Annual Training Product Development Plan

We listen to feedback from the automotive and mining industries and use insights from our Workforce Plan to develop and improve our training products.

The Annual Training Product Development Plan outlines our training product development activities.

Guided by the requirements of the Training Package Products Development and Endorsement Process Policy (TPPDEPP), the plan includes:

an outline of the training products to be developed
the schedule for training product development including project prioritisation
the reasoning for the prioritisation of the work.

Project timeline

Start date: January 2025

Expected completion date: February 2026

Prioritisation: Fast track. The training product update is important given the health and safety implications and consequences for graduates who potentially are employed on mine sites.

Scope

This project will consult with stakeholders to review and update the current Automotive Tyre Servicing Technology Training Products for the AUR – Automotive Retail, Service and Repair Training Package.

The primary focus will be the review of AUR21920 – Certificate II in Automotive Tyre Servicing Technology, however, because many of the units of competency from this qualification are used in other qualifications, there will be implications for multiple other qualifications.

Project timeline

Start date: November 2024

Expected completion date: December 2025

Prioritisation: Routine. The project timeframe reflects the need for strong consultation, potential revisions to existing units of competency and/or development of new units of competency.

Scope

AUSMASA will collaborate with BuildSkills on this project, as some of the training products have implications for stakeholders in the mining sector and civil construction.

This project will consult with stakeholders to review and revise the following training products and where agreed, develop new training products.

Project timeline

Start date: October 2024

Expected completion date: November 2025

Prioritisation: Routine. H₂-FCEVs are an emerging technology, and by commencing development work now, AUSMASA can ensure as the need for trained H₂-FCEV Technicians increases there will be nationally recognised Training Products available for RTOs to deliver to meet the needs of industry.

Scope

This project will consult with stakeholders to develop new Training Products for the AUR – Automotive Retail, Service and Repair Training Package for the safe handling and maintenance of H₂-FCEV components.

Training Package Review of Superseded Units of Competency

Project timeline

Start date: March 2024

Expected completion date: June 2025

Prioritisation: Routine. The project timeframe reflects the need communicated by stakeholders with interest across all three training packages.

Scope

This project will undertake a desktop review of qualifications to identify which superseded units of competency are listed in current qualifications and skill sets from these training packages:

AUR - Automotive Retail, Service and Repair Training Package

AUM – Automotive Manufacturing Training Package

RII – Resources and Infrastructure Training Package (Mining)

We will consult with stakeholders to propose updating qualifications with relevant current units of competency in place of any superseded units.

Project timeline

Start date: March 2024

Expected completion date: June 2025

Prioritisation: Routine. Training products need to be updated but the change is not urgent or complex based on industry intelligence and analysis.

Scope

This project will undertake a desktop review of enrolment data from 2019-2023 to identify training products that have had low or no enrolments from these training packages:

AUR - Automotive Retail, Service and Repair Training Package

AUM – Automotive Manufacturing Training Package

RII – Resources and Infrastructure Training Package (Mining)

We will consult with stakeholders to identify the root cause of enrolment numbers and explore options for redressing issues.
