Applications resulting from training package updates
A streamlined process has been developed to simplify EVAC applications for replacement Class A or B apprenticeships and traineeships that result from national training package updates. Qualifications deemed equivalent and qualifications deemed to be non-equivalent can undergo this expedited process if the industry training council confirms the new qualification is practically equivalent to the replacement qualification.
Practically equivalent is defined as "if the new qualification leads to the same learning outcome and broad job role as the previous qualification. Broad job role means that industry considers the updated qualification continues to meet their requirements and leads to the same job or occupation".
This process is considered to meet the legislative requirements under the Vocational Education and Training Act 1996 and associated Regulations.
