MSA commences review and redevelopment of the LMF02 Furnishing Training Package

asin — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 03:46:09 +0000

A research project undertaken by MSA during 2010-2011 identified a clear need for a full review of the Furnishing Training Package, with the report recommending that the review include consideration of how occupations and jobs have changed as well as recognising that many skills are used and applied across a range of jobs and industry sectors. This is evidenced by labour movements across the market where workers move from enterprise to enterprise and even sector to sector.

This redevelopment is needed to ensure that the furnishing qualifications and units of competency:

meet industry skill needs without undue fragmentation and duplication of skills
comply with the latest Training Package policy and design requirements
are internally consistent
take full account of development in complementary areas of skills application.

The findings of the report and the recommendation to proceed with the full review was fully supported by the MSA Board Furnishing Sub-Committee in June 2011, with the expectation that the review would commence following distribution of a discussion paper and project plan. However, since the committee’s decision, the project commencement was delayed while MSA discussed some aspects of the intended review with industry parties.

BSB07 Business Services Training Package (Version 6)

asin — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 03:39:56 +0000

Version 6 of the BSB07 Business Services Training Package was endorsed by the National Skills Standards Council (NSSC) on October 26th and is now available on Training.gov.au.

The major changes include the revised Customer Contact units of competency and qualifications.
• Certificate II in Customer Contact (BSB20211)
• Certificate III in Customer Contact (BSB30211)
• Certificate IV in Customer Contact (BSB40311)
• Diploma of Customer Contact (BSB50311)

The qualifications have been reviewed to better address the dynamics of the industry including multi-channel communication, data interrogation, compliance requirements, achieving KPIs, scheduling requirements, and inbound and outbound customer contact.

Greater flexibility has been provided in the qualifications by reducing the number of core units and providing a larger choice of elective units. One of the major changes is the removal of the Advanced Diploma of Customer Contact which was due to the lack of industry demand and uptake of the qualification.
