A training package is a set of nationally endorsed training standards, qualifications and guidelines in Australia.

A training package is used to recognise and assess the skills and knowledge people need to perform effectively in the workplace. Training packages are developed by Service Skills Organisations [1] or by enterprises to meet the training needs of an industry or group of industries. Training packages prescribe outcomes required by the workplace, not training or education.

A training package contains three compulsory endorsed components:

• Competency standards
• Qualifications framework
• Assessment guidelines
