knowledge, skills and experience. Where this is so, entry requirements, or advice on pathways into the training, should be specified for the qualification or training program. Entry requirements do not form part of the qualification, but are specific to the knowledge, skills or experience required to enter a qualification. They should be expressed in terms of competency, units of competency or equivalent, and may include licensing or industry recognised standards. Entry requirements do not have to be specified for a qualification. However, if they are specified, caution should be applied as they can significantly reduce the flexibility of a qualification and limit entry of potential learners. Entry requirements may be expressed as: • The core units of competency of a lower level AQF qualification or equivalent skills and knowledge. • A significant number of units of competency from a lower level AQF qualification or equivalent skills and knowledge. • Specialist units of competency from a related stream or equivalent skills and knowledge. EXAMPLE Before commencing the PUA31102 Certificate III in Public Safety (Driving in a Threat Environment) candidates must hold a current drivers licence. or The following units of competency should be achieved either before or while undertaking HLT42507 Certificate IV in Allied Health Assistance: • HLTHIR301A Communicate and work effectively in health • HLTAH301A Assist with an allied health program • HLTIN301A Comply with infection control policies and procedures in health work • HLTCSD201B Maintain high standard of client service • HLTCSD305B Assist with client movement • HLTAP301A Recognise healthy body systems in a health care context • BSBMED201A Use basic medical terminology EXAMPLE Pathways into the qualification Preferred pathways for candidates considering BSB40507 Certificate IV in Business Administration include: • after achieving the BSB30407 Certificate III in Business Administration or other relevant qualification/s OR • providing evidence of competency in the majority of units required for the BSB30407 Certificate III in Business Administration or other relevant qualification/s OR • vocational experience in providing administrative or operational support to individuals and/or GuidelinesQualFrameworks_V3_June 2010 V3 June 2010 Page 4 of 28
teams but without a formal business administration qualification. Examples of indicative job roles for candidates seeking entry based upon their vocational experience include: • Accounts Receivable Clerk • Accounts Payable Clerk • Clerk • Data Entry Operator • Junior Personal Assistant • Medical Records Officer • Receptionist • Office Administration Assistant • Office Administrator • Word Processing Operator. This breadth of expertise would equate to the competencies required to undertake this qualification. EXAMPLE ‐ qualifications In CPC31108 Certificate III in Steelfixing The construction industry strongly affirms that training and assessment leading to recognition of skills must be undertaken in a real or very closely simulated workplace environment and this qualification requires all units of competency to be delivered in this context. Completion of the general induction training program specified by the National Code of Practice for Induction Training for Construction Work (SAC 2006) is required before entering a construction worksite. Achievement of unit CPCCOHS1001A covers this requirement. 1.2 During training Include advice in the Training Package about the range of pathways that may be taken to successfully complete a qualification or a program of training. For example: • Work‐based training and assessment. • Institution‐based training and assessment. • A combination of work‐based and institution‐based training and assessment. • Assessment only. • Recognition of prior learning (RPL). • Recognition of current competency (RCC). • A combination of training and assessment and RPL.. 1.3 After training While it is not mandatory to provide advice in a Training Package on pathways after the completion of a qualification or training program, such advice can be useful. Advice could be provided about typical job roles or further study an individual may take after completing the qualification or training program. This includes advice on possible career pathways and the linkages the qualification or training program has with higher AQF level qualifications. Advice provided in the Training Package should assist RTOs to in turn advise participants on the GuidelinesQualFrameworks_V3_June 2010 V3 June 2010 Page 5 of 28
