What is a Unit of Competency? Guide for Australian RTOs
Units of Competency are the building blocks of vocational training. Each unit describes the skills and knowledge a person needs to perform a specific job task. These units set clear expectations. They help trainers and assessors measure a learner’s ability to do real work.
How Units of Competency work
Units of Competency in Training Packages follow a national
format. They list what a learner must know and what they must do. Each unit has
elements, performance criteria, and assessment requirements. This structure
helps ensure that the training meets industry needs.
Units of Competency in Training Packages are not just theory.
They are linked to actual work tasks. Trainers use them to build programs that
match real jobs. Employers know what to expect when someone completes a unit.
That means better job outcomes for learners.
Why they matter to RTOs
Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) must follow national
rules. Units of Competency help RTOs keep their training on track. They make
sure the courses match the standards set by industry.
RTOs must deliver each unit as it is written. They must assess
the learner against every part of the unit. Skipping steps is not an option.
What you get with a good unit
● Clear outcomes
● Set criteria for assessment
● Real-world focus
● Consistency across courses
