Standard 10.14 – Specialist facilities and resources

VET accredited courses must specify specialist facilities and the vocational competency requirements of trainers and assessors essential for the delivery of the course.

This Standard relates to Section B: 6.2 and 7.2 of the National course document template.

Your course document should provide information on any required specialist facilities and resources needed to deliver the course. This includes the requirements for trainers and assessors as specified in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) 2015 and, if applicable, any additional specialist vocational requirements for trainers and assessors.

Rather than specifying the requirements for trainers and assessors from the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) 2015, you may include the following generic statements in the course document:

  • Section B: 6.2 – All assessment must be undertaken by assessors who meet the requirements stated to apply under the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) 2015.
  • Section B: 7.2 – All delivery must be undertaken by trainers who meet the requirements stated to apply under the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) 2015.

Specialist vocational competency requirements for trainers and assessors

Accredited courses may require trainers and/or assessors to hold vocational requirements in addition to those specified in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) 2015. You should consider all units of competency (including imported units) in your proposed course to ensure that any specific requirements for trainers and assessors are met.

Details of specialist vocational competency requirements for assessors and trainers should be identified in Sections B: 6.2 and 7.2 of the course document, respectively.

Where you do identify additional requirements for trainers or assessors, you will need to include a justification in the relevant section.

Specialist facilities and resources

Section B: 7.2 Resources in the National course document template requires you to identify any specialist facilities and resources needed for training and/or assessment.

These may:

  • have been determined by key stakeholders in the development of the course and enterprise units of competency
  • relate to imported units of competency and be required by the parent training package or implementation guide
  • relate to imported units of competency from other VET accredited courses and be required by that VET accredited course.
