Statement on competency-based training

This nationally recognised vocational education and training (VET) qualification is 
competency-based. 
This means that it is designed to enable you to develop the practical skills and 
knowledge (competency) needed to perform the duties and tasks in the job you are 
training for.
Assessment in a competency-based program is about being able to demonstrate 
that you have developed these practical skills and areas of knowledge, and that you 
can perform at the standard required in the job. This could involve showing an 
assessor how you plan and carry out tasks and explaining to the assessor how you 
know what you are doing. It could also involve completing a project and presenting a 
report on the process and outcomes. If you are working, your work supervisor may 
provide the assessor with a report on your competency.
If you have already developed areas of skill and knowledge included in this program 
(e.g. through prior paid or voluntary work experience), you can be assessed and 
have these skills and knowledge formally recognised at any point during the 
program. There is information on the RMIT University website about how to apply for 
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) – refer to 
https://www.rmit.edu.au/students/student-essentials/enrolment/apply-for-credit

Employability Skills

In addition to developing skills and knowledge for a particular job, this program also aims to help you to develop broad work skills, known as Employability Skills. There are eight employability skills:

  • communication
  • teamwork
  • problem solving
  • initiative and enterprise
  • planning and organising
  • self-management
  • learning
  • technology

Employability skills are “embedded” in the units of competency in your program. When you demonstrate that you are competent in your particular job skills and knowledge, you are also demonstrating that you have developed relevant employability skills.
