Introduction
This document details a TAFE SA state-wide approved approach for SA secondary schools wishing to deliver and
assess units of competency or the qualification from the following Training Packages:
•
•
•
•
AUR12 – Automotive Industry Retail, Service and Repair Training Package
MEM05 – Metal and Engineering Training Package
UEE11 – Electrotechnology Training Package
RII – Resources and Infrastructure Industry Training Package
TAFE SA is only offering the units and/or qualification(s) listed in this document to schools under a VET in Schools
Arrangement (VISA).
TAFE SA as the Registered Training Organisation (RTO) requires that you use the enclosed information as a checklist
to ensure all physical and human resources are in place prior to delivery.
Teachers and VET Co-ordinators will need to have a thorough understanding of the requirements as presented in this
booklet.
For further information regarding the obligations of the School and TAFE SA involved in the auspice arrangement,
please refer to the overarching Memorandum of Administrative Arrangement (MAA) held with your school for VET
in Schools delivery.
TAFE SA is required to report all Auspice arrangements to ASQA.
How to go about setting up a VET in Schools Agreement
The following list provides a guide to get started.
1. Read through this booklet and ascertain if you and your school are willing to enter an auspice agreement
2. If the answer to item 1 is YES, then refer to the Self-Assessment Checklist and start gathering the required
information that demonstrates that you have these requirements in place
3. With your Self-Assessment Checklist underway, contact the TAFE SA Program Specialist with the details of
the course and/or units you wish to deliver
4. Your TAFE SA Program Specialist will make a time for themselves or another suitable program specialist to go
through the requirements with you
a.
Copies of teacher/trainers qualifications etc for submission to your TAFE SA Program Specialist will be
required
b.
You may need to submit other documentation or resources as evidence of your readiness
5. On successful demonstration that you and your school are ready for VET in Schools delivery you will receive
a letter of confirmation from TAFE SA – you must wait for this confirmation before you can commence
marketing or delivery with students
At the beginning of the academic year, or on confirmation of the agreement, you will need to work with your
students to set up their profiles through myTAFESA (online system). See section on School Obligations.

Teacher / Trainer / Assessor requirements
This section describes the requirements of secondary school teachers to deliver from the specified Training
Packages. The engagement of suitable teachers/trainers is a necessity for any VET in Schools delivery.
Requirements for delivery:
TRAINERS MUST:
i. hold the TAE40110 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment as a minimum qualification inclusive of the unit
TAELLN411(Address Adult language, literacy and numeracy skills)
ii. be able to demonstrate vocational competencies at least to the level being delivered and assessed; and
iii. be able to demonstrate current industry skills directly relevant to the training and assessment being provided
and;
iv. be able to demonstrate their current knowledge and skills in vocational training and learning that informs their
training and assessment.
For more information on the national requirements please see
http://www.asqa.gov.au/users-guide-to-the-standards-for-registered-training-organisations-2015/users-guide-tothe-standards-for-registered-training-organisations-2015.html
TAFE SA has a range of options to assist teachers to obtain training and assessment qualification.
Contact your local campus or see the advert overleaf for further details.
Vocational competence required for each of the qualifications presented within this guide is listed under “Specific
Teacher/Trainer Requirements” for each qualification.
Mandatory 2016 Staff Development
TAFE SA is conducting a mandatory short PD session for VET Co-ordinators and VET Teachers. This session will cover
the administrative aspects of the VET in Schools Agreements and compliance requirements in readiness for VET
delivery in 2017.
This session will be held on: Thursday November 17th 2016, 2pm – 4pm (Online)
School Obligations
Schools are required to pay $250 per VISA schedule per qualification annually. TAFE SA will invoice the School on
approval of the VISA Schedule.
Schools must ensure that all students undertaking study under a VISA Schedule must be recognised as full-time
secondary school student.
The school will need to make a commitment to providing information in a timely manner that accommodates both
TAFE SA and Secondary School Sector reporting requirements. TAFE SA will make every attempt to provide the
school with as much notice as possible when requesting information, however this could be a minimum of 5 days in
extreme cases.

undertaking a Certificate II pre-vocational program or job outcome qualification, or will facilitate entry into an
Australian Apprenticeship.
Application
This qualification provides an introduction to the engineering/manufacturing industry, its culture, occupations, job
roles and workplace expectations. The units of competency cover essential work health and safety requirements, the
