Automotive Training Australia Limited (ATA), the national automotive industry training body, has been contracted by the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) to undertake the development, maintenance and continuous improvement of the automotive training packages through to 31st January 2009.
As the body responsible for these training packages, ATA has developed a continuous improvement process including a “Design Improvement Register” which is accessible via the ATA website: www.automotivetraining.org.au. Standing Committees representative of stake holders in both the industry and training provider sectors have been established.
It is ATA’s role to ensure that the training packages are maintained as both current and future orientated. Therefore, it is essential that interested parties continuously assess the packages from a content and delivery aspect. As part of the continuous improvement process, ATA is also contracted to provide DEEWR with informed advice as the leader of the automotive industry.

Skill Sets ATA has also been contracted to undertake a Skills Set Identification and Development Project.
Purpose Identifying and developing Skill Sets which: • meet requirements set by a licensing or regulatory authority • meet identified industry needs or outcomes • reflect specific work functions that do not require a full qualification
Skill Sets Defined Skill sets are defined as those single units or combinations of units which link to a licence or regulatory requirement, or defined industry need. Skill sets are not a new qualification within the national training framework, but they are a way of publicly identifying on a Statement of Attainment, logical groupings of units of competence which meet an identified need or industry outcome.
There are three possibilities in relation to the identification of skill sets by developers of national training packages: • The developer determines on the basis of industry need that there are no national skill sets identified • The developer determines on the basis of industry need that one or more skill sets can be identified within its training package • The developer determines on the basis of industry need that there is the potential for skill sets to be formed consisting of units from within this training package combined with units from another training package.
Examples of where a Skill Set may be developed in a training package • a group of units of competence identified as meeting a requirement set by an agency external to the VET sector – eg national licence, regulatory requirement or professional body membership • a group of units of competence which have a commonly understood meaning in the industry. An example may be worksite induction requirements • units of competence that constitute a specialist role that would benefit from separate identification • grouped units from a specialist qualification that could be a useful addition to another, more general, qualification • units of competence from one package that could be used with a qualification from another package
ATA has completed an industry wide consultation process within individual States and Territories to determine industry feedback regarding the need and recommendations for the inclusion of Skill Sets within automotive industry training packages. This information will now be consolidated and validated on a National basis.
Skills for Sustainability ATA has commenced work on the inclusion of Skills for Sustainability in all units of competence within automotive training packages. Draft units will be available for industry validation early 2009.
