  11. Quality for VET – minimum qualifications for trainers and assessors The period during which trainers (as per #1) and persons delivering training under direct supervision (as per #2) can work without holding the minimum competencies relevant to their roles is limited to two years. The amended determination will be published in mid December 2011, with RTOs required to comply by 1 July 2013.

  12. Quality for VET – minimum qualifications for trainers and assessors The competency requirements applying to assessors remain unchanged. The requirement to demonstrate vocational competencies at least to the level being assessed also remains unchanged. NSSC agreed to not amend the Determination of Trainer and Assessor Competencies for Trainers and Assessors to require equivalent competency to be demonstrated through a formal RPL process, which was recommended by the Productivity Commission’s Research Report on the VET Workforce (April 2011).
