Surviving a training package update
Version control that tells you exactly what changed, which assessment tools it breaks, and what must happen before the transition period closes.
THE SHORT ANSWER
- The risk is documents that silently reference the old unit.
- Impact analysis should list affected tools, mappings, policies and cohorts.
- Comparison at criterion level tells you edit vs rebuild.
Steps
1. Detect the change early
Monitor training.gov.au for qualifications you deliver.
2. Compare at criterion level
Diff elements, PCs, foundation skills and conditions.
3. Run impact analysis
List every tool, mapping, policy, brochure and cohort affected.
4. Decide edit or rebuild per tool
Avoid rebuilding a whole suite unnecessarily.
5. Plan transition with dates and owners
Validate updated tools before the first cohort is assessed.
Frequently asked questions
