Publisher's Synopsis
The new edition of this guide has been updated to include key features of the Australian Qualification Framework. Terminology associated with the implementation of the Training Packages (and associated competency standards) has been included for clarification. The aim of the text is to make the system transparent by explaining how it works, how performance is assessed and how people can apply for recognition of the prior learning. Two sample portfolios of candidates applying for recognition have been included. The author explains a complex system in a user-friendly way.
