Skill sets enter the training system

The National Quality Council has announced that from 2007 there will be formal recognition of groups of units that lead to a defined industry need. Recognition will also be provided for groups of units that meet licensing or regulatory body requirements.

This recognition will be provided through the development of nationally endorsed ‘skill sets', defined by the council as:
"one or more units that meet an industry need to provide skills for a discrete part or function of a job and have currency in the workplace."

For more information on skill sets in given training packages contact the relevant Industry Skills Council via www.isc.org.au . For details of professional development activities on skill sets, or to obtain further information about skill sets generally please contact Precision Consultancy (03) 9606 0118 or This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
