PSFM-172.05 Queensland VET Development Centre Uncontrolled Copy if printedTRANSITION ARRANGEMENTS – GENERAL PRINCIPLESAre there official policies for transitioning to new Training Package qualifications?Yes. The national policy for transitioning is stated in the Training Package DevelopmentHandbook – Training Packages Policy, available at the following website:http://www.deewr.gov.au/Skills/Overview/Policy/TPDH/Trainingpackages/Pages/Policy.aspxWhat is the difference between a Training Package’s endorsement date and its releasedate?Endorsement refers to the date on which the Training Package was approved by theNational Quality Council (NQC). There is then an interval while the data is uploaded to theNational Training Information Service (NTIS). The release date is the date on which theTraining Package is released live on the NTIS.How long is the national transition period?Transition from previous Training Package qualifications to revised Training Packagequalifications must be completed within 12 months from the release date of the revisedqualification on the NTIS. There should be no new student enrolments into supersededqualifications or units of competency after the 12 month transition deadline date.What are RTOs’ obligations in transitioning to replacement qualifications?The RTO should advise students and employers about the revised qualification(s) and therequirements associated with transition or teach out. The RTO should review the status andprogress of existing students to determine if they can complete their studies before the 12month transition deadline date. Students who cannot complete their studies before thedeadline date should be transitioned to the new qualification, provided this causes no severedisruption or disadvantage to the student.How does teach out operate?For students who have not completed their studies and have not transitioned to the newqualification, a 2 year period is permitted for teach out under the old/previous qualification.The 2 year teach out period will commence from the 12 month transition deadline date.Teach out only applies to continuing students who are already enrolled into the old/previousqualification before the 12 month transition deadline date.When can RTOs apply for new or revised Training Package qualifications?RTOs should apply for registration immediately upon availability of the Training Package,either as a publication obtainable from TVET Australia or the relevant Industry Skills Council,or when it appears on the NTIS. Publication by the above agencies may be entitled as „prerelease‟version and can be used by training providers to initiate their registrationsubmissions, however registration will not be activated until the Package is released on theNTIS. Superseded qualifications will be removed from the RTO‟s scope of registrationshortly after the 12 month transition period has passed.What transition arrangements apply to traineeships and apprenticeships?Following the national release of revised qualifications, processes occur at StateGovernment level to identify which qualifications may be delivered as traineeships orapprenticeships. Once approved, these declarations are published on the QueenslandTraining Information Service (QTIS) along with specified dates for implementation of the newversions and phasing out of the superseded versions. The QTIS also provides detailsconcerning User Choice funding where applicable.Training Package BSB07 V4.0 & V5.0Queensland Transition Guide Version 4.0.
