Session overview

Training Package reform was reshaping the VET landscape, and Template B was at the centre of this shift. The new Applied Knowledge and Skills template moved beyond task-based units and introduced broader, capability-focused outcomes that demanded a fresh approach to delivery and assessment.

This session gave RTO leaders and practitioners a clear, practical understanding of what Template B was, how it differed from traditional unit structures, and what it meant for designing and implementing learning and assessment. Through real examples, simple frameworks, and a short interactive activity, participants learned how to interpret Template B units, build capability-rich learning experiences, and confidently deliver training aligned with the future direction of VET.

Key topics covered

  • The new training package environment
  • Training Package Operating Framework and Templates A and B
  • How Template B changes the role of units
  • What “capability-based” design means in practice
  • Designing learning sequences that build broader skills
  • Assessment approaches that capture capability, not just task completion
  • How to integrate foundation skills holistically
  • Practical examples across a variety of industry
