BSB Training Package Version 7.0 | Interpretation Manual
BSB Business Services Training Package Version 7.0
The BSB Training Package plays a significant role in the vocational education and training (VET) system. Each year 350,000 Australians enrol in a BSB Training Package qualification (NCVER, 2020). At the time of publication, more than 1,700 registered training organisations (RTOs) have one of these qualifications on their scope of registration. During an extensive two-and-a-half year review, Version 7.0 of the BSB Training Package was developed. The updates to this Training Package better support learners and employers through more relevant qualifications and units of competency, resulting in more work-ready graduates and better occupational outcomes for learners. The review was carried out in two project streams, one addressing transferable (or business enterprise) skills and the other addressing priority technical skills. For more information on the review please refer to the Case for Endorsement document, available for download from VETNet.
Introduction to this Manual
This Interpretation Manual has been developed to support RTOs with transitioning to Version 7.0 of the BSB Training Package. The release of the updated Training Package requires many RTOs to refresh their training materials and to apply to the Regulator to update their scope of registration. The aim of this Manual is to provide clear and consistent advice to RTOs on how requirements within units of competency may be contextualised for a workplace environment. This Manual provides trainers and assessors with insight from industry practitioners, peak bodies and other RTOs that will assist with creating meaningful and effective support material for learners. Content for each unit reflects those items identified in consultation that would benefit from guidance. Not all requirements of a unit of competency are addressed by this Manual. The information in this Manual is offered as supplementary interpretation guidance for the BSB Business Services Training Package Version 7.0. The interpretations and advice in this Manual are not enforceable and serve as guidance only. ASQA, VRQA and TAC are the sector regulators responsible for determining matters of compliance in relation to RTOs and training providers. The interpretation guidance in this Manual is current at the time of publication, October 2020. PwC's Skills for Australia acknowledges that this project was funded by the Australian Government Department of Education, Skills and Employment.

Frequently Asked Questions
To accompany the release of Version 7.0 of the BSB Training Package, a series of public information sessions were held in October 2020. This section reflects some of the questions frequently raised by members of the public during those sessions.
1. Now that an updated version of the BSB Training Package has been released, what do RTOs need to do? Changes to qualifications may require RTOs to update training delivery to align to the updated Packaging Rules. Changes to units of competency may also require RTOs to refresh their training materials. An extended 18-month transition period applies to all training products that have been updated as part of this review. The transition period begins on the date the Training Package was released (October 2020) and ends 18-months thereafter (April 2022). Prior to the transition end date, either: (a) the learner's training and assessment must be completed and the relevant AQF certification documentation must be issued; or (b) the learner must be transferred into the updated version of the training product. Refer to Clauses 1.26 and 1.27 of the Standards for RTOs. RTOs may also be required to apply to the Regulator to update their scope of registration (see below).
2. Do I need to do anything to have the updated qualifications added to my scope of registration? RTOs should refer to the `Qualification Mapping Information' field on training.gov.au to determine whether the updated version of a qualification has been deemed Equivalent or Not Equivalent to its superseded version. Information on equivalence is also set out in the Companion Volume Implementation Guide (CVIG), available for download from VETNet. Where a qualification is Equivalent to its superseded version, that qualification will automatically be added to the RTO's scope of registration. Where the qualification is Not Equivalent to its superseded version, RTOs will be required to apply via the Regulator to get the updated qualification on scope.
3. If I model my training and assessment on the the advice in this Interpretation Manual, will it be deemed compliant in the event of an audit? Whilst the information in this Manual represents the view of PwC's Skills for Australia, it may not reflect the position taken by ASQA, VRQA or TAC in the event of an audit. Guidance in this Manual will not be determinative in an audit. RTOs should consider the guidance in this Manual in conjunction with the requirements set out in the Standards for RTOs.
4. In this Manual, why is interpretation guidance provided for some (but not all) requirements of a unit of competency? The content for each unit of competency reflects those items identified in consultation that would benefit from guidance. Not all requirements of a unit of competency are addressed by this Manual. If you feel that additional items would benefit from interpretation guidance, please contact us at info@skillsforaustralia.com.
5. Will PwC's Skills for Australia provide advice on nominal hours for units of competency? PwC's Skills for Australia is the Skills Service Organisation (SSO) responsible for supporting the Business Services Industry Reference Committee with the review and development of the BSB Training Package. Our remit as an SSO does not extend to matters of training delivery, such as nominal hours. For this reason we do not provide advice on nominal hours for units of competency. As a matter of practice, interested stakeholders often refer to the guidance set out in the Victorian Purchasing Guides.
6. I deliver a qualification that has superseded BSB units of competency listed in the Packaging Rules. Do I need to transition and deliver the updated version of these units? RTOs are required to continue delivering the units of competency that are listed in the Packaging Rules of the qualification on training.gov.au. The requirement to transition does not apply where a superseded unit of competency is specifically listed in a qualification. Refer to Clause 1.27 of the Standards for RTOs.

Frequently Asked Questions (cont.)
7. How is an updated qualification deemed Equivalent or Not Equivalent to its superseded version? The equivalence of qualifications is determined in accordance with Section 3.4. of the Training Package Products Policy. In short, where a qualification is superseded and the `occupational outcome' of the qualification has not changed, the updated qualification ought to be deemed Equivalent to its superseded version. This section of the Policy allows the Industry Reference Committee to exercise discretion in determining whether the occupational outcome of the qualification has changed, and therefore whether the qualification must be deemed Not Equivalent. In some instances, an Industry Reference Committee may choose to apply one or more rules of thumb to help determine qualification equivalence. Some indicators of non-equivalence may include: increasing/decreasing the total number of units in the qualification, changing the composition of core units (e.g. by adding or removing units), or adding/removing Entry Requirements. None of these factors are determinative. A substantiation of the determination of equivalence or non-equivalence of all training products in BSB Version 7.0 can be found in the Modification History tables in the Companion Volume Implementation Guide (CVIG), available for download from VETNet.
8. Have updates been made to the Work Health and Safety qualifications as part of BSB Version 7.0? The Work Health and Safety qualifications (BSB30719, BSB41419, BSB51319, BSB60619) were recently reviewed, with updated versions of these qualifications released on training.gov.au in August 2019. As part of BSB Version 7.0, the elective unit lists of these qualifications have been refreshed to incorporate units of competency that have been updated as part of this review. This constitutes a `minor change' to the qualification (ref. Section 6.2. of the Training Package Development and Endorsement Process Policy) and therefore does not impact RTO scope. RTOs ought to begin delivering the updated elective units in accordance with the transition requirements mandated by the Standards for RTOs (ref. Question 1 of this FAQ). Given that the qualifications were not in scope for the BSB Version 7.0 review, no change has been made to the structure of the qualifications or any core units, nor were changes made to any `BSBWHS' units of competency.
9. What are the cross-sector units of competency? (Section 25 of this Manual, p. 691) Many of the skills most valued by industry cut across multiple sectors of Australia's economy. However, training package components are not always developed in a way that recognises the importance of skills in multiple sectors or encourages training products to be used to their full potential in various industry contexts. The Australian Industry and Skills Committee (AISC) has identified several cross-sector skills areas where opportunities exist to create flexible and transferable training package components that will benefit industry, learners and the broader VET sector. These cross-sector skills are at the forefront of growth and innovation in Australia. The intention of the cross-sector training products is for industries and training package developers to import these units of competency into industry relevant qualifications in a manner that suits the job roles in those industries. Consequently, these units have been written in a way that allows for contextualisation to different industries. More information on the cross-sector skill areas addressed by the BSB Training Package is set out in the Companion Volume Implementation Guide (CVIG), available for download from VETNet (refer to pp. 133-136).

An Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation (ACCO) is an incorporated Aboriginal organisation, initiated, based in and governed by, the local Aboriginal community to deliver holistic and culturally appropriate services to the Aboriginal community that controls it.
Cultural protocols refer to the customs, lore and codes of behaviour of a particular cultural group and a way of conducting business. It also refers to the protocols and procedures used to guide the observance of traditional knowledge and practices, including how traditional knowledge is used, recorded and disseminated.
SWOT stands for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.

Cross-Sector Units of Competency Overview
Many of the skills most valued by industry cut across multiple sectors of Australia's economy. However, training package components are not always developed in a way that recognises the importance of skills in multiple sectors or encourages training products to be used to their full potential in various industry contexts. The Australian Industry and Skills Committee (AISC) has identified several cross sector skills areas where opportunities exist to create flexible and transferable training package components that will benefit industry, learners and the broader VET sector. These cross sector skills are at the forefront of growth and innovation in Australia.
The intention of the cross sector training products is for industries and training package developers to import these units of competency into industry relevant qualifications in a manner that suits the job roles in those industries. Consequently, these units have been written in a way that allows for contextualisation to different industries.

Cross-Sector
WHSX

Overview of Cross-Sector unit sectors

Big data (XBD)

Big data is becoming more abundant within organisations. Due to the broad reaching nature of big data in an increasingly digital world, there is a long list of industries which could potentially benefit from improved big data related training products.

Cyber security (XCS)

Cyber security is an increasingly important issue that affects all industries and organisations, large and small. Currently there are very limited training options available in VET for those not in specialist IT roles to improve their skills in supporting a cyber secure workforce.

Teamwork and communication (XTW, XCM)

The teamwork and communication cross sector skills stemmed from an initial analysis that found there were large numbers of units of competency across all training packages covering these topics. It was identified that it would be beneficial for these skills to be consolidated into common units to enable learners to develop skills that easily transferable across industries.

Inclusion of people with disability (XDB)

The cross sector units in this space focus on upskilling individuals who engage with people with disability in workplaces and education settings, so as to facilitate enhanced inclusion of people with disability.

Infection prevention and control (WHSX)

The development of this unit was instigated by the COVID-19 pandemic and recovery phase; however, has been developed as a new unit of competency to be applicable across a variety of roles and sectors and is designed to address infection prevention and control generally, not specific to one pandemic. The unit addresses skills and knowledge required to apply infection prevention and control procedures to own work activities, to ensure a safe return to work.
