• Customise packaged software applications for clients • Provide advice to clients • Use advanced features of computer applications • Create user and technical documentation Electives: Choose any six units, up to two of which can be drawn from any other nationally endorsed Training Package (please refer to the section on customisation of qualifications which provides advice on the appropriate selection of units from other Training Packages). • Maintain equipment and software in working order • Connect internal hardware components • Install network hardware to a network • Create code for applications • Install and optimise system software • Run standard diagnostic tests • Migrate to new technology • Operate system software • Install and manage network protocols • Relate to clients on a business level • Provide basic system administration • Install software to networked computers • Provide network systems administration • Provide one‐to‐one instruction • Administer network peripherals • Create web pages with multimedia • Apply skills in project integration Note: Advice in the contextualisation section of Training Packages should clearly explain the boundaries for incorporating units from other endorsed Training Packages. This would typically cover the appropriate alignment of source qualifications and may specify which industry Training Packages would be relevant. 11.3 Core and specialisation model This variation on the core and electives model is another popular approach. Again there is a core of essential units but under this model a choice is made from defined groups of units – specialisations – rather than a choice between individual units. There may also be elective choices within the specialisation groups that the packaging rules should clearly explain. This is a useful model where particular specialisations are widely recognised in an industry in addition to a shared set of skills covered by the core units. The approach also avoids inappropriate elective choices being made from a large group of units that would not lead to any particular recognised specialisation.

EXAMPLE Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing The qualification comprises the mandatory core units and a choice of either the surgical or dental specialisation groups. All units in the chosen specialisation must be achieved. Core Units: • Apply haematology and blood chemistry tests, radiography and other test procedures • Co‐ordinate theatre routines • Carry out nursing procedures for routine surgery • Implement clinic office routines • Provide specific animal care advice Surgical specialisation: • Carry out admission and discharge of patients undergoing specialised surgical procedure • Carry out specialised surgical nursing procedures • Facilitate/supervise operating theatre maintenance • Manage the maintenance of surgical clothing and instruments Dental specialisation: • Carry out admission and discharge of dental patients • Manage instrument and equipment maintenance • Produce oral cavity radiographs • Perform dental prophylaxis • Provide veterinary nursing support for dental surgery Note: In core and specialisation models, the same unit can be used in more than one group, and can also be included in groups at different qualification outcomes. 11.4 Core, specialisation and electives model This approach tends to be used for larger, more complex qualifications, covering a wide range of skill areas. It is useful where the qualifications structure accommodates multi‐skilling or a range of previously separate occupational specialisations. There may be different combinations of units that meet certain jurisdictional licensing requirements and these can be identified through this approach. This model usually comprises a small core of essential units, a choice between specialisation groups and an additional or alternative choice from a group of individual units. EXAMPLE Certificate III in Wildlife Protection This Certificate requires completion of 12 units of competency in total. These must comprise the 6 mandatory core units plus all units from any one of the three specialisation groups and any three units from the elective bank. The Certificate may also be gained by achieving competency in any two of the specialist groups without utilising the elective options. GuidelinesQualFrameworks_V3_June 2010 V3 June 2010 Page 17 of 28
