Government Skills Australia's Training Package feedback register enables users to view and comment on the Training Packages under GSA's mandate. To use the register GSA requires you to 'log on' on the left of this page. If you have previously registered to use the GSA website, simply enter your username and password. If you have no account yet or have lost your password, please click on the relevant orange links to the left. The register enables you to view and comment on endorsed Training Packages and draft units, qualifications and skills sets. Any feedback you supply will be published on the website and GSA will respond to your comment via the e-mail address you supply on registration.  

About Training Packages and the relevance of feedback

Training Packages work on a simple yet fundamentally different premise to accredited courses. Despite the name, they do not prescribe how an individual should be trained. Rather, they specify the skills and knowledge an experienced person needs to perform effectively in the workplace - simply put, they prescribe the ‘outcome’ or competency.

All Training Packages are reviewed and updated on a regular basis through a system of national committees representing the interests of industry, peak bodies, unions, registered training organisations and governments.

The need to update Training Packages will be determined mainly through feedback from users. Your feedback through the feedback register will be added to a register for each Training Package. Once all feedback is received the council will:

• Identify the changes that need to be made to the Training Package, including the level of complexity of proposed changes and the level of supporting documentation that is required
• Consult with relevant organisations, enterprises and groups, such as its registered training organisation reference group and the relevant industry standing committee to ensure that proposed changes are appropriate
• Prepare a revision to the Training Package and the supporting documentation
• Submit the revised Training Package for endorsement by the National Quality Council
• Update the website to let all stakeholders know that a new version of the package is available.

Please use the Training Package feedback register to provide your comments. Some suggestions to the kind of feedback GSA hopes to receive include; correction of typos, errors, addition of employability skills, updating imported units to the latest versions, updating the content of units, adding more imported units and adding new units or removing units (not requiring extensive development work).

We invite and welcome your valued contributions to this very important aspect of maintaining and modifying our national Training Packages. For inquiries, please contact Alice Rockingham-Gill - GSA Communications Officer
