IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Syllabus review
Once a course syllabus has been accredited by the School Curriculum and Standards Authority, the implementation of that syllabus
will be monitored by the VET industry specific Course Advisory Committee. This group can advise the Board of the Authority about
any need for syllabus review. The review of an industry specific course will be dependent on any review of the training package/s
used as a framework for the course. Details of the training package/s used in this course are correct at the time of publication.
Syllabus change deemed to be minor requires schools to be notified of the change at least six months before implementation. Major
syllabus change requires schools to be notified 18 months before implementation. Formal processes of syllabus review and

Automotive (VET Industry Specific): Accredited September 2008 (updated August 2013)
Rationale
The VET industry specific Automotive course
provides students with the opportunity to achieve
national vocational qualifications under the
Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) and to
gain School Curriculum and Standards Authority
(Authority) developed course unit credit towards the
Western Australian Certificate of Education
(WACE).
The course is based on nationally endorsed training
packages. It specifies the range of industry
developed units of competency from the relevant
training packages that is suitable for the WACE. To
meet the course requirements and achieve course
units towards a WACE, students must follow the
course structure, attain required units of
competency
and
fulfil
work
placement
requirements.
The VET industry specific Automotive course
provides programs for the completion of Certificate I
and II qualifications. It offers opportunities for
students to access short-term and long-term
employment opportunities. Students develop
relevant technical, vocational and interpersonal
competencies suitable for employment and further
training in the automotive industry, as well as skills,
knowledge and experiences that are transferable to
other industry areas.
This course encourages students to engage with
senior secondary education, fosters a positive
transition from school to work and provides a
structure within which students can prepare for
further education, training and employment.
Course delivery
VET industry specific courses have the status of an
Authority developed course and enable students to
achieve dual accreditation for nationally endorsed
training package qualification and meet Authority
developed unit completion requirements for the
WACE.
This course must be read in conjunction with the
AUR12 Automotive Industry Retail, Service and
Repair Training Package. Refer to the National
Training Information Service website for the latest
version www.training.gov.au
When considering VET delivery, schools are
advised to:
 refer to the WACE Manual: Section 5:
Vocational Education and Training
 contact
their
education
sector/systems
representative for information on operational
issues concerning VET delivery options in
schools.
VET can be delivered by schools providing they
meet Australian Quality Training Framework
(AQTF) requirements. Schools need to become a
registered training organisation (RTO) or work in
partnership with an RTO to deliver training within
the scope for which they are registered.
It is the responsibility of the RTO to determine that
requirements are met when delivering and
assessing VET in schools. This includes ensuring
that teachers and trainers have the required
qualifications to deliver industry specific VET
courses.
Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF)
and the VET Quality Framework
In Australia, vocational education and training,
including the work of RTOs, is regulated by two sets
of national standards:
1. The Australian Quality Training Framework
(AQTF)
2. The legislative instruments established under
the National VET Regulator (NVR) Act 2011.
AQTF is the quality system that underpins the
national vocational education and training sector
and outlines the regulatory arrangements in
Western Australian and Victorian RTOs that:
 enrol only domestic learners, and
 enrol learners in Western Australia only (or in
Victoria and Western Australia only).
It provides the basis for a nationally consistent high
quality VET system.
The AQTF Conditions and Standards for registered
training organisations outline a set of auditable
standards that must be met and maintained for
registration as a training provider in Australia.
Detailed information on AQTF standards is
available at www.nssc.natese.gov.au/vet_standards
For RTO’s under the National VET regulator ASQA,
the VET Quality Framework is aimed at achieving
greater national consistency in the way providers
are registered and monitored and in how standards
in the vocational education and training (VET)
sector are enforced.
RTO/school staff and students must comply with
the requirements of current occupational safety and
health legislation and regulations required by
legislation.
Workplace learning
Workplace learning is essential for this course as it
enables the students to:
 collect evidence towards achievement of units
of competency
 develop positive attitudes towards work
 practice skills acquired in school classroom or
workshop
Automotive (VET Industry Specific): Accredited September 2008 (updated August 2013)
3


develop additional employability skills and
knowledge
engage with industry.
Additional workplace learning time may be required
for each of the qualifications in this course. The
number of additional workplace learning units or
equivalents required is stated for each qualification.
The workplace learning component can be
completed as units from the Workplace Learning
course, as an endorsed program or as the student’s
outside employment. The work placement should
be industry-related and occur while the course units
are being undertaken.
Non-completion of any required workplace units or
equivalents may result in a ‘requirements not met’
(RNM) status for the course units.
Course content
Units of competency
All units of competency for qualifications in the VET
industry specific Automotive course programs come
from the AUR12 Automotive Industry Retail, Service
and Repair Training Package. A summary of the
employability is provided within each qualification.
Units of competency consist of:
 elements of competency
 performance criteria
 range statement
 evidence guide which includes:
 specific knowledge required to achieve the
performance criteria
 relationship to other units
 specific resource requirements
 context of assessment
 critical aspects of evidence required to
demonstrate competency
 methods of assessment.
Trainers need to refer to the training package for
further details of the elements, performance criteria,
underpinning knowledge and skills, range of
variables and evidence requirements for specific
units of competency.
Teachers and trainers should check the RTO’s
scope of registration before determining which
optional units of competency are to be included in
delivery and assessment programs. This can be
determined during initial discussions when
considering an auspicing arrangement between the
school and RTO.

Time and completion
requirements
Vocational Education Training (VET) is nationally
recognised training that provides practical work
skills and credit towards, or attainment of, a
vocational education qualification.
VET industry specific course programs can be
delivered over one year or two years, with class
contact time a notional 55 hours for each course
unit.
The number of course units and workplace course
units or unit equivalents to be completed varies
according to the qualification offered. Students must
complete all components of the course before
course unit credits can be certified on the student’s
WACE statement of results. Partial completion of an
AQF qualification can only be awarded unit
equivalence as VET credit transfer.
Assessment
The Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF)
requires that a competency-based approach to
assessment is used and that a record is held by the
registered training organisation (RTO) of the
competencies achieved by each student. The
assessment must be conducted by a qualified
assessor under the auspices of an RTO which may
be a school or a state or private training provider.
All assessment requirements need to be met
concurrently to demonstrate the achievement of an
element of competency. All elements of
competency must be achieved to demonstrate the
achievement of a unit of competency.
A student is judged as either competent or not yet
competent. The judgement is made on the basis of
evidence which can be in a variety of forms.
Students who are assessed as competent on all
required competencies for the VET industry specific
Stage 1 and Stage 2 course units are credited with
a C grade. This is recorded with other Authority
developed course results.
All successfully completed units of competency
/qualification are recorded on the student’s WACE
statement of results.
