Trainer and Assessors competencies are a continual question I am asked when setting up RTO’s or doing compliance assignments with RTO’s. You need to review both the
AQTF Element 1.4 and the NQC Policy which states:
In July 2010 the NQC issued a new policy on the competencies to be held by trainers and assessors under AQTF Standard 1.4(a). The policy, published as Appendix 2 to the Users’ Guide to the AQTF Essential Conditions and Standards, stipulates that:
Trainers must:
Training Package; or
(ii) be able to demonstrate equivalent competencies; or
(iii) work under the direct supervision* of a person who has the competencies specified
in (i) or (ii) above; and
be able to demonstrate vocational competencies at least to the level of those being delivered.
