SIS Superseded Units

Endorsement and Implementation

On Tuesday 25 March, a minor update to the SIS Sport, Fitness and Recreation Training Package was published on Australia's National Training Register.

The update replaced superseded units of competency with current, equivalent units in the elective bank of qualifications (excluding specialisation) and skill sets. The units form part of 13 qualifications and 9 skill sets.

Additionally, 4 high-risk, non-equivalent units of competency were replaced across 8 qualifications and 6 skill sets, following targeted industry consultation.

A new child safety unit of competency was also added to the elective group of 3 qualifications.

These updates ensure qualifications and skill sets are current, aligned to industry needs and provide learners and employers with up-to-date training options.

Affected qualifications have retained their title and code but have received a new release number.

Skill sets containing non-equivalent units have been superseded and assigned new codes. Skill sets containing only equivalent units have retained their existing codes, with an updated release number.

The Companion Volume Implementation Guide has also been updated to reflect these changes.

Registered training organisations (RTOs) will have 12 months to transition to the newly released qualifications or the new skill sets. During this transition period, they can continue to deliver the superseded products.

Development

During the development phase, we replaced superseded units of competency with current, equivalent units in the elective bank of qualifications (excluding specialisation) and skill sets.

Through targeted industry consultation, we identified the need to:

• update 4 high-risk superseded, non-equivalent units of competency part of 8 qualifications and 6 skill sets
• add a child safety unit of competency to 3 qualifications.

These changes occur when aligned with a minor update according to the Training Package Products Development and Endorsement Process Policy.

This qualification mapping document outlines the units of competency that were replaced.

Set Up

We have undertaken an in-depth analysis of superseded units of competency and replaced units with the usage recommendation of 'superseded' or 'equivalent'.

Updates were made to 13 qualifications and 9 skill sets. The affected qualifications and skill sets retained their title and code and received a new release number. Non-equivalent skill sets were superseded, given new codes and retained their current titles.

We have created a summary of frequently asked questions.
