OVERVIEW
The Transport and Logistics Industry Skills Council (TLISC) covers a broad range of industry
sectors including:
Aviation
Maritime
Ports
Rail
Road Transport
Logistics and Warehousing.
The MAR Maritime Training Package Version 1.0, which was endorsed in October 2013 was
developed to ensure close alignment with the regulatory requirements of the National
Standard for Commercial Vessels (NSCV) Part D and includes near coastal qualifications and
relevant units of competency.
Following the endorsement of the MAR Maritime Training Package Version 1.0, TLISC was
approached by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) to develop skill
sets that covered certification requirements as specified in the Radiocommunications Act
1992. ACMA also requested that a skill set be developed for those wishing to use a marine
radio in the coastal waters of Australia that provides the knowledge and skills to operate the
radio effectively.
The fast rescue craft operations unit of competency was developed as part of the MAR13
Maritime Training Package to align with the Standards of Training, Certification and
Watchkeeping (STCW) Table A-VI/2-2. However, there was a delay in finalising the unit of
competency and skill set, which prevented both components being submitted to the NSSC for
consideration at the same time as the MAR13 Maritime Training Package.
Components to be considered by NSSC for endorsement: (refer to Appendix A)
four units of competency
four Skill Sets.
Submitted as an ISC upgrade:
Amendments to MARO003 Transmit and receive information by the global maritime
distress and safety system.
The units of competency and skill sets meet the requirements of the Standards for Training
Packages. This has been confirmed by the independent Quality Report (refer to Appendix B).
Stakeholder agreement has been obtained for the components of the Training Package being
submitted for endorsement. There are no outstanding issues related to any of these
components.
5
SECTION 1 – RESPONSIVENESS & RECOGNITION QUALITY
PRINCIPLES
Reflecting contemporary work organisation and job profiles
A reference group was established for radio operations with representation from the
Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), the Australian Maritime Safety
Authority, Volunteer Marine Rescue and the Australian Maritime College.
Job roles were established and drafts units and skill sets developed and circulated to a broad
range of stakeholders. Comments and suggested changes were analysed and amendments
made. The material was then placed on the TLISC website for validation.
The units of competency and skill sets have been developed to reflect the current and future
needs of the maritime industry and are a direct response to the certification requirements of
the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), the Australian Maritime Safety
Authority (AMSA).
Driven by industry needs
The Government’s new shipping reforms introduced new structural and regulatory changes
that are aimed at revitalising Australia’s Maritime Industry. The MAR Maritime Training
Package and subsequent units of competency and skill sets will assist the Maritime Industry
to meet these requirements.
In addition to the overall trigger of the changes to regulations, the materials submitted have
been revised as a result of a review by industry stakeholders.
Responding to government broad policy initiatives
On 16 November 2012 the Standing Council on Tertiary Education, Skills and Employment
endorsed the Standards for Training Packages. The units of competency and skill sets
submitted for endorsement comply with these standards.
Under the new Marine Safety (Domestic Commercial Vessel) National Law, in March 2013,
AMSA became the maritime national regulator for commercial vessel safety regulation,
delivering a national system in Australia for the first time.
The units of competency and skill sets submitted for endorsement are directly aligned with the
educational requirements specified by marine authorities for regulated occupations within:
coastal operations as described and defined in Part D of the National Standard for
Commercial Vessels (NSCV)
ocean-going operations as defined in Marine Orders under the Australian Navigation Act
2012.
In addition, the radio operations skill sets are a direct alignment to the Australian
Communications and Media Authority’s (ACMA) certification requirements as specified in the
Radiocommunications Act 1992.
6
Recognising convergence and connectivity of skills
Although the proposed units of competency and skill sets have been developed specifically to
address regulatory requirements in the maritime industry they also have cross industry
application. The convergence and connectivity of skills is recognised through the units being
available to other industries to import into their qualifications.
Supporting movement of skills within and across organisations and sectors
While the units of competency are specific to the Maritime Industry, it is anticipated that other
industries and sectors with a link to the Maritime Industry (such as fishing, tourism, harbor
craft, public safety) will find the proposed units of competency and skill sets applicable to their
situation.
Promoting national and international portability
The proposed units of competency and skill sets have national portability. They are structured
to meet the regulatory requirements of the Maritime Industry and as such are recognised
nationally and internationally. All MAR Maritime Training Package units of competency are
based on international standards, where they apply.
Reflecting licensing and regulatory requirements
Regulatory reform has been the main driver in developing the MAR Maritime Training
Package and subsequent units of competency and skill sets.
The proposed units of competency and skill sets meet the educational requirements for
certification. This information is identified in the Companion Volume Implementation Guide.
People seeking certification are advised to check with ACMA or AMSA.
7
SECTION 2 – FLEXIBILITY & FUNCTIONALITY QUALITY
PRINCIPLES
Meeting the diversity of individual and enterprise needs
The proposed units of competency and skill sets are structured to meet the regulatory
requirements of the Maritime Industry. The units clearly indicate where they are currently
cited as meeting ACMA requirements and some of the requirements for certification by AMSA
and that people seeking such certification should check with ACMA/AMSA.
Supporting equitable access and progression of learners
There are no prerequisite units of competency. In each unit of competency the guidance
information for assessment states that ‘Assessment processes and techniques must be
appropriate to the language and literacy requirements of the work being performed and the
capacity of the candidate’.
Supporting learner transition between education sectors
The MAR Maritime Training Package supports learner transition between education sectors
by allowing direct entry to units of competency.
Supporting implementation across a range of settings
The MAR Maritime Training Package Companion Volume Implementation Guide provides
advice on implementation.
The assessment requirements support implementation across a range of settings and can be
modified for distance-based learners, be culturally appropriate, and suitable to the
communication skill level, language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the
work being performed.
Supporting sound assessment practice
The requirements for assessment within the proposed units of competency specify:
performance evidence
knowledge evidence
assessment conditions.
Evidence of performance must be provided to demonstrate that the learner has successfully
met the requirements of the elements and performance criteria in the units of competency.
The frequency and volume of this evidence is to be determined by the assessor and would
vary depending on the context under which assessment is conducted and the aptitude of the
learner.
This approach supports AMSA’s requirements for certification to be about an individual’s
progression through certification requirements (and by implication Training Package
qualifications), as well as the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) principle that ‘quality
and quantity of evidence presented reflects that all aspects of competency have been
satisfied and that competency can be demonstrated repeatedly’.
8
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is
recommended.
Support implementation through compliance with National Register
requirements
The materials have been written to comply with the Standards for Training Packages and with
NSCV Part D and the NSCV Part D skills and knowledge requirements, the Standards of
Training, Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW) Table A-VI/2-2 and the
Radiocommunications Act 1992.
9
SECTION 3 – IMPACT OF CHANGES
There are no known structural barriers to the implementation of the proposed units of
competency or skill sets.
Industry priorities and expectations
Industry priorities are that the proposed units of competency and skill sets reflect the
certification requirements of ACMA and AMSA and that training provider’s focus on providing
quality training and assessment that meets the outcomes identified in the units of
competency.
Industry’s imperatives and timelines for implementation of the components
The National Standard for Commercial Vessels (NSCV) was endorsed in May 2013 and is
currently being implemented. It is therefore critical that the proposed units of competency and
skill sets are implemented from 1 January 2014.
Overarching expectations of industry for the delivery/assessment of the
components
No impact.
Public/private training and assessment services
The proposed units of competency will replace the relevant units of competency in TDM07
Maritime Training Package V1.0.
RTOs wanting to deliver and/or assess against the proposed units of competency will need to
update their scope of registration accordingly. The revised assessment requirements in all
units will assist application in a variety of environments and workplace contexts.
Enterprises
No impact.
Licensing and regulatory environment
No negative impact the radio units are consistent with the requirements of the
Radiocommunications (Maritime Ship Station – 27 MHz and VHF) Class Licence 2001.
Policy environment
Training and VET policies were addressed through the development process.
10
Systemic issues
Key issues that will ensure the effective implementation of the proposed units o competency
and skill sets include robust and reliable assessment by RTOs, especially in relation to skills
recognition practices
APPENDIX A: COMPONENTS FOR ENDORSEMENT
Units of competency
MARC019 Transmit and receive information by marine VHF radio within Australian Territorial Waters

MARS00012 Fast Rescue Craft Operations Skill Set
Advice on occupational and licensing requirements
In March 2013 AMSA became the maritime national regulator for commercial vessel safety
regulation. AMSA also assumed the maintenance and development of the NSCV. The NSCV
is the standard prescribed in the Marine Safety (Domestic Commercial Vessel) National Law
Act 2012. NSCV Part D is the prescribed standard in Marine Order 505 for crew
competencies.
The proposed units of competency are structured to meet the regulatory requirements of
ACMA (in particular the Radiocommunications (Maritime Ship Station – 27 MHz and VHF)
Class Licence 2001) and AMSA
Credit arrangements existing between Training Package qualifications and
higher education qualifications
Currently there are no credit transfer arrangements between qualifications/units of
competency in this Training Package and higher education qualifications.
