When developers wish to provide advice about pre‐requisite requirements that are not units of<br />

competency from a <strong>Training</strong> Package, they should provide this advice in the Application of the unit<br />

field.<br />

EXAMPLE ‐ units<br />

The unit PMASUP236B Operate vehicles in the field has no pre‐requisites. However operators will<br />

have the appropriate class of driver’s licence before taking charge of the vehicle.<br />

12.1 Effect of pre‐requisites in qualifications<br />

The following example qualification from the MSA07 <strong>Training</strong> Package, asterisks the units that have<br />

pre‐requisites. The qualification notes that the pre‐requisites units are to be counted in the total<br />

number of units required. The note at the end of the qualification then refers the reader to the<br />

prerequisite table of the unit of competency, or the actual unit of competency for details of the prerequisites.<br />

EXAMPLE ‐ qualifications<br />
