In Vocational Education and Training, there is a constant requirement for training to be adapted to meet the needs of industry. Whether needs change because of the operating environment, improvements in capability through technology augmentation or identified learning shortfalls identified in the current qualification, these needs are resolved through amendments to qualifications to improve learning outcome for learners and industry.
During the implementation of amendments, qualifications will undergo a phase of transition. In this phase, learners can commence training before amendments have been introduced and complete the qualification after the amendments have been included. Transition has a defined completion date that all learners aspiring to obtain the qualification need to have completed training and assessment by. After the transition period all persons in training need to complete the amended qualification to be deemed qualified.
Transition periods are important because they enable Industry and Training Providers to maintain capability whilst changes occur.
