Flexibility: Training Packages have great flexibility. They encourage the development of relevant workplace competencies and can be learnt directly in the workplace or at a learning institution in conjunction with simulated workplace experiences.
There is a high level of flexibility available for delivery and assessment of Training Package qualifications because of the choice among support materials and the range of possible modes of delivery and assessment. This flexibility should encourage trainers and assessors to develop learner-centred training programs.
Training and career pathways: Training Packages contain a suite of qualifications and a wide range of their own units of competency and also those imported from other Training Packages. This allows for diverse pathways in the industry for which they are developed and also into other industries. In addition, some Training Packages provide indicative advice regarding occupational pathways.
Choice: Training Packages give enterprises and individuals more choice in setting up and providing training and assessment to suit their needs. In addition, workers can be trained and assessed at times and in locations that suit their individual requirements, as well as those of their employers.
Consistency: Training Packages provide a consistent framework for Vocational Education and Training (VET), thus reducing unnecessary duplication of courses and resources.
National recognition: Training Packages provide qualifications and units of competency that are recognised across State and Territory boundaries.
Recognition of current skills: Training Packages give people the opportunity to have their current skills, knowledge and experiences recognised formally, without having to complete unnecessary training, through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) processes.
