Subjects
Total number of units = 12
5 core units plus
7 elective units
The elective units consist of
up to 7 from Group A or Group B
up to 2 may be from elsewhere in this Training Package, another currently endorsed Training Package or any accredited course at AQF level II or III.
Elective units must be relevant to the work environment and the qualification, maintain the integrity of the Australian Qualification Framework (AQF) alignment and contribute to a valid, industry-supported vocational outcome. This could be achieved by selecting a specialisation (see below) or by selecting an appropriate mix of electives from both Group A and B.
Units selected from other training packages or accredited courses must not duplicate units selected from, or available within, the ICT Information and Communications Technology Training Package.
Refer to the Specialisations information below, and to the Companion Volume Implementation Guide, for advice about choosing electives to support specialisations.
