Industry curriculum frameworks are based on nationally endorsed Training Packages. They specify the range of industry-developed units of competency from the relevant Training Packages which are suitable for the HSC. They also define how units of competency are arranged in HSC Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses to gain unit credit for the HSC. This Industry Curriculum Framework document contains the HSC Automotive VET courses to be delivered for the HSC by schools, TAFE NSW colleges and other Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) on behalf of schools or TAFE NSW colleges. 2Documents Associated with Industry Curriculum FrameworksThe purpose of the industry curriculum framework documents is to assist teachers and trainers to develop teaching and assessment programs, and to help manage competency achievement by HSC candidates.Part A of the Automotive Curriculum Framework Stage 6 Syllabus describes how students may achieve unit credit towards the HSC and credit towards a vocational qualification. It contains general advice about the Automotive Curriculum Framework and describes course structures and requirements, including work placement. This document should be used as the first reference when planning to implement courses for the HSC.The set of documents associated with the Framework is shown below.2.1Automotive Curriculum Framework Stage 6 Syllabus documentationAssessment and Reporting in Automotive Stage 6Syllabus Part A Course Structures and RequirementsSyllabus Part BUnits of Competency and HSC RequirementsPerformance Band DescriptionsHSC Notes from the Marking CentreSpecimen HSC Examination PaperSupport Materials3The Higher School Certificate Program of StudyThe purpose of the HSC program of study is to: provide a curriculum structure which encourages students to complete secondary education foster the intellectual, social and moral development of students, in particular developing their: knowledge, skills, understanding and attitudes in the fields of study they choose capacity to manage their own learning desire to continue learning in formal or informal settings after school capacity to work with others respect for the cultural diversity of Australian society provide a flexible structure within which students can prepare for: further education and training employment full and active participation as citizens provide formal assessment and certification of students achievements provide a context within which schools also have the opportunity to foster students physical and spiritual development. 4Vocational Education and Training (VET) in the NSW HSC4.1The national contextVET programs offered for the HSC are consistent with the National Training Framework (NTF). The NTF is the system of vocational education and training that: applies nationally is made up of the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF) and nationally endorsed Training Packages. The AQTF is the agreed quality framework for the national VET system.The Australian Qualification Framework (AQF) is the policy framework that defines all qualifications recognised nationally in post-compulsory education and training in Australia. HSC VET course qualifications are recognised within the AQF.4.2Determination of AQF VET qualifications for HSC studentsThe HSC VET industry curriculum frameworks are based on units of competency and qualifications contained in nationally endorsed Training Packages. These AQF VET qualifications are determined by the qualification rules for each Training Package, referred to as qualification packaging rules. The qualification packaging rules describe the number and range of units of competency required for eligibility for an AQF VET qualification.Course structures for the HSC are described in each industry curriculum framework syllabus. In order to have satisfactorily completed a framework course, students must follow the course structure, attempt the required units of competency with diligence and sustained effort, and fulfil work placement requirements.The rules and structure of HSC VET courses are not always identical to the qualification packaging rules. In some cases more units of competency are required for the HSC course than are required for successful completion of the AQF VET qualification.In some HSC courses, students might not achieve all of the specified units of competency for the purposes of the HSC, but may still be eligible for the qualification as a result of meeting the requirements of the packaging rules for that AQF VET qualification.Sections 8.4, 8.5, 8.6, 17.1 and 17.2 outline the course structures within the Automotive Curriculum Framework.Section 15 outlines the qualification packaging rules for each AQF VET qualification available through the Automotive Curriculum Framework (reproduced directly from the Training Package) and should be consulted when selecting elective units of competency. 5RationaleCareers in the automotive industries can be very rewarding and they provide a range of portable skills. The retail, service and repair sector of the automotive industry employs more than 270 000 people across more than 60 000 mostly small businesses and has an annual turnover of more than $80 billion. There are many career options available in this sector of the industry. The range of jobs includes sale of new and used vehicles, sale of parts and accessories, repair and maintenance of vehicles (including electrical, mechanical and vehicle body repair), performance enhancement, and rectifying and disposing of components at the end of a vehicles life. DEST, 2005, Automotive Industry Retail, Service and Repair Training Package (AUR05), Volume 1, Introduction to AUR05, p 73.The Automotive Industry Retail, Service and Repair Training Package (AUR05) offers qualifications from Certificate I to Diploma and specifies the competencies required for various specialised occupations. The Automotive Curriculum Framework is based on units of competency from this Training Package.The inclusion of automotive courses in the HSC that are based on industry-recognised AQF VET qualifications will allow students to access both long-term and short-term employment opportunities. Courses within the Automotive Curriculum Framework provide an opportunity for students to gain Certificates I or II or a Statement of Attainment towards Certificate III as part of their HSC. Apart from being nationally recognised, these AQF VET qualifications articulate into higher-level qualifications in the automotive industry, including those which underpin apprenticeship and traineeship pathways, which students may pursue post-school. The Framework also provides an optional HSC examination, which allows results from the Automotive (240 indicative hours) and Automotive School-based Apprenticeship (240 indicative hours) courses to contribute to the calculation of the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR).Learning in each HSC course within the Automotive Curriculum Framework provides opportunities for students to develop relevant technical, vocational and interpersonal competencies suitable for employment and further training in the automotive industry. It also provides skills, knowledge and experiences such as teamwork, communication and occupational health and safety that are transferable to other industry areas.6AimThe Automotive Curriculum Framework is designed to enable students to acquire a range of technical, practical, personal and organisational skills valued in and beyond the workplace. They will also acquire underpinning knowledge and skills related to work, employment and further training in the automotive industry. Through the study of this subject, students will gain experiences that can be applied in a range of contexts, including work, study and leisure, that will assist them to make informed career choices.7Automotive Curriculum Framework 7.1Training Package qualificationsThe Automotive Curriculum Framework is based on the national Automotive Industry Retail, Service and Repair Training Package (AUR05).The Automotive Industry Retail, Service and Repair Training Package incorporates five nationally recognised qualification levels ranging from AQF Certificate I in Automotive to Diplomas of Automotive Management, Automotive Technology and Motorsport.7.2AQF VET qualifications available in the Automotive Curriculum FrameworkThe AQF VET qualifications available in the Automotive Curriculum Framework are listed in Table 1 below. Section 15 of this document outlines the qualification packaging rules for the qualifications available through the courses within the Framework.A Statement of Attainment will be issued for achievement of single or multiple units of competency. At a later date, a person can undertake further skill development or training and be assessed against additional competencies until they have achieved all the competencies required for an AQF VET qualification. RTOs must recognise and give credit for the competencies recorded on a Statement of Attainment.
