2015 CASE FOR ENDORSEMENT
Overview
The SIS Sport, Fitness and Recreation Training Package V2.0
submission
This Case for Endorsement supports the proposed components in the SIS Sport, Fitness and
Recreation Training Package V2.0. This second submission for the SIS Sport, Fitness and
Recreation Training Package follows the endorsement of Version 1.0 by the Australian
Industry and Skills Committee on 1 September 2015, which comprised components for the
fitness, aquatics and community recreation sectors.
The proposed training package components (see Appendix A: Components for Endorsement)
for this second submission comprise:

Five new and/or revised sport and recreation qualifications across AQF Levels 1 to 5.
This second project sought to review and update the suite of sport and recreation and
community recreation qualifications to reflect current industry needs and to streamline and
simplify the training package. Key outcomes of the review have been:




retention of the Certificate I in Sport and Recreation to provide secondary school
students and disengaged youth with a pathway that provides lifelong learning skills
e.g. communication and teamwork as well as playing sport to improve fitness levels.
merging of the following qualifications to ensure better reflection of job roles that
exist in industry, support a broader range of career outcomes and reduce duplication:
o SIS20113 Certificate II in Community Activities merged with SIS20313
Certificate II in Sport and Recreation
o SIS40113 Certificate IV in Community Recreation merged with SIS40412
Certificate IV in Sport and Recreation.
change in the structure of the Diploma of Sport and Recreation Management,
removing the requirement to complete a specialist group to better support career
outcomes and the changing ‘multiskilling’ needs of industry.
removal of restrictive packaging rules regarding the selection of elective units of
competency.
The proposed training package components have been developed in accordance with the
Training Package Development and Endorsement Process Policy, the Training Package
Products Policy, and to meet the Standards for Training Packages (2012). This has been
confirmed by the independent Quality Report completed by a member of the national Quality
Panel (Appendix B: Quality Reports).
The SIS Sport, Fitness and Recreation Training Package V2.0 also includes 89 new imported
units of competency from eight endorsed training packages, and is supported by an updated
Companion Volume Implementation Guide which will be available on the Service Skills
Australia website upon endorsement.
Industry rationale
Industry intelligence has identified changing workforce requirements arising from new
innovation and technology practices and organisational models, and a shift in what the
community needs and expects from the sport and community recreation sector—as reflected
in the sector’s growing role in community engagement and allied health.
Similar to many other service sectors, the sport and community recreation sector needs to
realign its workforce skills to position for growth areas. The sport and community recreation
Page 5 of 61
SPORT, FITNESS AND RECREATION TRAINING PACKAGE
2015 CASE FOR ENDORSEMENT
sector now works more closely with the allied health sector to address the health issues
related to the ageing population and the growing rate of obesity. This has created a need for
new skills to work appropriately with a changing client profile, such as communicating with
diverse populations as Australia becomes an even more multi-cultural society.
The importance and nature of the sector is also increasing as the broader health benefits of
recreation centres are realised, such as assisting with mental health and social inclusion,
particularly for older adults, people living with a disability, and other marginalised groups. As
noted by the United Nations, ‘Sport can play an important role in reducing social tensions and
conflicts at the community and national level by addressing the sources of this exclusion and
providing an alternative entry point into the social and economic life of communities.’ 1
Similarly in Australia, the Supporting Healthy Communities through Sports and Recreation
Programs report, produced by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare and the
Australian Institute of Family Studies, found many links between participating in sport and
improved physical and mental wellbeing, as well as improved social cohesion and inclusion.2
As a result, recreation centres and other similar venues are increasingly seen as places to
engage marginalised groups and culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities.
Units of competency have been included related to developing and implementing community
programs, facilitating groups, and facilitating inclusion for those with a disability as well as
developing and manging community health and leisure-related programming.
The operating models of this sector have also changed in response to a variety of forces.
New skills are needed as a result of the industry-wide push towards more financially, socially
and environmentally sustainable practices. There is also the continued increase in the use of
new technologies, such as social media and the automation of some operations and
monitoring systems. Finally, in response to cost pressures and the decreasing availability of
land in urban areas, integrated sport and recreation facilities are increasingly becoming the
norm of the sector. This has created increased demands for communication, customer
service, marketing and business management skills, which are currently in short supply.
Elective options are available across the suite of qualifications to address these needs; both
the Certificate IV in Sport and Recreation and the Diploma of Sport and Recreation
Management include core units to meet the customer service, marketing and business
management skills that have been identified as in short supply.
Both the 2014 and 2015 Service Skills Australia Sport, Fitness and Recreation Environmental
Scans identified these trends and issues relating to the sport and community recreation
sector. These were similarly noted in the Service Skills Australia 2014-2015 Continuous
Improvement Plan and are reflected in the proposed components of this submission.
The process
The development of the SIS Sport, Fitness and Recreation Training Package commenced in
2013 and was overseen by the Sport, Fitness and Recreation Industry Advisory Committee
(IAC). This was supplemented by the significant involvement of key industry stakeholders to
ensure the quality and responsiveness of training package components to the needs of
industry.

2015 CASE FOR ENDORSEMENT
Section 1: Responsiveness and recognition
quality principles
The SIS Sport, Fitness and Recreation Training Package V2.0 meets the quality principles of
responsiveness and recognition, as outlined in the following section.
Reflects contemporary work organisation and job profiles
Open and inclusive consultation and validation commensurate with scope and impact
This review was driven by key industry stakeholders and overseen by the Sport, Fitness and
Recreation Industry Advisory Committee (IAC) to ensure that adequate and appropriate
consultation was undertaken.
The proposed training package components were developed throughout the stages outlined
in Table 1, ensuring extensive national consultation and validation. A Review Guide was
developed for each draft to assist with stakeholder understanding of the review process. This
provided stakeholders with a clear and concise summary of all proposed changes that
resulted from nationally consistent feedback and their rationale.
Broad and diverse stakeholder involvement in the review was encouraged through the use of
the following communication and promotion channels:



e-mail updates and monthly newsletters to industry contacts subscribed to the
Service Skills Australia website
posts on social media sites, such as twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn
industry and VET partners’ assistance to disseminate updates through their networks,
including the Industry Advisory Committee, other industry peak bodies, state and
territory industry training advisory bodies and state training authorities.
A variety of participation channels was also used to ensure openness and inclusivity,
including a webinar for those who were unable to attend face-to-face consultation sessions.
A diverse and extensive range of stakeholders were consulted throughout the review,
including employers, representative and peak bodies and registered training organisations
(RTOs). Additionally, a number of peak bodies involved in this review have extensive
engagement with traditionally under-represented groups, such as regional and remote
populations, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, culturally and linguistically diverse groups,
older people and those with a disability. A complete list of consultation participants is provided
in Appendix D: Stakeholder Involvement.
Changes are in line with trends identified in the Environmental Scans and other
industry research activities
Research into the contemporary job roles and required skills in the sport and community
recreation sectors was conducted during the scoping phase. This involved interviews and
forums with stakeholders, and collating and analysing job descriptions, job advertisements,
and organisational structure diagrams. This was complemented with research undertaken for
the 2014 and 2015 Service Skills Australia Sport, Fitness and Recreation Environmental
Scans, which identified the latest industry intelligence and workforce development needs. A
strong area of need that was identified and addressed in the proposed training package
Page 9 of 61
SPORT, FITNESS AND RECREATION TRAINING PACKAGE
2015 CASE FOR ENDORSEMENT
components is the need for greater communication skills. This comes as a result of the
growing role of recreation centres in engaging marginalised and culturally diverse groups,
particularly among older and rural communities. The suite of revised qualifications include
units of competency to address this skill need including: BSBCMM101 Apply basic
communication skills, CHCCOM001 Provide first point of contact and SISXCCS003 Address
client needs.
Driven by industry needs
The review was driven by needs identified by industry through the Environmental Scans,
feedback received through the Service Skills Australia online Feedback Register and
additional research activities. Key industry stakeholders, which represented the breadth of the
sector, assisted in articulating skills and knowledge needs throughout the project, as well as
providing connections and networks for further consultation. These stakeholders and details
of their involvement are listed in Appendix C: Industry committees and expert groups.
The review of existing qualifications ensured that the proposed qualifications:



supported the attainment of a broad range of skills and knowledge required by a more
flexible workforce
reflected the needs of contemporary businesses
cannot be achieved by another endorsed qualification or skill set.
In particular, industry identified the need to rationalise the number of qualifications to better
reflect the growing requirement for multi-skilled workers in this industry and equip learners
with the skills for a greater number of job roles within the industry to strengthen employability.
As a consequence qualifications were merged as follows:


Certificate II in Community Activities merged with the Certificate II in Sport and
Recreation
Certificate IV in Community Recreation merged with the Certificate IV in Sport and
Recreation.
Whilst initial scoping suggested the deletion of the Certificate I in Sport and Recreation,
subsequent consultation with industry, such as the YMCA and the Western Australia School
Curriculum and Standards Authority, clearly indicated the need for the qualification to afford
the opportunity for students and disengaged youth to supplement preparatory activities for
higher-level VET and to reinforce transferable, generic skills in a context that is of interest to
them.
Qualification structures and packaging rules have been updated to better reflect industry
needs in the sport and community recreation working environments, and enable the selection
of a wide range of electives to meet the diverse needs of businesses, small and large; urban
and regional. This involved both the removal of the previous restrictive packaging rules
regarding inclusion of imported units and also an increase in the number of electives that may
be imported into qualifications.
Additionally, the removal of specialisations from the Diploma of Sport and Recreation
Management, and the packaging of business, management and marketing skills required to
meet skills gaps in facility management, provide the flexibility to accommodate the diversity of
needs across the sector.
Responds to government broad policy initiatives
The SIS Sport, Fitness and Recreation Training Package V2.0 qualifications have been
developed in accordance with the Training Package Development and Endorsement Process
Policy, Training Package Products Policy and Standards for Training Packages (2012). In
Page 10 of 61
SPORT, FITNESS AND RECREATION TRAINING PACKAGE
2015 CASE FOR ENDORSEMENT
particular, national policy to ensure flexibility and reduction in duplication is reflected in the
revised qualifications and through the packaging of imported units of competency where
appropriate.
Recognises the convergence and connectivity of skills
To acknowledge and support transferability of cross-industry skills, the SIS Sport, Fitness and
Recreation Training Package qualifications contain imported units of competency from other
endorsed training packages, and include flexible packaging rules that allow imported units to
be selected from other training packages and accredited courses. The selection of electives
must be guided by the job outcome sought, local industry requirements and the complexity of
skills appropriate to the AQF level of the qualification.
Furthermore, the connectivity of skills and careers in the roles within sport and recreation and
community recreation have been acknowledged, resulting in four qualifications being merged
into two at the AQF Certificate II and IV levels. These proposed merged qualifications reflect
the increasing requirement for multi-skilled workers in this sector as well as the connectivity
between sport and recreation and community recreation.
Additionally, the qualifications in this training package include skills that are transferrable
across a great number of sectors, such as communication, customer service, technology, risk
management, and small business skills.
Supports movement of skills within and across organisations and
sectors
Clear and consistent packaging rules for qualifications
To ensure qualifications have the flexibility to meet a number of job outcomes, the packaging
rules of all qualifications have been reviewed to ensure they are consistently confined to skills
that are transferrable across all work contexts. This maximises the flexibility in qualifications
by enabling individuals to select a greater number of units of competency as electives and
enhances their prospects of moving across organisations and sectors. In particular, the
merging of the Certificate II in Community Activities and Certificate II in Sport and Recreation,
as well as the Certificate IV in Community Recreation and the Certificate IV in Sport and
Recreation, has resulted in the development of qualifications that support a greater range of
job outcomes and reflects the increasingly multi-skilled working environment, enabling
individuals to work across a greater range of organisations and sectors.
Packaging rules have also been simplified across all qualifications and with the removal of
specialisations within the Diploma of Sport and Recreation Management.
Clear pathways advice provided through qualification pathways diagrams
The SIS Sport, Fitness and Recreation Training Package V2.0 provides clear advice about
common career pathways within each industry sector. The qualification pathway diagrams in
the revised SIS Companion Volume Implementation Guide illustrate the flexibility of
qualifications to meet a range of job outcomes and the pathways that exist between
qualifications.
Industry identified movement within and across sectors
The sport and recreation and community recreation sectors have identified the need for a
multi-skilled workforce. The merging of qualifications, along with the introduction of more
flexible packaging rules in the new qualifications, have broadened the skills of graduates to
Page 11 of 61
SPORT, FITNESS AND RECREATION TRAINING PACKAGE
2015 CASE FOR ENDORSEMENT
work across job functions, enhancing their employability and ability to develop a career across
different organisations and sectors.
Promotes national and international portability
This training package is based on national consultation to ensure relevance across states and
territories, and both metropolitan and regional areas.
The proposed qualifications are aligned to the levels criteria and type specifications set out in
the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) Second Edition, January 2013.
Reflects licensing and regulatory requirements
There are no specific licensing or regulatory requirements that apply to the proposed
components of this training package submission.
Page 12 of 61
SPORT, FITNESS AND RECREATION TRAINING PACKAGE
2015 CASE FOR ENDORSEMENT
Section 2: Flexibility and functionality quality
principles
The SIS Sport, Fitness and Recreation Training Package V2.0 meets the quality principles of
flexibility and functionality, as summarised in the following section.
Meets the diversity of individual and enterprise needs
The proposed qualifications are flexible and can be used to meet industry needs across the
spectrum of large and small business. National consultation encompassed a broad range of
stakeholder types, including representatives from different sectors, business sizes and
locations to ensure that the proposed training package components are relevant to a variety
of contexts. For example, the Certificate III in Sport and Recreation is as applicable to staff in
large multiple service centres with a relatively large number of staff and large number of
clientele, or in a regional, community-focused service where there is a small number of staff
with a smaller clientele.
Flexibility is maximised by using a core and elective model while still maintaining the integrity
of the qualification. The core units of competency within the qualification structures are
essential to every work context, while selected elective units of competency have been
incorporated to meet the needs of both individuals and enterprises within and across sectors.
The elective choices in qualifications have increased, enabling greater flexibility and the ability
to tailor qualifications to the diverse needs of individuals and enterprises. The inclusion of
transferrable skills, such as communication, customer service, technology, risk management,
and small business skills, ensures that skills obtained from the proposed qualifications can be
applied in a variety of contexts. This has been strengthened further by removing SIS units of
competency in instances where it was appropriate to import units from other training
packages, such as the BSB Business Services and CHC Community Services Training
Package.
The retention of the Certificate I in Sport and Recreation, despite earlier plans to remove it,
was driven by clearly articulated feedback around the need to provide secondary school
students and disengaged youth with a pathway that provides lifelong learning skills e.g.
communication and teamwork as well as playing sport to improve fitness levels.
Supports equitable access and progression of learners
The SIS Sport, Fitness and Recreation Training Package V2.0 supports the equitable access
and progression of learners.
All qualifications allow for direct entry and facilitate pathways into other qualifications within
and outside this training package. The training package allows career entry points at every
AQF level except Certificate I which serves as a preparatory qualification. The qualifications
from Certificate II to Diploma accommodates individuals with varying backgrounds and
experience to achieve higher-level qualifications within the sector.
The qualifications support and facilitate progression for individuals through reflecting the
career paths that exist in this sector. As learners progress to higher-level qualifications, there
is an increase in the scope of knowledge, decision-making, problem-solving and autonomy of
judgement with a decrease in supervision and routine tasks.
Page 13 of 61
SPORT, FITNESS AND RECREATION TRAINING PACKAGE
2015 CASE FOR ENDORSEMENT
As indicated in the Equity Report (see Appendix B: Quality Reports), there are no
discriminatory barriers in the SIS Sport, Fitness and Recreation Training Package V2.0 that
could impede entry to training and employment or career progression within the industry.
Supports learner transition between education sectors
The SIS Sport, Fitness and Recreation Training Package V2.0 supports transition between all
education sectors – secondary school, VET and higher education. Advice about pathways
has been provided in the updated SIS Companion Volume Implementation Guide V2.0, in
accordance with the AQF Pathways Policy and the Standards for Training Packages.
The proposed SIS10115 Certificate I in Sport and Recreation, SIS20115 Certificate II in Sport
and Recreation and SIS30115 Certificate III in Sport and Recreation have been identified as
suitable for delivery to prepare secondary students for work. The increased number of
electives and flexible packaging ensure that the qualifications are able to cater to both
secondary students and mature-age learners.
Packaging rules for qualifications are clear and consistent and allow a logical progression of
skills development between AQF levels. There are a range of credit transfer and recognition
arrangements in place between RTOs and higher education institutions. These arrangements
usually provide credit for specific subjects at the Bachelor Degree level for units completed in
VET at the Diploma level.
Ongoing discussions with the higher education sector following endorsement will further
support ongoing and new credit arrangements to ensure further learning and career
progression opportunities for individuals in the sport, fitness and recreation industry.
Supports implementation across a range of settings
Advice has been provided in the updated SIS Companion Volume Implementation Guide V2.0
as to how the training package components can be implemented flexibly across a range of
settings.
There are no barriers to the implementation of the qualifications. The qualification packaging
maximises use of units of competency imported from other training packages or accredited
courses. This flexibility allows RTOs to include a range of units of competency to develop the
skills participants require in workplaces and to support progression into higher level
qualifications. This enables organisations with particular areas of operation and specialist job
roles to import units of competency relevant to that context.
Supports sound assessment practice
This submission does not contain any proposed new units of competency as all SIS units
packaged in these qualifications were previously endorsed in submission 1 of the training
package. Therefore this submission does not include associated assessment requirement
components. However, the current endorsed assessment requirements support sound
assessment practice having been developed on the basis of the following principles:



required performance and knowledge evidence is valid, reliable, and assessable, and
enables flexibility of application in a wide range of context, including the rigorous
conduct of assessment in simulated environments
define the appropriate context including assessor requirements and specific resource
requirements
specify that assessment must be undertaken by suitably qualified assessors.
Page 14 of 61
SPORT, FITNESS AND RECREATION TRAINING PACKAGE
2015 CASE FOR ENDORSEMENT
Supports implementation through compliance with National Register
requirements
The training components have been loaded on the National Register through the Training
Package Content Management System (TPCMS). Prior to the validation stage, both the prepublished content and metadata were checked as part of the Service Skills Australia internal
quality assurance process. After feedback from validation was incorporated, the components
were updated in TPCMS and both a pre-published content and metadata report were
completed and reviewed.
An independent review of the proposed SIS Sport, Fitness and Recreation Training Package
V2.0 submitted for endorsement was undertaken by Tina Berghella, Oggi Consulting. The
Quality Report (Appendix B) confirms that the proposed training package components meet
the requirements of the Standards for Training Packages (2012). Prior to the completion of
the Quality Report, all qualifications were reviewed against the Standards for Training
Packages. The Editorial Report was completed by Joy Harris, the Equity Report was
completed by Caitlin Harris, Stylus Group both members of the Quality Panel.
Page 15 of 61
SPORT, FITNESS AND RECREATION TRAINING PACKAGE
2015 CASE FOR ENDORSEMENT
Section 3: Impact of changes
Implications
The proposed components of the SIS Sport, Fitness and Recreation Training Package V2.0
will replace and supersede the corresponding components of the current SIS10 Sport, Fitness
and Recreation Training Package.
All components have been developed to comply with the Standards for Training Packages
and Training Package Products Policy using the required templates and in accordance with
the structured authoring rules for the national register, training.gov.au.
RTOs considering delivering the SIS Sport, Fitness and Recreation V2.0 will be required to
have the mandatory resources to support the delivery and assessment of the training
package. The resources, which are detailed in the conditions of assessment section within the
assessment requirements of the units of competency packaged in each qualification, include
access to the required assessment environments and resources, including assessors with the
relevant competencies and industry experience.
New format of the training package
The most significant change for RTOs and industry will be gaining familiarity with the format of
the components of the training package and the location of supporting information for
implementation in the updated SIS Companion Volume Implementation Guide V2.0.
Based on the consultation for this review, Service Skills Australia has determined the set of
issues to be addressed in both the mandatory Companion Volume Implementation Guide and
other potential support resources and activities.
To facilitate a smooth implementation process, state training authorities, RTOs, ASQA and
industry stakeholders have not only been consulted during the development process, but also
kept fully informed of the changes. Implementing the SIS Sport, Fitness and Recreation
Training Package V2.0 should not result in significant impacts to RTOs delivering the existing
SIS10 Sport, Fitness and Recreation Training Package qualifications.
Equivalence
The components of the SIS10 Sport, Fitness and Recreation Training Package V2.0 have
been rationalised to better reflect contemporary work, remove unnecessary duplication as
well as meet the underpinning intent of current policy and the Standards for Training
Packages. Of the five qualifications submitted for endorsement, two proposed qualifications,
the Certificate II in Sport and Recreation and the Certificate IV in Sport and Recreation have
been deemed not equivalent. The mapping document in Appendix A: Components for
Endorsement provides a brief outline of the nature of the changes made to the qualifications.
RTOs wishing to deliver and assess the new qualifications will need to apply to ASQA to
update their scope of registration, as automatic update of scope will not apply.
A detailed mapping of SIS10 V3.0 to SIS components, advice on assessment, foundation
skills, and other important implementation information is provided in the updated SIS
Companion Volume Implementation Guide V2.0 (available on the Service Skills Australia
website upon endorsement).
Page 16 of 61
SPORT, FITNESS AND RECREATION TRAINING PACKAGE
2015 CASE FOR ENDORSEMENT
Industry imperatives and expectations
The expectation from industry is that graduates will be equipped to operate in this new and
evolving landscape. Industry has an expectation of quality delivery and assessment. It
expects engagement, and in most cases it expects to be directly involved in training and
assessment of the components through work placements and through on-the-job
assessment. Industry expects that assessment is either conducted in the workplace or in a
simulated industry environment, with access to the appropriate equipment, and with industry
realistic clients.
Quality delivery and assessment practices that meet industry expectations are imperative if
industry, employers and learners are to value the qualifications contained within the SIS
Sport, Fitness and Recreation Training Package V2.0. The expectation from industry is that
graduates should have the skills and knowledge to work effectively in the industry after
completion of a qualification.
Systemic issues
To ensure the effective implementation of the new and updated qualifications, the following
measures will need to be put in place:

strong and ongoing relationship(s) with industry/businesses and their involvement in the
validation of learning and assessment materials/activities

robust and reliable assessment by RTOs, especially in relation to prior recognition
practices

ongoing negotiations with higher education authorities to ensure RTOs and relevant
institutions are able to enact suitable mutual recognition and credit transfer for
participants.

1.1 Open and inclusive
consultation and validation
commensurate with scope
and impact is conducted
Yes
The SIS Sport, Fitness and Recreation Training Package Version 2
represents the review and update of the sport and recreation
qualifications from SIS10 to reflect industry needs and the next
stage of the transition of SIS10 to the Standards for Training
Packages.
The components for endorsement comprise 5 qualifications from
AQF levels 1 to 5. The work included confirming the Certificate I
qualification, streamlining the Certificate II and IV qualifications,
restructuring the Diploma and improving packaging flexibility.
The project was overseen by the Sport, Fitness and Recreation
Industry Advisory Committee and supported by key industry
stakeholders. Membership of the committee and a list of key
stakeholders are provided in the Case for Endorsement.
The consultation and validation processes described in the Case for
Endorsement reflect the scope and impact of the changes. This is
supported by the Equity Report.
Stakeholders consulted included employers, peak bodies,
government, trade unions and registered training organisations.
Equity groups were represented by peak bodies engaged with
under-represented groups. As identified in the Equity Report, the
decision to retain the Certificate I qualification was the direct result
of consultation with stakeholders who work with disadvantaged
young people.

evidence of industry needs
Yes
The changes are both industry driven and policy driven.
The components respond to a policy driven need to transition to
the Standards for Training Packages.
The components also respond to industry driven needs including
changing industry practices and community expectations. For
example, increasing community recognition of the benefits of sport
and recreation to physical health, mental wellbeing and social
inclusion is driving increased communication skills demands
associated with engaging disadvantaged and diverse groups.
Plans for the transition to the Standards for Training Packages and
restructuring qualifications are identified in the developer’s publicly
available 2014 – 2015 Continuous Improvement Plan and supported
by their 2015 Environmental Scan.
Letters of support demonstrate strong industry support for the
proposed components.
There were no reports by exception.

Convergence and connectivity is also reflected in the new
Certificate II and IV qualifications, each the result of merging two
SIS10 qualifications, one from sport and recreation and the other
from community recreation.
Duplication has been reduced and connectivity increased by
replacing SIS10 units with imported units where appropriate.
The developer has committed to reviewing imported unit currency
at the time of endorsement.

Yes
A list of stakeholder representatives consulted as part of the
validation process is provided in the Case for Endorsement. It is
evidence that SIS meets a diversity of individual and enterprise
needs across Australia.
FLEXIBILITY
… to meet
individual
enterprise and
learner needs
The qualifications offer flexibility in the number and choice of
electives to meet individual and enterprise needs in a variety of
contexts including different sectors, business sizes and business
locations.
Flexibility has been increased. For example, through the removal of
specialty groups in the Diploma of Sport and Recreation
Management.
9.

Yes
Entry and exit points summarised in a qualifications pathways chart

Qualification pathways include multiple and simplified entry and
exit points. This is confirmed in the Equity Report where it identifies
the merging of the Certificate II qualifications ‘to support a greater
range of job outcomes and enabling individuals to work across a
greater range of organisations and sectors.’

Information about pathways is provided in a pathways chart in the

The Certificate I qualification is a preparatory qualification designed
to support the development of lifelong learning skills. This is the
only qualification that does not result in a career entry point
outcome.
The Certificate I, II and III are identified in the implementation guide
as suitable for preparing secondary students for work. They are also
structured to be suitable for mature-aged learners.
There are no national arrangements. The Case for Endorsement
states that there are credit arrangements in place between VET and
higher education. However these are not national and therefore do
not need to appear in the credit arrangements template.
When asked why a credit arrangements template was not included
in this submission, the developer replied that there were no
additional credit arrangements. Their approach to the credit
arrangements template is to identify the qualification codes and
titles for only those qualifications where national credit
arrangements exist. As no credit arrangements exist, the endorsed
credit arrangements template for SIS V1 remains current.

SECTION 2 – EQUITY CHECKLIST OF DRAFT TRAINING PACKAGE COMPONENTS
EQUITY REQUIREMENTS
Do the draft endorsed components comply
with the NSSC Access and Equity Policy?
(see Training Package Standard 2)
EQUITY REVIEWER COMMENTS
Provide brief commentary on the whether the draft
endorsed components meet each of the Equity
Requirements
Relevant Training Package Quality Principles
Quality Principle 1 Ensures RESPONSIVENESS to the needs of contemporary industry and its workforce
Relevant key feature: Reflect contemporary work organisation and job profiles incorporating a futures orientation
Example of evidence: Open and inclusive consultation and validation commensurate with scope and impact is conducted
1.
Is there evidence that the consultation and
validation processes included underrepresented groups and that consideration
has been given to their advice on how
diverse learning and skill development needs
can be addressed?
For example, through lead agencies,
individuals and groups in workplaces.
2.
Are there other examples of evidence that
demonstrate the equity aspects of Training
Package Quality Principle 1?
The developer provided good evidence of an extensive
and inclusive consultation and validation process,
including with organisations representing stakeholders
from under-represented groups. Evidence was provided
showing that consideration was given to feedback from
stakeholders specific to the needs of under-represented
groups and was reflected in the draft endorsed
components. One example is the decision to retain the
Certificate I in Sport and Recreation based on advice
given by stakeholders with an interest in the needs of
younger, disadvantaged clients.
The breadth and quality of responses from industry and
peak bodies representing equity stakeholders indicates
that the quality principle of “responsiveness” has been
met. Evidence of this provided includes feedback
collected during the consultation and validation process,
letters of support, and a summary of the equity interests
of stakeholders heavily involved in the review process.

EQUITY REVIEWER COMMENTS
Quality Principle 3 Provides FLEXIBILITY to meet individual, enterprise and learner needs.
Key features:
- Meet the diversity of individual and enterprise needs
- Support equitable access and progression of learners
- Support learner transition between education sectors
3.
What evidence demonstrates that the draft The draft Case for Endorsement (CfE) provides evidence
components provide flexible qualifications
of how qualifications have been reviewed to ensure
that enable application in different contexts? flexibility and transferability across all work contexts. One
example is the merging of the Certificate II in Community
Activities and Certificate II in Sport and Recreation to
support a greater range of job outcomes and enabling
individuals to work across a greater range of
organisations and sectors.
4.
Is there evidence of multiple entry and exit
points?
The CfE and qualification pathway diagrams in the
revised SIS Companion Volume Implementation Guide
provide evidence of the flexibility of qualifications to
meet a range of job outcomes. All qualifications allow
for direct entry, as well as career entry points at every
AQF level except Certificate I which serves as a
preparatory qualification.
5.
Have pre requisite units of competency
been minimised?
None of the proposed SIS qualifications have entry
requirements.
ISC COMMENTS
EQUITY REQUIREMENTS
EQUITY REVIEWER COMMENTS
6.
What evidence demonstrates pathways
from entry and preparatory level as
appropriate to facilitate movement
between schools and VET, from entry level
into work, and between VET and higher
education qualifications?
The CfE and qualification pathway diagrams in the
revised Companion Volume Implementation Guide
indicate that the training package facilitates pathways
into other qualifications, both within and outside the SIS
training package. Evidence was provided indicating that
stakeholders were asked specifically to consider
pathways to universities and the appropriateness of
qualifications for VET in schools. The CfE shows that the
proposed SIS10115 Certificate I in Sport and Recreation
and SIS20115 Certificate II in Sport and Recreation were
developed to be suitable for delivery in schools, to
prepare younger people for work and provide pathways
into higher AQF levels.
7.
Are there other examples of evidence that
demonstrate how the key features of the
Flexibility principle are being achieved?
Restrictive packaging rules were removed to improve
flexibility and better meet individual, enterprise and
learner needs.
ISC COMMENTS
Quality Principle 4 Ensures FUNCTIONALITY through ease of understanding, clever design and consistency with policy and publication requirements
Relevant key features:
- Support implementation across a range of settings
Support sound assessment practice
8.

EQUITY REQUIREMENTS
EQUITY REVIEWER COMMENTS
9.
What evidence demonstrates that the units
of competency and their associated
assessment requirements are clearly written
and have consistent breadth and depth so
that they support implementation across a
range of settings?
The submission does not contain any proposed new units
of competency and therefore does not specify
assessment requirements.
10.
Are there other examples of evidence that
demonstrate how the key features of the
Functionality principle are being achieved?
The developer provided evidence in the form letters of
support from industry and records of feedback from
stakeholders indicating that the revised qualifications
support implementation across a range of settings.
Additionally, the SIS Companion Volume Implementation
Guide provides advice about how to implement the
training package components across a range of settings.

2014 is the most recent data available. Source: National VET Provider Collection 2014, Students and Courses. The
stated proportion is the share of VET students that have ‘apprentice/trainee status’, which are apprentices and
trainees enrolled in the public VET system for off-the-job training. This data does not have direct concordance with
the number of apprentices and trainees detailed in the separate National Apprentice and Trainee Collection, which is
based on data submitted by State Training Authorities relating to an apprentice or trainee contract and generally
records a higher number of apprentices and trainees as some apprentices and trainees may not have been enrolled
with a training provider. As the Students and Courses data is based on data submitted by training providers it is
therefore is a more appropriate data set to determine the share of students that have an apprentice or trainee status.
