Back 2 Basics

Australia has one of the world's best vocational education and training (VET) systems. For someone new to the sector, there is a lot of information to absorb to operate effectively. Training Packages @ Work: Back 2 Basics is an easy-to-read guide that simplifies the system.

It provides a starting point to help VET practitioners navigate a path through the maze.

The publication is organised into three sections: 'system basics' covers administrative and regulatory aspects of the training system; 'delivery basics' covers issues relating to the delivery of training under the national training system; and 'basics help' has information on key contacts and resources and a glossary.

In keeping with the approach taken by Training Packages @ Work, this publication:

  • avoids jargon
  • focuses on best practice
  • provides contacts for more information.

This is by no means a definitive guide to the VET system in Australia, but it is a handy means of accessing the information needed on a daily basis.
