Testing a proposed new approach to qualification design
In this project, we will consult with key stakeholders to test ‘Purpose 2’ of the proposed purpose-driven, principles-based qualification model developed by the Qualification Reform Design Group across the current Certificate II qualifications in the AUR—Automotive Retail, Service, and Repair training package.
Key stages of the work
Stage 1 includes:
- Initial desktop review and analysis of various data sets, enrolment and completion data
- Identification of overlap and opportunities to remove duplication of skills/knowledge
- Identification of potentially unnecessarily prescriptive requirements of units that could be revised with a view to reducing specificity
- Exploration of intersections with relevant Certificate III qualifications and potential barriers to credit transfer
- Development of opportunities to focus on shared skills and knowledge with a view to maximising the transferability of skill and knowledge from these pathways qualifications into a broad range of occupations within the automotive sector
- Develop and conduct consultation with the steering committee and other key stakeholders on the proposed rationalisation of Certificate II qualifications.
- Submission of initial report.
Stage 2 includes:
- Development of a consolidated single (or small number of) Certificate II qualification(s) aligned to the definition of a Purpose 2 qualification.
- Development of several units (potentially no more than 3) to provide examples that inform more comprehensive advice to Skills Ministers prepared by the Design Group.
- Submission of the final report.
