A Training Plan is a formal, working document which describes what training and assessment will be carried out during an apprentice or trainees training contract and relates to relevant trade qualification.
Every apprentice or trainee in NSW receives an individualised Training Plan.
The Training Plan will include:
- The title of the formal qualification the Employee is undertaking.
- The Commencement date of the formal training.
- The Units of Competency, including any elective units, that will make up the qualification.
- The competency record or work evidence the Employer needs to sign off.
- The mode of delivery of formal training by the RTO (for example, classroom based, block release, online learning etc).
- How and when assessments will happen.
- Training materials that will be provided by the RTO
- Specific assistance provided by the RTO to meet any special learning needs (for example, literacy, numeracy, mentoring).
As a minimum, the training plan will be updated by the RTO and reviewed by the employer at least once every six (6) months.
A completed Training Plan where all units have been endorsed by the employer is required for the Apprentice/Trainee to receive their qualification, get their Certificate of Proficiency, and complete their apprenticeship or traineeship.
