Validity

Saying something is simply not enough.Documents like resumes are merely saying something in writing (statements) that need to be backed up by supporting evidence. They give us a clear picture of what you are currently doing and may have done in the past however anything you say you have done in your resume must be supported with hard evidence.

Hard Evidence

If it isn’t in writing, it doesn’t count. All evidence needs to be documented, and may include items such as testimonies, reference letters, third party reports, as long as they are recorded and are able to be validated.

Currency

Everything needs to be current (up to date) Just because you hold a qualification it doesn’t mean it’s acceptable. Things change and you need to demonstrate how you have maintained your currency. Think about what you have done to maintain your currency: have you attended workshops, conferences, further refresher training, read publications, signed up to industry journals or newsletters or observed the practice of others etc.

Overseas, Non-accredited, and University Qualifications

These may not be measurable against Australian Qualifications.The trap here is that these qualifications may have different terminology, components, learning outcomes, or elements that we are simply unable to accurately map against the units in a VET course. If we can’t map it, we can’t award it.

Your Own Work

Your evidence needs to demonstrate your work, experience, knowledge and ability against ASQA and the training package requirements. What your company or another organisation counts may not be enough or correct for ASQA or the training package requirements.
