Product: Vocational Competency and Equivalence Mapping Tool Template

It is a compliance requirement that trainers and assessors have vocational competencies at least to the level being delivered and assessed, and this mapping tool template gives a perfect framework to document relevant knowledge, skills and experience.

Please note that the revised Standards for Registered Training Organisations were publicly released on 1 October 2024 and will come into full regulatory effect from 1 July 2025. 

The Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) 2015 will continue to apply until then.

This template is based on, and refers to, the requirements for the current regulatory environment.

This tool comes as a four tab spreadsheet together with an example sheet complete with notes and instructions.  The four tabs within the spreadsheet cover:

1. Purpose: What the tool is for; How to use the tool; Glossary of relevant terms; Useful links and notes.

2. Mapping: Which can be completed at a micro unit-by-unit level; or macro unit-within-a-qualification level.

3. Evidence Summary: Where all relevant evidence can be catalogued, related to knowledge and skills required by the unit(s), and verified.  This table allows for a record of qualifications, work, industry currency and VET currency.

4. Approval Record: Where the RTO's compliance manager (or other appropriate personnel) can record their judgement on the evidence; whether it is sufficient for purpose, and whether it meets the needs of the RTO.

This product is a must for any trainer/assessor who needs a robust, thorough way to demonstrate evidence of vocational competency. It has been updated to reflect early changes to the Standards for RTOs 2015 which came into effect 1 March 2024.
