the relevant AQF qualifications and statements of attainment, or only assessment services, and to issue AQF qualifications and statements of attainment.
In NSW, Stage 5 relates to Years 9 and 10 of schooling. In NSW, Stage 6 relates to Years 11 and 12 of schooling.

Stage 5 Stage 6
Statement of Attainment training.gov.au
May be issued in the vocational education and training sector by an RTO when an individual has completed one or more units of competency from nationally recognised qualification(s)/course(s).
http://training.gov.au The national register for recording information about RTOs, Training Packages and accredited courses. A nationally endorsed, integrated set competency standards, assessment guidelines and AQF VET qualifications for a specific industry, industry sector or enterprise. A documented program of training and assessment required for an apprenticeship/traineeship training contract. It is developed by an RTO in consultation with the parties to the contract as the basis for training and assessing a person undertaking an apprenticeship or traineeship. Specification of industry knowledge and skill and the application of that knowledge and skill to the standard of performance expected in the workplace. Vocational Education and Training.
Formal certification in the VET sector by an RTO that a person has satisfied all requirements of the units of competency or modules that comprise an AQF VET qualification, as specified by: a nationally endorsed Training Package, or an accredited course that provides training for the qualification.
