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: February 2025
Expected completion date: March 2026
Prioritisation: Routine. The project timeframe reflects the need for strong consultation and potential revisions to existing units of competency.
Scope
This project will consult with stakeholders to develop new Training Products for the AUR – Automotive Retail, Service and Repair Training Package that reflect the skills and knowledge required by a range of automotive occupations to calibrate ADAS in vehicles following servicing, replacement or repair work.
Project timeline
Start date: February 2025
Expected completion date: April 2026
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.
Training products for review
Project timeline
Start date: February 2025
Expected completion date: April 2026
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 Australia to review the following units of competency in the RII - Resources and Infrastructure Industry Training Package relevant to the mining sector:
These units are shared by both the mining and civil infrastructure sectors.
Training products for review
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.
Training products for review
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.
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.
