What a mess!

The National Skills Standards Council (NSSC), as a

successor of the National Quality Council (NQC), sets

the qualifications or competencies that must be held,

as a minimum, by trainers, persons delivering training

under supervision, and assessors in the VET sector.

(refer to AQTF Standard 1.4(a), and SNR for NVR RTOs 4.4(a) and SNR 15.4(a)).

Who sets the HR requirements?

The NSSC has endorsed a new Determination for

Training and Assessment competencies to be held by

Trainers and Assessors (Refer to Appendix A).

New Determination

NSSC Communiqué 3 – Dec 2011

The NSSC agreed to a transition period to 1 July

2013 to allow providers time to adopt a planned

approach to ensuring all trainers and assessors meet

the requirements of this Determination.

Transition period

The Determination endorsed (Appendix A) by the NSSC

at its meeting of 8 December 2011 replaces the NQC

Determination dated 17 June 2010, which was due

to take effect on 17 June 2012 (Appendix 2).

The NQC Determination of 18 December 2009 (Appendix

3) will continue to apply during the transition period (i.e.

to 1 July 2013).

Clear as MUD!
