Principle 4

The training plan should support competency-based progression and completion of the qualification.

Purpose

To ensure the training plan includes clearly identified milestones to support competency based progression and completion of the qualification.

To achieve this, the process to be employed by the RTO and the role of the employer in confirming the on-the-job competence of the apprentice needs to be clearly defined and understood by the employer and apprentice.

The training plan should include agreed methods of monitoring and assessing competencies including the mechanisms and evidence required for confirming the attainment of competence by the apprentice and the process for notifying the state training authority of the completion.

The training plan should also clearly set out the agreed processes to resolve disputes in regarding the attainment of competence.
