Application

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to research and develop nationally recognised training products to address work functions and processes, job roles and vocational outcomes; and reflect the features of quality products.
It applies to those who work under limited supervision and use a range of specialised analytical or managerial skills, in researching and developing training products, which may be either nationally recognised or aligned with other recognised frameworks. The products developed in this unit are not those that vocational education and training (VET) teachers, trainers and assessors use to deliver training and assessment.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
