ABOUT THE TRAINING PLAN
The Training Plan describes what training is to be undertaken, who provides the training
and conducts the assessments, and how, when and where this will occur.
The Training Plan is developed by a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) in
consultation/negotiation with the employer and apprentice/trainee. Under user choice
arrangements, the employer and apprentice/trainee have the right to decide which RTO will
deliver their training, the units of competence and the sequence they will be delivered, and
how, when, where and by whom training and assessment will be delivered.
The Training Plan is a working document to be used for the duration of the Training
Contract and must be updated as necessary to reflect the current status of training.
A copy of the current Training Plan, must include any updates, must be kept by the RTO,
employer and apprentice/trainee, with a copy always accessible in the workplace and to
Training Services NSW.
Upon completion of this Training Plan the apprentice/trainee is eligible to be issued with
the appropriate qualification.
The RTO issues the qualification when the employer has verified that the apprentice/trainee
is competent in the vocation to the required industry standard.
