dc.description.abstractIn recent times Government Skills Australia developed ten competency based training units in radiation safety, which are part of the Public Sector training package. The Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation will be implementing these units into the various commercial training programs it has been conducting for the past 1 5 years. Competency based training has long been a part of Vocational Educational Training (VET)and for those who wish to embark on the development of courses based on the radiation safety competency units a steep learning curve is required, involving new terminology, ever changing departments, websites, regulations and guidelines. (an example of this is the NSW Environmental Protection Agency and its many name changes over the past few years). The presentation will describe the steps and pitfalls encountered by ANSTO since embarking on the remake of our radiation safety training courses incorporating the competency based radiation safety units in Public Sector training package PSP04. The presentation will provide an introduction to these units, including recent changes of Certificate IV in Training and Assessment. CertlV in Training and Assessment is a recommended qualification to begin the challenge of working within the VET system. It is essential due to the recent version changes to upgrade the Certificate IV in Training and Assessment TAA40104 qualification to the TAE401 10 qualification. For those interested parties I will provide a "hands on" navigation of VET system websites and overview of the radiation safety competency units.en_AU
