Adding value to extension programs (pdf 270kb)

This report aims to enhance the interaction of the VET (Vocational Education Training) system with the rural extension system. It draws on literature, practitioner experience and case studies to 'demystify' the VET approach and looks at the processes for accrediting training programs and/or aligning  (mapping) informal training outcomes with VET endorsed competencies.

It provides a step by step process for extension officers and managers to accredit or align their training offerings under the Australian National Training Framework.

The report is also aimed at those who attend accredited training in terms of how they might gain the accreditation and build the credits into a formal qualification.
