  • Overview

    What is a Training Package?

    A Training Package is an integrated set of nationally endorsed competency standards, assessmentguidelines and Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) qualifications for a specific industry,industry sector or enterprise.

    Each Training Package:

    • provides a consistent and reliable set of components for training, recognising and assessingpeople's skills, and may also have optional support materials

    • enables nationally recognised qualifications to be awarded through direct assessment ofworkplace competencies

    • encourages the development and delivery of flexible training which suits individual and industryrequirements

    • encourages learning and assessment in a work-related environment which leads to verifiableworkplace outcomes.

    How do Training Packages fit within the National Training Framework?

    The National Training Framework is made up of the nationally agreed quality arrangements for thevocational education and training sector, the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF), andTraining Packages endorsed by the National Training Quality Council (NTQC).

    How are Training Packages developed?

    Training Packages are developed by Industry Skills Councils or enterprises to meet the identifiedtraining needs of specific industries or industry sectors. To gain national endorsement of TrainingPackages, developers must provide evidence of extensive research, consultation and support within theindustry area or enterprise.

    How do Training Packages encourage flexibility?

    Training Packages describe the skills and knowledge needed to perform effectively in the workplacewithout prescribing how people should be trained.

    Training Packages acknowledge that people can achieve vocational competency in many ways byemphasising what the learner can do, not how or where they learned to do it. For example, someexperienced workers might be able to demonstrate competency against the units of competency, andeven gain a qualification, without completing a formal training program.

    With Training Packages, assessment and training may be conducted at the workplace, off-the-job, at atraining organisation, during regular work, or through work experience, work placement, worksimulation or any combination of these.

    Who can deliver and assess using Training Packages?

    Training and assessment using Training Packages must be conducted by a Registered TrainingOrganisation (RTO) that has the qualifications or specific units of competency on its scope ofregistration, or that works in partnership with another RTO as specified in the AQTF Standards forRegistered Training Organisations.

    Training Package Components

    Training Packages are made up of mandatory components endorsed by the NTQC, and optional supportmaterials.

    CUS01 Music Training Package (Version 2) To be reviewed by: 31 January 2004Overview

    Volume 1 of 1 Page 16 of 840©Commonwealth of Australia, 2005 Date Acquired from NTIS: 22 June 2006

  • Training Package Endorsed ComponentsThe nationally endorsed components include the Competency Standards, Assessment Guidelines andQualifications Framework. These form the basis of training and assessment in the Training Packageand, as such, they must be used.

    Competency Standards

    Each unit of competency identifies a discrete workplace requirement and includes the knowledge andskills that underpin competency as well as language, literacy and numeracy; and occupational healthand safety requirements. The units of competency must be adhered to in training and assessment toensure consistency of outcomes.

    Assessment Guidelines

    The Assessment Guidelines provide an industry framework to ensure all assessments meet industryneeds and nationally agreed standards as expressed in the Training Package and the Standards forRegistered Training Organisations. The Assessment Guidelines must be followed to ensure theintegrity of assessment leading to nationally recognised qualifications.

    Qualifications Framework

    Each Training Package provides details of those units of competency that must be achieved to awardAQF qualifications. The rules around which units of competency can be combined to make up a validAQF qualification in the Training Package are referred to as the 'packaging rules'. The packaging rulesmust be followed to ensure the integrity of nationally recognised qualifications issued.

    Training Package Support Materials

    The endorsed components of Training Packages are complemented and supported by optional supportmaterials that provide for choice in the design of training and assessment to meet the needs of industryand learners.

    Training Package support materials can relate to single or multiple units of competency, an industrysector, a qualification or the whole Training Package. They tend to fall into one or more of thecategories illustrated below.

    Volume 1 of 1 Page 17 of 840©Commonwealth of Australia, 2005 Date Acquired from NTIS: 22 June 2006

  • Training Package support materials are produced by a range of stakeholders such as RTOs, individualtrainers and assessors, private and commercial developers and Government agencies.

    Where such materials have been quality assured through a process of 'noting' by the NTQC, theydisplay the following official logo. Noted support materials are listed on the National TrainingInformation Service (NTIS), together with a detailed description and information on the type of productand its availability (www.ntis.gov.au).

    It is not compulsory to submit support materials for noting; any resources that meet the requirements ofthe Training Package can be used.

    Training Package, Qualification and Unit of Competency Codes

    There are agreed conventions for the national codes used for Training Packages and their components.Always use the correct codes, exactly as they appear in the Training Package, and with the titlealways following the code.

    Training Package Codes

    Each Training Package has a unique five-character national code assigned when the Training Packageis endorsed, for example CUS01. The first three characters are letters identifying the Training Packageindustry coverage and the last two characters are numbers identifying the year of endorsement.

    Qualification Codes

    Within each Training Package, each qualification has a unique eight-character code, for exampleCUS10101. The first three letters identify the Training Package; the first number identifies thequalification level (noting that arabic numbers are not used in qualification titles themselves); the nexttwo numbers identify the position in the sequence of the qualification at that level; and the last twonumbers identify the year in which the qualification was endorsed. (Where qualifications are addedafter the initial Training Package endorsement, the last two numbers may differ from other TrainingPackage qualifications as they identify the year in which those particular qualifications were endorsed).

    Unit of Competency Codes

    Within each Training Package, each unit of competency has a unique code. The unit of competencycodes are assigned when the Training Package is endorsed, or when new units of competency are addedto an existing endorsed Training Package.

    CUS01 Music Training Package (Version 2) To be reviewed by: 31 January 2004Overview

    Volume 1 of 1 Page 18 of 840©Commonwealth of Australia, 2005 Date Acquired from NTIS: 22 June 2006

    http://www.ntis.gov.au

  • A typical code is made up of 12 characters, normally a mixture of uppercase letters and numbers, as inCUSADM01A. The first three characters signify the Training Package (CUS01 Music TrainingPackage in the above example) and up to eight characters, relating to an industry sector, function orskill area, follow. The last character is always a letter and identifies the unit of competency version.The 'A' in the example above indicates that this is the original unit of competency. An incrementedversion identifier usually means that minor changes have been made. Typically this would mean thatwording has changed in the range statement or evidence guide, providing clearer intent. Where changesare made that alter the outcome, a new code is assigned and the title is changed.

    Training Package, Qualification and Unit of Competency Titles

    There are agreed conventions for titling Training Packages and their components. Always use thecorrect titles, exactly as they appear in the Training Package, and with the code always placed beforethe title.

    Training Package Titles

    The title of each endorsed Training Package is unique and relates the Training Package's broad industrycoverage.

    Qualification Titles

    The title of each endorsed Training Package qualification is unique. Qualification titles use thefollowing sequence:

    • firstly, the qualification is identified as either Certificate I, Certificate II, Certificate III, CertificateIV, Diploma or Advanced Diploma

    • this is followed by the words 'in' for Certificates I to IV and 'of' for Diploma and AdvancedDiploma

    • then the industry descriptor follows, for example Telecommunications, and• if applicable, the occupational or functional stream follows in brackets, for example (Computer

    Systems).

    For example:

    • CUS10101 Certificate I in Music Industry (Foundation)• CUS20101 Certificate II in Music Industry (Foundation)

    Unit of Competency Titles

    Each unit of competency title is unique. Unit of competency titles describe the competency outcomeconcisely, and are written in sentence case.

    For example:

    • CUSADM01A Purchase or hire equipment/supplies• CUSADM02A Coordinate the purchase or hire of equipment/supplies

  • Introduction

    The Australian music industry

    The Australian music industry is a vital and energetic industry, which pervades the lives of mostAustralians. Chaotic, unregulated, creative, fragmented and diverse, the industry covers many differentgenres, with widescale participation across Australia - from small and isolated communities to majormetropolitan centres.

    Music is both an industry and an artform, meeting cultural and recreational needs while also offeringmajor employment opportunities across many sectors: recording, publishing, retail, music business,entertainment, radio, television, film, video, advertising, computer software, multimedia, teaching, and,of course, performance. 345,700 people are involved in music across Australia. Of these, 276,100 workas live performers and 96,450 musicians receive payment for their work.

    Work in the industry, particularly in performance, is primarily casual, contract, freelance andself-employed. Musicians must frequently generate their own work and juggle several jobssimultaneously.

    The Australian retail music market turns over more than $700 million per annum, with about 25% ofmusic retail volume being Australian product. It has significant export potential, both in dollar termsand in terms of advancing Australias image overseas. Contemporary music is the cultural form mostaccessible to Australians, with 28% of people, including 50% of 18-24 year olds, attending popularmusic performances. The sale, marketing and distribution of music products has changed with greateraccess to on-line purchasing, downloading music and conversion to digital format. To maximise salesin Australia and overseas, however, skills in areas such as marketing must be developed.

    The music industry is in a process of transformation. Artistic developments (such as cross-oversbetween genres) are influencing the industry's future, along with changes to technology, to consumerbuying patterns and to legislative frameworks.

    Like many sectors of the cultural industries, the Australian music industry has been profoundlyinfluenced by technological development in recent years, with the creation, performance andproduction of music all having altered, in some cases fundamentally. There have been changes to thenature of a recording 'studio' and its use; to live and studio recording and improved control of sound inpublic venues; and more opportunities for individuals to produce and release CDs at low cost.

    More changes are on the horizon as the introduction of new technologies accelerates. Music can, forexample, be composed using electronic technology, and composition software packages are becomingincreasingly diverse, inexpensive and sophisticated, enhancing the composition process and thecapacity for intelligent evaluation. New multimedia formats can be expected to influence the musicindustry, with increasingly diverse art forms emerging through collaborative projects in performance,installation and multimedia technology.

    These and other technological developments have major implications for education, training,employment and workplace practices. The need for industry-relevant training and industry-recognisedstandards has never been greater. In short, music education and training must prepare employees to takefull advantage of the artistic and employment potential offered by new technologies.

    As in other cultural sectors, performing rights and copyright provisions are assuming increasedimportance for artists and producers. Advances in technology allow easy access, through sampling andother processes, to the unauthorised use of the work of the originators and creators of music,disregarding or disguising performing rights obligations. Beginning and isolated artists who create andrecord music for sale through home studio production are often unaware of their performing andlicensing rights or, indeed, the rights of others in relation to performing or copyright. There is frequentunauthorised copying of performance, recorded and printed music, while music from diverse sourcesmay be used in multimedia projects without acknowledgment. Artists need a solid understanding of

    CUS01 Music Training Package (Version 2) To be reviewed by: 31 January 2004Introduction

    Volume 1 of 1 Page 20 of 840©Commonwealth of Australia, 2005 Date Acquired from NTIS: 22 June 2006

  • copyright provisions to ensure that their work is not exploited and their earning capacity is not reduced.

    Many people who work in the industry lack any formal recognition of their competencies. In 1991, forexample, over half the people working in the occupations of music director, private music tutor andpiano tuner stated that they had no formal qualifications.

    The national music industry training package seeks to address these challenges in several ways.

    • It defines career and training pathways and provides scope for entry to a range of employmentopportunities. Practitioners may enter training at the level that suits them.

    • It gives practitioners the opportunity to be assessed against national competency standards andreceive formal recognition of their skills and knowledge. It is now possible for practitioners to beawarded a national qualification without necessarily undertaking any additional training.

    • It provides opportunities for people to learn in many different ways and in many differentsituations: at work, on-line, in education institutions, through traineeships or other methods.

    • It includes a wide range of national competency standards across the areas of music practice,business and technology and it gives learners the opportunity to 'mix and match' competenciesaccording to their needs. Musicians can, for example, develop skills in small business ormarketing to supplement their performing skills.

    • It includes national competency standards in essential areas like copyright and occupationalhealth and safety.

    The music industry training package:

    • Has been developed by industry, for industry

    CREATE Australia, the national industry training advisory body for the cultural industries, developedthe package with extensive involvement of industry practitioners, enterprises, organisations andtraining organisations across Australia. Funding to develop the package was provided by the AustralianNational Training Authority (ANTA).

    • Permits many different ways of learning

    Learning occurs in many different ways, in many places and at many times - not simply throughdesignated learning " events". The music industry training package permits many different ways oftraining - in the workplace, in a training organisation, through work experience, workshops, flexiblelearning, or traineeships and apprenticeships.

    Training may involve a combination of several of these methods, and partnerships between trainingorganisations and industry. The method of learning will depend on what suits employers, learners andthe type of learning being undertaken.

    • Provides many pathways to competence and a national qualification

    People become competent in many different ways. Training packages recognise this by putting theemphasis on what learners can do and know, rather than on how they learned.

    The music industry training package offers individuals the opportunity to gain formal recognition fortheir skills and knowledge, regardless of where they acquired those skills - whether in educationinstitutions, through practical experience or through a combination of both. Individuals can be assesseddirectly against competency standards and receive part or all of a qualification without necessarilyundertaking any additional training.

    • Provides a national framework for training and assessment

    For the first time in Australia there are national vocational education and training qualifications for themusic industry. Thus, it is easier to transfer skills from one situation to another and the qualificationsawarded in one state or territory are recognised across Australia.

    Volume 1 of 1 Page 21 of 840©Commonwealth of Australia, 2005 Date Acquired from NTIS: 22 June 2006

  • • Gives workplaces and industry bodies more scope to be involved in establishing and providingtraining

    There are many ways in which workplaces and industry bodies may become involved in training. Theymay, for example, elect to register as training organisations or they may enter into partnerships withother training organisations.

    • Provides training and assessment opportunities for people entering the industry and those alreadyworking in it

    The package is sufficiently flexible to accommodate the learning needs of trainees, apprentices,students or experienced employees.

    Scope of the music industry training package

    The music industry training package sets out the competencies required for many different careersacross the industry including those in recording, live performance, computer software and multimedia,music publishing, advertising, music video, radio, film and television, music tuition, music therapy andmusic media. A detailed list of careers in the music industry is included in the appendix.

    Ongoing development and review

    The music industry training package was endorsed for three years, after which it must be reviewed toensure its relevance to changing industry circumstances.

    So that users of the package can be confident that they are using the most recent version of the package,this package includes:

    • a code (CUS01) with the last two numbers indicating the year of endorsement• codes for each competency standard, with the last character of each code representing the version

    of the standard (A= the first version, etc)• a code for each qualification, with the last two numbers representing the year in which the

    qualification was endorsed

  • Qualifications Framework

    The Australian Qualifications Framework

    What is the Australian Qualifications Framework?

    A brief overview of the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) follows. For a full explanation ofthe AQF see the AQF Implementation Handbook, 3rd Edition 2002. You can download it from theAustralian Qualifications Advisory Board (AQFAB) website (www.aqf.edu.au) or obtain a hard copyby contacting AQFAB on phone 03 9639 1606 or by emailing AQFAB on [email protected]

    The AQF provides a comprehensive, nationally consistent framework for all qualifications inpost-compulsory education and training in Australia. In the vocational education and training (VET)sector it assists national consistency for all trainees, learners, employers and providers by enablingnational recognition of qualifications and Statements of Attainment.

    Training Package qualifications in the VET sector must comply with the titles and guidelines of theAQF. Endorsed Training Packages provide a unique title for each AQF qualification which mustalways be reproduced accurately.

    Qualifications

    Training Packages can incorporate the following eight AQF qualifications.

    • Certificate I in …• Certificate II in …• Certificate III in …• Certificate IV in …• Diploma of …• Advanced Diploma of …• Vocational Graduate Certificate of …• Vocational Graduate Diploma of …

    On completion of the requirements defined in the Training Package, a Registered TrainingOrganisation (RTO) may issue a nationally recognised AQF qualification. Issuance of AQFqualifications must comply with the advice provided in the AQF Implementation Handbook and theAustralian Quality Training Framework Standards for Registered Training Organisations, particularlyStandard 10.

    Statement of Attainment

    Where an AQF qualification is partially achieved through the achievement of one or more endorsedunits of competency, an RTO may issue a Statement of Attainment. Issuance of Statements ofAttainment must comply with the advice provided in the AQF Implementation Handbook and theAustralian Quality Training Framework Standards for Registered Training Organisations, particularlyStandard 10.

    Under the Standards for Registered Training Organisations, RTOs must recognise the achievement ofcompetencies as recorded on a qualification or Statement of Attainment issued by other RTOs. Giventhis, recognised competencies can progressively build towards a full AQF qualification.

    AQF Guidelines and Learning Outcomes

    The AQF Implementation Handbook provides a comprehensive guideline for each AQF qualification.A summary of the learning outcome characteristics and their distinguishing features for each VETrelated AQF qualification is provided below.

  • Each qualification has been given a title consistent with the format of the Australian QualificationsFramework. The titles have been determined by the music industry to ensure that they describeoutcomes that are meaningful and easily recognised by the industry.

    The music industry training package specifies the only acceptable nomenclature and code for aqualification issued under the training package and must be used by registered training organisationsresponsible for issuing qualifications. The qualifications issued by a registered training organisationshould show a full list of all the units of competency achieved.

    There are 14 national qualifications in the music industry training package. Certificates I and II aregeneral qualifications which provide a broad introduction to the music industry and give individuals theopportunity to develop a range of foundation skills and knowledge. At higher levels individuals mayselect from three possible streams: music (performing, composing or a combination of both), technicalproduction and music business. Each of these qualifications gives individuals the opportunity toincorporate units from the other streams (included in the unit bank).

    Nominating specialisations

    The music industry training package offers national qualifications in three streams: music (performing,composing or a combination of both), technical production and music business. However, thequalifications in the music stream do not specify specialisations (such as music styles or genres)because this would result in the addition of numerous qualifications to the framework without anyactual change in their structure.

    Neither do the competency standards specify any particular style or genre of music. However, allperforming, composing and related standards state that the assessee must nominate the area ofspecialisation in which he or she is to be assessed.

    It is essential that qualifications fully describe the specialisations in which individuals achievecompetence in performance and/or composition. There is, for example, a big difference betweenperforming classical and contemporary music. To address this requirement, all qualifications andStatements of Attainment should clearly state the appropriate specialisation (eg style of music). Thisinformation should be recorded either on the qualification/Statement of Attainment or on anaccompanying transcript.

    The following list sets out the main specialisations which will apply, either singly or in combination.

    Musical styles

    • contemporary• jazz• classical• world

    Instrument/voice

    As far as possible the specialisation should nominate the individual instrument (eg violin, drums,guitar) where competence has been achieved. Note that candidates may achieve competence in one ormore instruments and that a specialisation may combine the style of music with the nominatedinstrument.
