Introduction

This Guide has been generated to enable the stakeholders in this Industry in Western Australia to participate in the managed implementation of the National ACM Animal Care and Management Training Package.

This Guide is designed to aid Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) to convert from existing Training Package qualifications to new Training Package qualifications within the scope of their training delivery.

The Guide should be read in conjunction with the endorsed components of the Training Package.

Version 1 of the ACM Animal Care and Management Training Package was released by Training.Gov.Au (TGA) on the 29/11/2017.

Transition Arrangements

Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) are required to deliver Training Package qualifications in accordance with the Standards for RTOs. For further information visit the Training Accreditation Council website www.tac.wa.gov.au.

Nominal Hours

Nominal hours are the hours of training notionally required to achieve the outcomes of units of competency.

Nominal hours are identified for nationally endorsed qualifications. Nominal hours may vary for a qualification depending on the selection of units of competency.

In Western Australia, nominal hours are used as a mechanism for funding allocation.
