Following advice from the Australian Industry and Skills Committee (AISC) and stakeholder consultation conducted by the Manufacturing and Engineering Industry Reference Committee, in December 2020 Skills Ministers agreed to a one-off, limited exemption to the 2012 Standards for Training Packages for Release 2.0 of the Manufacturing and Engineering Training Package.
The AISC Secretariat will work with the Skills Service Organisation, IBSA Manufacturing, to update the training package over the coming months. The finalised training package will then be uploaded on training.gov.au.
This exemption to the Standards will not apply to any other training packages or qualifications, including other Manufacturing and Engineering qualifications.
