FBP20117

Conditions

• Available From 06/09/2018
• Duration in months, based on full-time employment 24
• Available Part-time Yes - the following conditions apply:
  
  • The minimum number of hours of employment is 15 per week unless otherwise agreed by TTAC;
  • The maximum term of the training contract is no more than twice the nominal full time duration for the qualification;
  • The minimum term is no less that one and a half times the nominal full time duration for the qualification;

• Notes Recently Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) approved the extended transition for FBP20117 Certificate II in Food Processing qualification to 31 July 2023. ASQA consulted Victorian Registration and Qualification Authority (VRQA) and Training Accreditation Council Western Australia (TAC WA) for this extended transition request. The decision was made on 5 September 2022 with support from Skills Impact in their role as the Skills Service Organisation; Skills Victoria (Skills First program, State of Victoria Department of Education and Training); employers and feedback received from ASQA registered RTOs currently delivering the FBP20117 Certificate II in Food Processing. It was demonstrated to ASQA that learners would be genuinely disadvantaged if they were required to transition to the replacement qualification as the significance of change would not provide the expected learning outcome for existing learners. This extension is granted to all ASQA registered training organisations (RTOs) delivering the FBP20117 Certificate II in Food Processing qualification to 31 July 2023. The decision extends the transition period for ASQA registered RTOs to continue training assessment and issue Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) certification. The FBP20117 Certificate II in Food Processing qualification will remain on ASQA registered RTOs scope of registration until the end of the extended transition period unless the RTO chooses to withdraw it from scope prior. ASQA will publish this decision on its website. If you have any questions about this decision, please contact transitionrequest@asqa.gov.au
