Training Package Support Materials

REVIEW OF THE NOTING PROCESS

At its 4 December 2008 meeting the National Quality Council decided that the Training Package support materials Noting Process will be reviewed in early 2009. The council also requested that:

  • The Noting Process be put on hold pending the outcomes of the review.
  • Resources which commenced evaluation by a Quality Assurance Consultant prior to 12 December 2008 could be submitted for ‘noting’ by the NQC as per the existing process.
  • No new Noting Process evaluations are to be commenced until further notice.

The Review of the Noting Process, managed by the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations, was completed in May 2009.

The National Quality Council (NQC) is expected to consider recommendations from the Review in June 2009.

Training Package support materials are resources to help learners, trainers, assessors and employers implement training and assessment based on the units of competency, assessment guidelines and qualifications from a Training Package. Support materials are not mandated. The materials may include assessor resources, learner and/or trainer resources, professional development materials, promotional material and Training Package guides designed to inform Registered Training Organisations and employers in the use of Training Packages. 

Support materials can be specific to an individual Training Package or be suitable for use across a number of, or all, Training Packages. They can be developed in a range of formats for a variety of audiences to suit different learning styles and delivery contexts, and can include printed materials, CD-ROMs, videos, web-based resources or libraries or a combination of any of these.


Any organisation or person who has developed Training Package support materials and owns copyright may have the products evaluated, by an approved Quality Assurance Consultant, against the National Quality Council (NQC) Noted Quality Principles. Consultant fees for the evaluation are met by the developer. Products that meet the NQC Noted Quality Principles are noted by the NQC, can carry the ‘noted tick’ logo and can be listed on the National Training Information Service (http://www.ntis.gov.au).  Please note: Due to technical difficulties with the NTIS website, noted Training Package support materials are currently available at the following link: http://www.training.com.au/portal/site/public/menuitem.2bfb89a692f0f35f4994201017a62dbc/.

The Noting Process is currently managed by the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations. For further information on the Noting Process contact Aimee Benge on telephone (02) 6240 9299 or email Aimee.Benge@deewr.gov.au.
