Definitions for "National Training Framework"
sets the agenda for present government policies and goals in regard to training, evaluation, delivery and skills recognition. See http://www.anta.gov.au/dapTrainingasp
Sets out the component parts of the vocational education system - national competency standards, national qualifications and national assessment guidelines - and their relationship to each other including implementation, quality assurance and recognition strategies and procedures.
The National Training Framework consists of two interconnected features: New recognition arrangements comprising revised and simplified arrangements (called the Australian Recognition Framework) for the recognition of training organisations and training products, and assuring the quality of training provision; and Training packages which integrate nationally available training products, including new assessment arrangements, with competency standards (Australian National Training Authority, 1997)
