The Training Regulations (TR) serve as basis for the: 1. Competency assessment and certification; 2. Registration and delivery of training programs; and 3. Development of curriculum and assessment instruments. Each TR has four sections: Section 1 Definition of Qualification - describes the qualification and defines the competencies that comprise the qualification. Section 2 Competency Standards - was revised to include the Required Knowledge and Required Skills per element. These fields explicitly state the required knowledge and skills for competent performance of a unit of competency in an informed and effective manner.
These also emphasize the application of knowledge and skills to situations where understanding is converted into a workplace outcome. Section 3 Training Arrangements - contain the information and requirements which serve as bases for training providers in designing and delivering competency-based curriculum for the qualification. The revisions to Section 3 entail identifying the Learning Activities leading to achievement of the identified Learning Outcome. Section 4 Assessment and Certification Arrangements - describe the policies governing assessment and certification procedures for the qualification.
