SCHEDULE 2 FUNDING: COLLEGE TRAINING PROFILE

1. Funding

a) Table 4 details the funding to be provided by the Minister for the delivery of the College Training Profile.

b) The basis of funding Advanced Skill Lecturer, Principal Lecturer and Salary Maintenance staff is listed in Table 5.

c) No funding will be provided by the Department of Treasury and Finance to cover the cost of the 27th pay that will occur in 2015. Providers should ensure that appropriate provision is made in the preceding years to cover the cost of the additional pay when it falls due.

2. Payment schedule

a) Subject to the Provider meeting all of the terms in this Agreement, the Minister will pay the Provider in fortnightly disbursements in accordance with a schedule issued by the Minister.

b) The Provider’s refund liability will be determined in the second quarter of 2011.

c) If a refund is payable, the Provider will pay the refund by the date stated on an invoice supplied by the Minister.

3. Refund

a) Where the Provider fails to meet the targets in Schedule 1, a refund will be payable to the Minister. In specific circumstances detailed below a credit may be payable to the Provider. The Total Refund is calculated as follows:

Total Refund

= Refund for EBT, Skills Shortage Institutional and General Institutional

Plus or Minus Additional Items Refund or Credit

Plus or Minus Fees Refund or Credit

Minus EBT Credit

Minus Skills Shortage Credit

The Provider is not eligible for additional funding where the EBT and Skills Shortage Credits are greater than the other refund items payable by the Provider.

The following clauses explain the components of the refund calculation.

b) The refund will be calculated separately for each of the following categories of delivery:

2010 Delivery and Performance Agreement between the Minister for Training and Workforce Development and Central Institute of Technology

Page 21

• EBT;

• Skills Shortage Institutional (SSI); and

• General Institutional (GI).

The Skills Shortage Matrix (Table 10) defines the Target SCH for each of these categories of delivery.

c) The refund for EBT, SSI and GI is calculated as follows:

i Reported SCH is sourced from the Provider’s final enrolment statistics data submission on an end of study basis. This is determined from the AVETMISS data collection in accordance with the following criteria:

• Fund source Id – State = 10;

• Enrolment category Id = C or S;

• Outcome identifier not 53, 54, 60 or 70; and

• Enrolment activity end date between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2010;

ii Validated SCH are determined by reducing Reported SCH by that portion of the Provider’s Invalid Enrolment (IE) rate in excess of three percent;

iii Funded SCH are determined by reducing Validated SCH for any delivery that exceeds the agreed tolerances for profile management (see below);

iv Shortfall SCH is determined by subtracting Funded SCH from Target SCH; and

v A Shortfall Refund is calculated for each category of delivery as: Shortfall SCH x Unit cost.

d) The Unit Cost for EBT delivery and IBT delivery is stated in Table 4.

e) Funded SCH for EBT is calculated by assessing the Provider’s total Validated SCH for EBT against the Provider’s total Target SCH for EBT. The following rules apply to the calculation of Funded SCH for EBT delivery:

i Where Validated SCH is greater than Target SCH, Funded SCH will be reduced to equal Target SCH. Any surplus Validated SCH for EBT delivery above the Target SCH will create an EBT Credit calculated on the Unit Cost for Employment Based Training.

ii Otherwise, Funded SCH equals Validated SCH.

f) Funded SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional is calculated by assessing the Provider’s total Validated SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional against the

2010 Delivery and Performance Agreement between the Minister for Training and Workforce Development and Central Institute of Technology

Page 22

Provider’s total Target SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional. The following rules apply to the calculation of Funded SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional delivery:

i Where Validated SCH is greater than Target SCH, Funded SCH will be reduced to equal Target SCH. Any surplus Validated SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional delivery above the Target SCH will create a Skills Shortage Credit calculated on the Unit Cost for Institutional Based Training.

ii Otherwise, Funded SCH equals Validated SCH.

g) Funded SCH for General Institutional is calculated by assessing the Provider’s Validated SCH for General Institutional in each Industry Group against the Target SCH for General Institutional.

h) The following General Institutional SCH are excluded from Funded SCH for General Institutional:

i Any Validated SCH above 500 SCH for an Industry Group which contains no Institutional target;

ii Any Validated SCH above the target for General Institutional training in an Industry Group that is subject to a ‘hard’ ceiling as set out in Table 6;

iii Any Validated SCH in Industry Groups without a ‘hard’ ceiling, where delivery exceeds the target for General Institutional by more than 40,000 SCH (for Industry Groups with an IBT target of greater than 200,000 SCH) or 20,000 SCH (for all other Industry Groups).

iv VET for schools IBT delivery above the level stated in Table 2;

v VET for school students IBT delivery in courses and qualifications excluded from this delivery under the protocol in Schedule 4;

vi IBT delivery to prisoners above the level stated in Table 2;

vii Any Validated SCH above the ceiling on other training in certificate I and below courses as set out in Table 2; and

viii Any Validated SCH above the sum of the ceilings on all certificate I and below courses as set out in Table 2.

i) An Additional Items Refund is calculated on each of the following:

i Funding provided for GROH housing in excess of actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider;

ii Funding provided for maintenance, minor works, equipment and the Technology Infrastructure Replacement Strategy in excess of the actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider against approved expenditures; and

SCHEDULE 4 PROTOCOL FOR VET IN SCHOOLS

The aim of this protocol is to ensure the most efficient and effective use of public resources in the implementation of the VET in Schools initiative. The Refund provisions in Schedule 2 identify the circumstances where a refund is payable for a breach of this protocol.

VET in Schools programs allow students studying towards the Western Australian Certificate of Education to gain a partial or complete VET qualification. Profile funded VET in Schools is a targeted program that aims to enhance existing VET in Schools delivery by providing:

• a pathway to higher level qualifications; • training that is not within the scope of registration of an RTO school; and/or • access to equipment and expertise not available in the school context. Profile funded VET in Schools consists of the School Apprenticeship Link and delivery to government and non-government schools subject to the following conditions:

School Apprenticeship Link (SAL) The School Apprenticeship Link (SAL) program supports the achievement of the Government’s targets for employment based training and school retention. The approach is aimed at increasing young people’s participation in education, employment and training and in particular in achieving a successful transition from school to an apprenticeship.

SAL is a school-based transition program delivered by a registered training organisation and available for students in Years 11 and 12. There are two SAL options in various trades; a two semester family of trades program and a three semester trade specific pre-apprenticeship.

The SAL Family of Trades model allows students to experience a range of trades within an industry to assist them in making an informed choice when selecting their apprenticeship.

The SAL pre-apprenticeship model accommodates students who are clear on the trade they want to undertake and provides for direct credit on entry into an apprenticeship. SAL pre-apprenticeships are identical to mainstream pre-apprenticeships.

SAL placements funded at each college are determined by the Department. The Department allocates funded places for both government and non-government schools. Providers must seek approval from the Department for any change in the number of SAL places.

Profile funded SAL delivery should be included in the Provider’s profile funded training and reported via AVETMISS. Student enrolments must be coded as follows:

Other VET in Schools

Profile funding for VET in Schools (other than SAL) is subject to the following conditions: a) the students must be enrolled at a government or non-government school; b) the primary target group for the training are students in years 11 or 12; c) the training delivery and assessment is conducted by the Provider;

d) participating students have demonstrated a commitment to the particular vocational program and an understanding of the requirements;

e) the training effort is consistent with: • the strategic priorities as outlined in the State Training Profile; and • Education District planning priorities.

f) VET in Schools is not to include delivery in courses or qualifications classified in the industry groups 19A to 19E. However, delivery in the following qualifications is permitted: • Certificate of Applied Vocational Study Skills (CAVSS) provided the delivery

is in accordance with the CAVSS Protocol; and • Certificate I in Leadership Development.

g) VET in Schools is not to include delivery at certificate I in the following industry groups:

16A Accounting and Other Business Services 16C Office and Clerical 17A Computing.

SCHEDULE 5 SCHOOL-BASED APPRENTICESHIPS AND TRAINEESHIPS

School-based apprenticeships and traineeships provide an opportunity for full time secondary students enrolled in school to begin preparing themselves for a career. They allow students studying towards the Western Australian Certificate of Education to gain a nationally recognised vocational education and training qualification. Public funding for school-based apprenticeship and traineeship delivery: • may be utilised for the component of training delivered and assessed by the

Provider; • is available to students enrolled in both government and non-government schools; • is to be achieved within the overall bottom line employment based delivery targets

established for the Provider; and • must be in accordance with the Guidelines and Working Principles for School-based

Apprenticeships and Traineeships in Western Australia and the Apprenticeship and Traineeship Policy Guidelines.

School-based apprenticeship and traineeship delivery should be included in the Provider’s profile funded training as reported via AVETMISS. Student enrolments must be coded as follows:

SCHEDULE 6 POLICY FOR RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING

The Minister will fund the student curriculum hours (SCH) associated with RPL assessments at the same rate as other forms of training delivery.

Clients may receive RPL for one qualification per semester. Where a qualification has mandated pre-requisite units of competency, RPL for these units will be funded. The RTO should package the pre-requisite units to be part of the qualification requirements.

Excessive reporting of unsuccessful RPL will be monitored and, if necessary, funding constraints may be applied to future delivery and performance agreements.

The SCH associated with the RPL assessments for any one client each semester should not exceed the SCH required for a full qualification. RPL reported for each client will be monitored and funding constraints may be applied to future delivery and performance agreements where excessive RPL has been reported for a client.

Fee-for-Service arrangements should be established where the aim of a process for RPL is to:

a) prepare school teachers to deliver VET qualifications; or

b) assess the competencies of a government employee, where those competencies form part of the government agency’s conditions of employment, or are a requirement for promotion.

To support Training WA’s goal of increasing by 33% the number of recognition of prior learning outcomes by 2012, Providers are required to:

a) nominate a single contact point for RPL referrals;

b) grow RPL delivery above the level reported in 2009; and

c) increase RPL in trade areas.

SCHEDULE 7 PROTOCOL FOR PRISON DELIVERY

In support of the National Strategy for Vocational Education and Training for Adult Prisoners and Offenders in Australia, the Department of Corrective Services (DCS) and the Department of Training and Workforce Development, in liaison with Providers, are developing a joint planning process and standard protocols for prison based delivery. The aim is to establish a framework for the provision of high standard vocational education and training for offenders in WA prisons.

As part of the on-going process of developing cooperative working arrangements between Providers and the DCS, the following protocols will apply in 2010:

• The Provider will develop planned prison delivery in consultation with DCS; • The Provider will work with DCS in the development of mutually agreed business

rules for delivery in a prison. Once agreed, these business rules will form the basis of a memorandum of understanding between the Provider and DCS;

• The Provider will keep DCS informed of the actual delivery through regular reports and meetings; and

• The Provider gives permission for the Department to release information to DCS on the Provider’s actual and planned delivery across all years associated with prisoners. Such information is not to include individual student information.

SCHEDULE 8 STATE TRAINING QUALITY COMMITTEE (STQC) FUNDING FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

This protocol provides a basis for the use and evaluation of professional development (PD) funded through the STQC program. STQC funded professional development (PD) activities must be additional to core PD activities.

The Minister will provide the STQC funding as identified in Table 4, subject to the submission of an acceptable PD Plan. The Provider will be required to repay any STQC funds that have not been spent on approved PD activities.

The purpose of these guidelines is:

• to provide information on the requirements and content of the annual PD Plan and report to be submitted to the VET Programs and Development Branch of the Department for STQC funded PD activities; and

• to ensure there is clear evidence in the reporting process that learning and development activities are producing measurable improvements in the quality of teaching, learning and assessment in TAFEWA colleges.

To ensure there is a strong focus on teaching, learning and assessment of lecturers, it will be necessary to develop strategies for the maximum number of practitioners to benefit from the funding recognising that there is a mutual responsibility for colleges to provide opportunities for PD.

Requirements

The Provider shall develop, submit and implement an annual PD Plan that: • aligns with STQC’s key directions for the current calendar year. (These directions

will be supplied by the VET Programs and Development Branch of the Department.) • demonstrates how STQC funding is providing PD opportunities over and above

existing and on-going PD. • Clearly identifies:

o programs/initiatives/projects/courses funded by STQC which will take place; o how PD activities will be organised; and o how the success of the activities will be monitored and measured with evidence

of improved teaching, learning and assessment practices.

The Provider shall submit an annual report for the calendar year that includes:

• details of the programs/ initiatives/projects/ courses funded by STQC with a demonstration of how this funding provided PD support over and above on-going PD;

• an evaluation, including performance indicators, of the effectiveness of the STQC funding support, and if appropriate a rationale for adjustments to original plan; and

• an acquittal statement of how the funds have been allocated, signed by the Managing Director, showing funds expended on the program in the annual PD Plan.

SCHEDULE 2 FUNDING: COLLEGE TRAINING PROFILE

1. Funding

a) Table 4 details the funding to be provided by the Minister for the delivery of the College Training Profile.

b) The basis of funding Advanced Skill Lecturer, Principal Lecturer and Salary Maintenance staff is listed in Table 5.

c) No funding will be provided by the Department of Treasury and Finance to cover the cost of the 27th pay that will occur in 2015. Providers should ensure that appropriate provision is made in the preceding years to cover the cost of the additional pay when it falls due.

2. Payment schedule

a) Subject to the Provider meeting all of the terms in this Agreement, the Minister will pay the Provider in fortnightly disbursements in accordance with a schedule issued by the Minister.

b) The Provider’s refund liability will be determined in the second quarter of 2011.

c) If a refund is payable, the Provider will pay the refund by the date stated on an invoice supplied by the Minister.

3. Refund

a) Where the Provider fails to meet the targets in Schedule 1, a refund will be payable to the Minister. In specific circumstances detailed below a credit may be payable to the Provider. The Total Refund is calculated as follows:

Total Refund

= Refund for EBT, Skills Shortage Institutional and General Institutional

Plus or Minus Additional Items Refund or Credit

Plus or Minus Fees Refund or Credit

Minus EBT Credit

Minus Skills Shortage Credit

The Provider is not eligible for additional funding where the EBT and Skills Shortage Credits are greater than the other refund items payable by the Provider.

The following clauses explain the components of the refund calculation.

b) The refund will be calculated separately for each of the following categories of delivery:

2010 Delivery and Performance Agreement between the Minister for Training and Workforce Development and Central West TAFE

Page 21

• EBT;

• Skills Shortage Institutional (SSI); and

• General Institutional (GI).

The Skills Shortage Matrix (Table 10) defines the Target SCH for each of these categories of delivery.

c) The refund for EBT, SSI and GI is calculated as follows:

i Reported SCH is sourced from the Provider’s final enrolment statistics data submission on an end of study basis. This is determined from the AVETMISS data collection in accordance with the following criteria:

• Fund source Id – State = 10;

• Enrolment category Id = C or S;

• Outcome identifier not 53, 54, 60 or 70; and

• Enrolment activity end date between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2010;

ii Validated SCH are determined by reducing Reported SCH by that portion of the Provider’s Invalid Enrolment (IE) rate in excess of three percent;

iii Funded SCH are determined by reducing Validated SCH for any delivery that exceeds the agreed tolerances for profile management (see below);

iv Shortfall SCH is determined by subtracting Funded SCH from Target SCH; and

v A Shortfall Refund is calculated for each category of delivery as: Shortfall SCH x Unit cost.

d) The Unit Cost for EBT delivery and IBT delivery is stated in Table 4.

e) Funded SCH for EBT is calculated by assessing the Provider’s total Validated SCH for EBT against the Provider’s total Target SCH for EBT. The following rules apply to the calculation of Funded SCH for EBT delivery:

i Where Validated SCH is greater than Target SCH, Funded SCH will be reduced to equal Target SCH. Any surplus Validated SCH for EBT delivery above the Target SCH will create an EBT Credit calculated on the Unit Cost for Employment Based Training.

ii Otherwise, Funded SCH equals Validated SCH.

f) Funded SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional is calculated by assessing the Provider’s total Validated SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional against the

2010 Delivery and Performance Agreement between the Minister for Training and Workforce Development and Central West TAFE

Page 22

Provider’s total Target SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional. The following rules apply to the calculation of Funded SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional delivery:

i Where Validated SCH is greater than Target SCH, Funded SCH will be reduced to equal Target SCH. Any surplus Validated SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional delivery above the Target SCH will create a Skills Shortage Credit calculated on the Unit Cost for Institutional Based Training.

ii Otherwise, Funded SCH equals Validated SCH.

g) Funded SCH for General Institutional is calculated by assessing the Provider’s Validated SCH for General Institutional in each Industry Group against the Target SCH for General Institutional.

h) The following General Institutional SCH are excluded from Funded SCH for General Institutional:

i Any Validated SCH above 500 SCH for an Industry Group which contains no Institutional target;

ii Any Validated SCH above the target for General Institutional training in an Industry Group that is subject to a ‘hard’ ceiling as set out in Table 6;

iii Any Validated SCH in Industry Groups without a ‘hard’ ceiling, where delivery exceeds the target for General Institutional by more than 40,000 SCH (for Industry Groups with an IBT target of greater than 200,000 SCH) or 20,000 SCH (for all other Industry Groups).

iv VET for schools IBT delivery above the level stated in Table 2;

v VET for school students IBT delivery in courses and qualifications excluded from this delivery under the protocol in Schedule 4;

vi IBT delivery to prisoners above the level stated in Table 2;

vii Any Validated SCH above the ceiling on other training in certificate I and below courses as set out in Table 2; and

viii Any Validated SCH above the sum of the ceilings on all certificate I and below courses as set out in Table 2.

i) An Additional Items Refund is calculated on each of the following:

i Funding provided for GROH housing in excess of actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider;

ii Funding provided for maintenance, minor works, equipment and the Technology Infrastructure Replacement Strategy in excess of the actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider against approved expenditures; and

2010 Delivery and Performance Agreement between the Minister for Training and Workforce Development and Central West TAFE

Page 23

iii Funding provided for any other specific projects in excess of actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider.

j) An Additional Items Credit will apply if funding provided for GROH housing is less than actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider.

k) A Fees Refund or Credit is based on:

i the funding for resource fees associated with delivery to school students compared to the funding justified against the SCH delivered in accordance with this Agreement; and

ii the funding for job seeker, RPL and childcare fee concessions compared to the cost of these concessions based on final reported enrolments.

SCHEDULE 4 PROTOCOL FOR VET IN SCHOOLS

The aim of this protocol is to ensure the most efficient and effective use of public resources in the implementation of the VET in Schools initiative. The Refund provisions in Schedule 2 identify the circumstances where a refund is payable for a breach of this protocol.

VET in Schools programs allow students studying towards the Western Australian Certificate of Education to gain a partial or complete VET qualification. Profile funded VET in Schools is a targeted program that aims to enhance existing VET in Schools delivery by providing:

• a pathway to higher level qualifications; • training that is not within the scope of registration of an RTO school; and/or • access to equipment and expertise not available in the school context. Profile funded VET in Schools consists of the School Apprenticeship Link and delivery to government and non-government schools subject to the following conditions:

School Apprenticeship Link (SAL) The School Apprenticeship Link (SAL) program supports the achievement of the Government’s targets for employment based training and school retention. The approach is aimed at increasing young people’s participation in education, employment and training and in particular in achieving a successful transition from school to an apprenticeship.

SAL is a school-based transition program delivered by a registered training organisation and available for students in Years 11 and 12. There are two SAL options in various trades; a two semester family of trades program and a three semester trade specific pre-apprenticeship.

The SAL Family of Trades model allows students to experience a range of trades within an industry to assist them in making an informed choice when selecting their apprenticeship.

The SAL pre-apprenticeship model accommodates students who are clear on the trade they want to undertake and provides for direct credit on entry into an apprenticeship. SAL pre-apprenticeships are identical to mainstream pre-apprenticeships.

SAL placements funded at each college are determined by the Department. The Department allocates funded places for both government and non-government schools. Providers must seek approval from the Department for any change in the number of SAL places.

Profile funded SAL delivery should be included in the Provider’s profile funded training and reported via AVETMISS. Student enrolments must be coded as follows:

d) participating students have demonstrated a commitment to the particular vocational program and an understanding of the requirements;

e) the training effort is consistent with: • the strategic priorities as outlined in the State Training Profile; and • Education District planning priorities.

f) VET in Schools is not to include delivery in courses or qualifications classified in the industry groups 19A to 19E. However, delivery in the following qualifications is permitted: • Certificate of Applied Vocational Study Skills (CAVSS) provided the delivery

is in accordance with the CAVSS Protocol; and • Certificate I in Leadership Development.

g) VET in Schools is not to include delivery at certificate I in the following industry groups:

16A Accounting and Other Business Services 16C Office and Clerical 17A Computing.

Reporting VET in Schools

SCHEDULE 5 SCHOOL-BASED APPRENTICESHIPS AND TRAINEESHIPS

School-based apprenticeships and traineeships provide an opportunity for full time secondary students enrolled in school to begin preparing themselves for a career. They allow students studying towards the Western Australian Certificate of Education to gain a nationally recognised vocational education and training qualification. Public funding for school-based apprenticeship and traineeship delivery: • may be utilised for the component of training delivered and assessed by the

Provider; • is available to students enrolled in both government and non-government schools; • is to be achieved within the overall bottom line employment based delivery targets

established for the Provider; and • must be in accordance with the Guidelines and Working Principles for School-based

Apprenticeships and Traineeships in Western Australia and the Apprenticeship and Traineeship Policy Guidelines.

School-based apprenticeship and traineeship delivery should be included in the Provider’s profile funded training as reported via AVETMISS. Student enrolments must be coded as follows:

Type of Student: School-based apprenticeship

Training type: A

VIS Flag*: Y

At school flag: Y

SCHEDULE 6 POLICY FOR RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING

The Minister will fund the student curriculum hours (SCH) associated with RPL assessments at the same rate as other forms of training delivery.

Clients may receive RPL for one qualification per semester. Where a qualification has mandated pre-requisite units of competency, RPL for these units will be funded. The RTO should package the pre-requisite units to be part of the qualification requirements.

Excessive reporting of unsuccessful RPL will be monitored and, if necessary, funding constraints may be applied to future delivery and performance agreements.

The SCH associated with the RPL assessments for any one client each semester should not exceed the SCH required for a full qualification. RPL reported for each client will be monitored and funding constraints may be applied to future delivery and performance agreements where excessive RPL has been reported for a client.

Fee-for-Service arrangements should be established where the aim of a process for RPL is to:

a) prepare school teachers to deliver VET qualifications; or

b) assess the competencies of a government employee, where those competencies form part of the government agency’s conditions of employment, or are a requirement for promotion.

To support Training WA’s goal of increasing by 33% the number of recognition of prior learning outcomes by 2012, Providers are required to:

a) nominate a single contact point for RPL referrals;

b) grow RPL delivery above the level reported in 2009; and

c) increase RPL in trade areas.

SCHEDULE 7 PROTOCOL FOR PRISON DELIVERY

In support of the National Strategy for Vocational Education and Training for Adult Prisoners and Offenders in Australia, the Department of Corrective Services (DCS) and the Department of Training and Workforce Development, in liaison with Providers, are developing a joint planning process and standard protocols for prison based delivery. The aim is to establish a framework for the provision of high standard vocational education and training for offenders in WA prisons.

As part of the on-going process of developing cooperative working arrangements between Providers and the DCS, the following protocols will apply in 2010:

• The Provider will develop planned prison delivery in consultation with DCS; • The Provider will work with DCS in the development of mutually agreed business

rules for delivery in a prison. Once agreed, these business rules will form the basis of a memorandum of understanding between the Provider and DCS;

• The Provider will keep DCS informed of the actual delivery through regular reports and meetings; and

• The Provider gives permission for the Department to release information to DCS on the Provider’s actual and planned delivery across all years associated with prisoners. Such information is not to include individual student information.

SCHEDULE 8 STATE TRAINING QUALITY COMMITTEE (STQC) FUNDING FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

This protocol provides a basis for the use and evaluation of professional development (PD) funded through the STQC program. STQC funded professional development (PD) activities must be additional to core PD activities.

The Minister will provide the STQC funding as identified in Table 4, subject to the submission of an acceptable PD Plan. The Provider will be required to repay any STQC funds that have not been spent on approved PD activities.

The purpose of these guidelines is:

• to provide information on the requirements and content of the annual PD Plan and report to be submitted to the VET Programs and Development Branch of the Department for STQC funded PD activities; and

• to ensure there is clear evidence in the reporting process that learning and development activities are producing measurable improvements in the quality of teaching, learning and assessment in TAFEWA colleges.

To ensure there is a strong focus on teaching, learning and assessment of lecturers, it will be necessary to develop strategies for the maximum number of practitioners to benefit from the funding recognising that there is a mutual responsibility for colleges to provide opportunities for PD.

Requirements

The Provider shall develop, submit and implement an annual PD Plan that: • aligns with STQC’s key directions for the current calendar year. (These directions

will be supplied by the VET Programs and Development Branch of the Department.) • demonstrates how STQC funding is providing PD opportunities over and above

existing and on-going PD. • Clearly identifies:

o programs/initiatives/projects/courses funded by STQC which will take place; o how PD activities will be organised; and o how the success of the activities will be monitored and measured with evidence

of improved teaching, learning and assessment practices.

The Provider shall submit an annual report for the calendar year that includes:

• details of the programs/ initiatives/projects/ courses funded by STQC with a demonstration of how this funding provided PD support over and above on-going PD;

• an evaluation, including performance indicators, of the effectiveness of the STQC funding support, and if appropriate a rationale for adjustments to original plan; and

• an acquittal statement of how the funds have been allocated, signed by the Managing Director, showing funds expended on the program in the annual PD Plan.

Timeline

Submit PD Plan Last Friday in February

Submit annual report First Friday in December

SCHEDULE 9 SUPPLEMENTARY RECURRENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

This Schedule relates to (former) Commonwealth funds, known as Supplementary Recurrent Assistance (SRA). The purpose of these funds is to assist Providers in the application of specific initiatives and support measures directed at Aboriginal enrolments, retention and performance additional to ongoing Provider activity. Application of these funds should focus on initiatives generally encapsulated by, but not limited to, the following activity areas: • advance Aboriginal VET outcomes by closely integrating effort between TAFEWA,

registered training organisations and non-government organisations;

• improve access for adult learners to bridging and work readiness courses; • increase participation by Aboriginal people in AQF certificate III and above industry

recognised training; • improve access to higher levels of training in regional and remote locations (where

applicable); • deliver culturally inclusive, flexible and place-based training, customised to meet the

specific needs of local communities; • strengthen training to employment outcomes for Aboriginal people; • increase the use of recognition of prior learning to create more pathways to

advance the training and career opportunities of Aboriginal people; • increase the participation of Aboriginal adult learners in life long learning programs

that enhance life skills, community participation and employability; • case-manage and mentor Aboriginal trainees to link them to employment services; • develop strategies that address adult literacy and numeracy and re-entry into further

education and training; • introduce a case management approach for identified students and improve

interagency partnerships; • provide cultural awareness professional learning for all staff; • ensure Aboriginal representation on the Provider’s key strategic committees and

build relationships that empower Aboriginal people to participate in learning.

Aboriginal Training Plan (ATP) To enable effective contribution towards achievement across the above activity areas and to address priorities outlined in Training WA: Planning for the Future 2009 - 2018, the Training Provider must prepare an Aboriginal Training Plan for 2010. The format of the Plan may be consistent with previous years and/or the Provider’s current approach. The Plan must be endorsed by the Provider’s local Aboriginal Education, Employment and Training Committee (AEETC) and is to be made available upon request, to the Department.

Aboriginal Education Employment and Training Committee (AEETC) The Provider shall ensure that a local and viable AEETC is in place to advise, plan, monitor and exchange information relating to the implementation of initiatives and strategies as detailed within the ATP, to achieve outcomes against the activities listed in this schedule.

SCHEDULE 2 FUNDING: COLLEGE TRAINING PROFILE

1. Funding

a) Table 4 details the funding to be provided by the Minister for the delivery of the College Training Profile.

b) The basis of funding Advanced Skill Lecturer, Principal Lecturer and Salary Maintenance staff is listed in Table 5.

c) No funding will be provided by the Department of Treasury and Finance to cover the cost of the 27th pay that will occur in 2015. Providers should ensure that appropriate provision is made in the preceding years to cover the cost of the additional pay when it falls due.

2. Payment schedule

a) Subject to the Provider meeting all of the terms in this Agreement, the Minister will pay the Provider in fortnightly disbursements in accordance with a schedule issued by the Minister.

b) The Provider’s refund liability will be determined in the second quarter of 2011.

c) If a refund is payable, the Provider will pay the refund by the date stated on an invoice supplied by the Minister.

3. Refund

a) Where the Provider fails to meet the targets in Schedule 1, a refund will be payable to the Minister. In specific circumstances detailed below a credit may be payable to the Provider. The Total Refund is calculated as follows:

Total Refund

= Refund for EBT, Skills Shortage Institutional and General Institutional

Plus or Minus Additional Items Refund or Credit

Plus or Minus Fees Refund or Credit

Minus EBT Credit

Minus Skills Shortage Credit

The Provider is not eligible for additional funding where the EBT and Skills Shortage Credits are greater than the other refund items payable by the Provider.

The following clauses explain the components of the refund calculation.

b) The refund will be calculated separately for each of the following categories of delivery:

2010 Delivery and Performance Agreement between the Minister for Training and Workforce Development and Challenger Institute of Technology

Page 21

• EBT;

• Skills Shortage Institutional (SSI); and

• General Institutional (GI).

The Skills Shortage Matrix (Table 10) defines the Target SCH for each of these categories of delivery.

c) The refund for EBT, SSI and GI is calculated as follows:

i Reported SCH is sourced from the Provider’s final enrolment statistics data submission on an end of study basis. This is determined from the AVETMISS data collection in accordance with the following criteria:

• Fund source Id – State = 10;

• Enrolment category Id = C or S;

• Outcome identifier not 53, 54, 60 or 70; and

• Enrolment activity end date between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2010;

ii Validated SCH are determined by reducing Reported SCH by that portion of the Provider’s Invalid Enrolment (IE) rate in excess of three percent;

iii Funded SCH are determined by reducing Validated SCH for any delivery that exceeds the agreed tolerances for profile management (see below);

iv Shortfall SCH is determined by subtracting Funded SCH from Target SCH; and

v A Shortfall Refund is calculated for each category of delivery as: Shortfall SCH x Unit cost.

d) The Unit Cost for EBT delivery and IBT delivery is stated in Table 4.

e) Funded SCH for EBT is calculated by assessing the Provider’s total Validated SCH for EBT against the Provider’s total Target SCH for EBT. The following rules apply to the calculation of Funded SCH for EBT delivery:

i Where Validated SCH is greater than Target SCH, Funded SCH will be reduced to equal Target SCH. Any surplus Validated SCH for EBT delivery above the Target SCH will create an EBT Credit calculated on the Unit Cost for Employment Based Training.

ii Otherwise, Funded SCH equals Validated SCH.

f) Funded SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional is calculated by assessing the Provider’s total Validated SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional against the

2010 Delivery and Performance Agreement between the Minister for Training and Workforce Development and Challenger Institute of Technology

Page 22

Provider’s total Target SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional. The following rules apply to the calculation of Funded SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional delivery:

i Where Validated SCH is greater than Target SCH, Funded SCH will be reduced to equal Target SCH. Any surplus Validated SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional delivery above the Target SCH will create a Skills Shortage Credit calculated on the Unit Cost for Institutional Based Training.

ii Otherwise, Funded SCH equals Validated SCH.

g) Funded SCH for General Institutional is calculated by assessing the Provider’s Validated SCH for General Institutional in each Industry Group against the Target SCH for General Institutional.

h) The following General Institutional SCH are excluded from Funded SCH for General Institutional:

i Any Validated SCH above 500 SCH for an Industry Group which contains no Institutional target;

ii Any Validated SCH above the target for General Institutional training in an Industry Group that is subject to a ‘hard’ ceiling as set out in Table 6;

iii Any Validated SCH in Industry Groups without a ‘hard’ ceiling, where delivery exceeds the target for General Institutional by more than 40,000 SCH (for Industry Groups with an IBT target of greater than 200,000 SCH) or 20,000 SCH (for all other Industry Groups).

iv VET for schools IBT delivery above the level stated in Table 2;

v VET for school students IBT delivery in courses and qualifications excluded from this delivery under the protocol in Schedule 4;

vi IBT delivery to prisoners above the level stated in Table 2;

vii Any Validated SCH above the ceiling on other training in certificate I and below courses as set out in Table 2; and

viii Any Validated SCH above the sum of the ceilings on all certificate I and below courses as set out in Table 2.

i) An Additional Items Refund is calculated on each of the following:

i Funding provided for GROH housing in excess of actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider;

ii Funding provided for maintenance, minor works, equipment and the Technology Infrastructure Replacement Strategy in excess of the actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider against approved expenditures; and

2010 Delivery and Performance Agreement between the Minister for Training and Workforce Development and Challenger Institute of Technology

Page 23

iii Funding provided for any other specific projects in excess of actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider.

j) An Additional Items Credit will apply if funding provided for GROH housing is less than actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider.

k) A Fees Refund or Credit is based on:

i the funding for resource fees associated with delivery to school students compared to the funding justified against the SCH delivered in accordance with this Agreement; and

ii the funding for job seeker, RPL and childcare fee concessions compared to the cost of these concessions based on final reported enrolments.

SCHEDULE 4 PROTOCOL FOR VET IN SCHOOLS

The aim of this protocol is to ensure the most efficient and effective use of public resources in the implementation of the VET in Schools initiative. The Refund provisions in Schedule 2 identify the circumstances where a refund is payable for a breach of this protocol.

VET in Schools programs allow students studying towards the Western Australian Certificate of Education to gain a partial or complete VET qualification. Profile funded VET in Schools is a targeted program that aims to enhance existing VET in Schools delivery by providing:

• a pathway to higher level qualifications; • training that is not within the scope of registration of an RTO school; and/or • access to equipment and expertise not available in the school context. Profile funded VET in Schools consists of the School Apprenticeship Link and delivery to government and non-government schools subject to the following conditions:

School Apprenticeship Link (SAL) The School Apprenticeship Link (SAL) program supports the achievement of the Government’s targets for employment based training and school retention. The approach is aimed at increasing young people’s participation in education, employment and training and in particular in achieving a successful transition from school to an apprenticeship.

SAL is a school-based transition program delivered by a registered training organisation and available for students in Years 11 and 12. There are two SAL options in various trades; a two semester family of trades program and a three semester trade specific pre-apprenticeship.

The SAL Family of Trades model allows students to experience a range of trades within an industry to assist them in making an informed choice when selecting their apprenticeship.

The SAL pre-apprenticeship model accommodates students who are clear on the trade they want to undertake and provides for direct credit on entry into an apprenticeship. SAL pre-apprenticeships are identical to mainstream pre-apprenticeships.

SAL placements funded at each college are determined by the Department. The Department allocates funded places for both government and non-government schools. Providers must seek approval from the Department for any change in the number of SAL places.

Profile funded SAL delivery should be included in the Provider’s profile funded training and reported via AVETMISS. Student enrolments must be coded as follows:

SCHEDULE 6 POLICY FOR RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING

The Minister will fund the student curriculum hours (SCH) associated with RPL assessments at the same rate as other forms of training delivery.

Clients may receive RPL for one qualification per semester. Where a qualification has mandated pre-requisite units of competency, RPL for these units will be funded. The RTO should package the pre-requisite units to be part of the qualification requirements.

Excessive reporting of unsuccessful RPL will be monitored and, if necessary, funding constraints may be applied to future delivery and performance agreements.

The SCH associated with the RPL assessments for any one client each semester should not exceed the SCH required for a full qualification. RPL reported for each client will be monitored and funding constraints may be applied to future delivery and performance agreements where excessive RPL has been reported for a client.

Fee-for-Service arrangements should be established where the aim of a process for RPL is to:

a) prepare school teachers to deliver VET qualifications; or

b) assess the competencies of a government employee, where those competencies form part of the government agency’s conditions of employment, or are a requirement for promotion.

To support Training WA’s goal of increasing by 33% the number of recognition of prior learning outcomes by 2012, Providers are required to:

a) nominate a single contact point for RPL referrals;

b) grow RPL delivery above the level reported in 2009; and

c) increase RPL in trade areas.

SCHEDULE 7 PROTOCOL FOR PRISON DELIVERY

In support of the National Strategy for Vocational Education and Training for Adult Prisoners and Offenders in Australia, the Department of Corrective Services (DCS) and the Department of Training and Workforce Development, in liaison with Providers, are developing a joint planning process and standard protocols for prison based delivery. The aim is to establish a framework for the provision of high standard vocational education and training for offenders in WA prisons.

As part of the on-going process of developing cooperative working arrangements between Providers and the DCS, the following protocols will apply in 2010:

• The Provider will develop planned prison delivery in consultation with DCS; • The Provider will work with DCS in the development of mutually agreed business

rules for delivery in a prison. Once agreed, these business rules will form the basis of a memorandum of understanding between the Provider and DCS;

• The Provider will keep DCS informed of the actual delivery through regular reports and meetings; and

• The Provider gives permission for the Department to release information to DCS on the Provider’s actual and planned delivery across all years associated with prisoners. Such information is not to include individual student information.

SCHEDULE 8 STATE TRAINING QUALITY COMMITTEE (STQC) FUNDING FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

This protocol provides a basis for the use and evaluation of professional development (PD) funded through the STQC program. STQC funded professional development (PD) activities must be additional to core PD activities.

The Minister will provide the STQC funding as identified in Table 4, subject to the submission of an acceptable PD Plan. The Provider will be required to repay any STQC funds that have not been spent on approved PD activities.

The purpose of these guidelines is:

• to provide information on the requirements and content of the annual PD Plan and report to be submitted to the VET Programs and Development Branch of the Department for STQC funded PD activities; and

• to ensure there is clear evidence in the reporting process that learning and development activities are producing measurable improvements in the quality of teaching, learning and assessment in TAFEWA colleges.

To ensure there is a strong focus on teaching, learning and assessment of lecturers, it will be necessary to develop strategies for the maximum number of practitioners to benefit from the funding recognising that there is a mutual responsibility for colleges to provide opportunities for PD.

Requirements

The Provider shall develop, submit and implement an annual PD Plan that: • aligns with STQC’s key directions for the current calendar year. (These directions

will be supplied by the VET Programs and Development Branch of the Department.) • demonstrates how STQC funding is providing PD opportunities over and above

existing and on-going PD. • Clearly identifies:

o programs/initiatives/projects/courses funded by STQC which will take place; o how PD activities will be organised; and o how the success of the activities will be monitored and measured with evidence

of improved teaching, learning and assessment practices.

The Provider shall submit an annual report for the calendar year that includes:

• details of the programs/ initiatives/projects/ courses funded by STQC with a demonstration of how this funding provided PD support over and above on-going PD;

• an evaluation, including performance indicators, of the effectiveness of the STQC funding support, and if appropriate a rationale for adjustments to original plan; and

• an acquittal statement of how the funds have been allocated, signed by the Managing Director, showing funds expended on the program in the annual PD Plan.

Timeline

Submit PD Plan Last Friday in February

Submit annual report First Friday in December

c) plural words include the singular and vice versa; and

d) the following terms have specific meanings assigned to them:

“Aboriginal” In describing the first Australians, the terms Aboriginal; Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander; and Indigenous are used interchangeably to maintain accuracy with respect to other preceding documents and initiatives, and the term Aboriginal, more broadly used here, should be taken to mean Aboriginal; Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander; and Indigenous peoples.

“Acquittal Certificate” means a document, issued by the Provider, confirming that both the Minister and the Provider have met all of the terms of this Agreement.

“Agreement” means this document, including any Schedules and Variations.

“Employment based training” or “EBT” means training delivered to an apprentice or trainee.

“End of Study reporting” means the reporting of module and unit enrolments that end in the collection year and therefore have finalised outcomes.

“Enrolment” means participation of a student with a registered training organisation in learning and/or assessment against a unit of competency. A complete definition is available in the Western Australia VET Enrolment Data Standard.

2010 Delivery and Performance Agreement between the Minister for Training and Workforce Development and Curtin University of Technology

Page 4

“General Institutional” or “GI” means institutional based training in areas other than Skills Shortage Areas.

A unit of competency refers to a discrete workplace requirement and includes the knowledge and skills that underpin competency as well as language, literacy and numeracy; and occupational health and safety requirements. For the purpose of reporting training delivery under this Agreement, modules and units of competency shall be treated as similar entities.

“VET” means vocational education and training.

“VET Level” is a classification, determined by the Minister, which separates traineeships and apprenticeships (employment based training) from other delivery (institutional based training) and sub-divides the latter on the basis of Australian Qualification Framework levels.

SCHEDULE 2 FUNDING: COLLEGE TRAINING PROFILE

1. Funding

a) Table 4 details the funding to be provided by the Minister for the delivery of the College Training Profile.

b) The basis of funding Advanced Skill Lecturer, Principal Lecturer and Salary Maintenance staff is listed in Table 5.

c) No funding will be provided by the Department of Treasury and Finance to cover the cost of the 27th pay that will occur in 2015. Providers should ensure that appropriate provision is made in the preceding years to cover the cost of the additional pay when it falls due.

2. Payment schedule

a) Subject to the Provider meeting all of the terms in this Agreement, the Minister will pay the Provider in fortnightly disbursements in accordance with a schedule issued by the Minister.

b) The Provider’s refund liability will be determined in the second quarter of 2011.

c) If a refund is payable, the Provider will pay the refund by the date stated on an invoice supplied by the Minister.

3. Refund

a) Where the Provider fails to meet the targets in Schedule 1, a refund will be payable to the Minister. In specific circumstances detailed below a credit may be payable to the Provider. The Total Refund is calculated as follows:

Total Refund

= Refund for EBT, Skills Shortage Institutional and General Institutional

Plus or Minus Additional Items Refund or Credit

Plus or Minus Fees Refund or Credit

Minus EBT Credit

Minus Skills Shortage Credit

The Provider is not eligible for additional funding where the EBT and Skills Shortage Credits are greater than the other refund items payable by the Provider.

The following clauses explain the components of the refund calculation.

b) The refund will be calculated separately for each of the following categories of delivery:

2010 Delivery and Performance Agreement between the Minister for Training and Workforce Development and Curtin University of Technology

Page 21

• EBT;

• Skills Shortage Institutional (SSI); and

• General Institutional (GI).

The Skills Shortage Matrix (Table 10) defines the Target SCH for each of these categories of delivery.

c) The refund for EBT, SSI and GI is calculated as follows:

i Reported SCH is sourced from the Provider’s final enrolment statistics data submission on an end of study basis. This is determined from the AVETMISS data collection in accordance with the following criteria:

• Fund source Id – State = 10;

• Enrolment category Id = C or S;

• Outcome identifier not 53, 54, 60 or 70; and

• Enrolment activity end date between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2010;

ii Validated SCH are determined by reducing Reported SCH by that portion of the Provider’s Invalid Enrolment (IE) rate in excess of three percent;

iii Funded SCH are determined by reducing Validated SCH for any delivery that exceeds the agreed tolerances for profile management (see below);

iv Shortfall SCH is determined by subtracting Funded SCH from Target SCH; and

v A Shortfall Refund is calculated for each category of delivery as: Shortfall SCH x Unit cost.

d) The Unit Cost for EBT delivery and IBT delivery is stated in Table 4.

e) Funded SCH for EBT is calculated by assessing the Provider’s total Validated SCH for EBT against the Provider’s total Target SCH for EBT. The following rules apply to the calculation of Funded SCH for EBT delivery:

i Where Validated SCH is greater than Target SCH, Funded SCH will be reduced to equal Target SCH. Any surplus Validated SCH for EBT delivery above the Target SCH will create an EBT Credit calculated on the Unit Cost for Employment Based Training.

ii Otherwise, Funded SCH equals Validated SCH.

f) Funded SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional is calculated by assessing the Provider’s total Validated SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional against the

2010 Delivery and Performance Agreement between the Minister for Training and Workforce Development and Curtin University of Technology

Page 22

Provider’s total Target SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional. The following rules apply to the calculation of Funded SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional delivery:

i Where Validated SCH is greater than Target SCH, Funded SCH will be reduced to equal Target SCH. Any surplus Validated SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional delivery above the Target SCH will create a Skills Shortage Credit calculated on the Unit Cost for Institutional Based Training.

ii Otherwise, Funded SCH equals Validated SCH.

g) Funded SCH for General Institutional is calculated by assessing the Provider’s Validated SCH for General Institutional in each Industry Group against the Target SCH for General Institutional.

h) The following General Institutional SCH are excluded from Funded SCH for General Institutional:

i Any Validated SCH above 500 SCH for an Industry Group which contains no Institutional target;

ii Any Validated SCH above the target for General Institutional training in an Industry Group that is subject to a ‘hard’ ceiling as set out in Table 6;

iii Any Validated SCH in Industry Groups without a ‘hard’ ceiling, where delivery exceeds the target for General Institutional by more than 40,000 SCH (for Industry Groups with an IBT target of greater than 200,000 SCH) or 20,000 SCH (for all other Industry Groups).

iv VET for schools IBT delivery above the level stated in Table 2;

v VET for school students IBT delivery in courses and qualifications excluded from this delivery under the protocol in Schedule 4;

vi IBT delivery to prisoners above the level stated in Table 2;

vii Any Validated SCH above the ceiling on other training in certificate I and below courses as set out in Table 2; and

viii Any Validated SCH above the sum of the ceilings on all certificate I and below courses as set out in Table 2.

i) An Additional Items Refund is calculated on each of the following:

i Funding provided for GROH housing in excess of actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider;

ii Funding provided for maintenance, minor works, equipment and the Technology Infrastructure Replacement Strategy in excess of the actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider against approved expenditures; and

2010 Delivery and Performance Agreement between the Minister for Training and Workforce Development and Curtin University of Technology

Page 23

iii Funding provided for any other specific projects in excess of actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider.

j) An Additional Items Credit will apply if funding provided for GROH housing is less than actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider.

k) A Fees Refund or Credit is based on:

i the funding for resource fees associated with delivery to school students compared to the funding justified against the SCH delivered in accordance with this Agreement; and

ii the funding for job seeker, RPL and childcare fee concessions compared to the cost of these concessions based on final reported enrolments.

SCHEDULE 4 PROTOCOL FOR VET IN SCHOOLS

The aim of this protocol is to ensure the most efficient and effective use of public resources in the implementation of the VET in Schools initiative. The Refund provisions in Schedule 2 identify the circumstances where a refund is payable for a breach of this protocol.

VET in Schools programs allow students studying towards the Western Australian Certificate of Education to gain a partial or complete VET qualification. Profile funded VET in Schools is a targeted program that aims to enhance existing VET in Schools delivery by providing:

• a pathway to higher level qualifications; • training that is not within the scope of registration of an RTO school; and/or • access to equipment and expertise not available in the school context. Profile funded VET in Schools consists of the School Apprenticeship Link and delivery to government and non-government schools subject to the following conditions:

School Apprenticeship Link (SAL) The School Apprenticeship Link (SAL) program supports the achievement of the Government’s targets for employment based training and school retention. The approach is aimed at increasing young people’s participation in education, employment and training and in particular in achieving a successful transition from school to an apprenticeship.

SAL is a school-based transition program delivered by a registered training organisation and available for students in Years 11 and 12. There are two SAL options in various trades; a two semester family of trades program and a three semester trade specific pre-apprenticeship.

The SAL Family of Trades model allows students to experience a range of trades within an industry to assist them in making an informed choice when selecting their apprenticeship.

The SAL pre-apprenticeship model accommodates students who are clear on the trade they want to undertake and provides for direct credit on entry into an apprenticeship. SAL pre-apprenticeships are identical to mainstream pre-apprenticeships.

SAL placements funded at each college are determined by the Department. The Department allocates funded places for both government and non-government schools. Providers must seek approval from the Department for any change in the number of SAL places.

Profile funded SAL delivery should be included in the Provider’s profile funded training and reported via AVETMISS. Student enrolments must be coded as follows:

The Minister will fund the student curriculum hours (SCH) associated with RPL assessments at the same rate as other forms of training delivery.

Clients may receive RPL for one qualification per semester. Where a qualification has mandated pre-requisite units of competency, RPL for these units will be funded. The RTO should package the pre-requisite units to be part of the qualification requirements.

Excessive reporting of unsuccessful RPL will be monitored and, if necessary, funding constraints may be applied to future delivery and performance agreements.

The SCH associated with the RPL assessments for any one client each semester should not exceed the SCH required for a full qualification. RPL reported for each client will be monitored and funding constraints may be applied to future delivery and performance agreements where excessive RPL has been reported for a client.

Fee-for-Service arrangements should be established where the aim of a process for RPL is to:

a) prepare school teachers to deliver VET qualifications; or

b) assess the competencies of a government employee, where those competencies form part of the government agency’s conditions of employment, or are a requirement for promotion.

To support Training WA’s goal of increasing by 33% the number of recognition of prior learning outcomes by 2012, Providers are required to:

a) nominate a single contact point for RPL referrals;

b) grow RPL delivery above the level reported in 2009; and

c) increase RPL in trade areas.

SCHEDULE 7 PROTOCOL FOR PRISON DELIVERY

In support of the National Strategy for Vocational Education and Training for Adult Prisoners and Offenders in Australia, the Department of Corrective Services (DCS) and the Department of Training and Workforce Development, in liaison with Providers, are developing a joint planning process and standard protocols for prison based delivery. The aim is to establish a framework for the provision of high standard vocational education and training for offenders in WA prisons.

As part of the on-going process of developing cooperative working arrangements between Providers and the DCS, the following protocols will apply in 2010:

• The Provider will develop planned prison delivery in consultation with DCS; • The Provider will work with DCS in the development of mutually agreed business

rules for delivery in a prison. Once agreed, these business rules will form the basis of a memorandum of understanding between the Provider and DCS;

• The Provider will keep DCS informed of the actual delivery through regular reports and meetings; and

• The Provider gives permission for the Department to release information to DCS on the Provider’s actual and planned delivery across all years associated with prisoners. Such information is not to include individual student information.

SCHEDULE 8 STATE TRAINING QUALITY COMMITTEE (STQC) FUNDING FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

This protocol provides a basis for the use and evaluation of professional development (PD) funded through the STQC program. STQC funded professional development (PD) activities must be additional to core PD activities.

The Minister will provide the STQC funding as identified in Table 4, subject to the submission of an acceptable PD Plan. The Provider will be required to repay any STQC funds that have not been spent on approved PD activities.

The purpose of these guidelines is:

• to provide information on the requirements and content of the annual PD Plan and report to be submitted to the VET Programs and Development Branch of the Department for STQC funded PD activities; and

• to ensure there is clear evidence in the reporting process that learning and development activities are producing measurable improvements in the quality of teaching, learning and assessment in TAFEWA colleges.

To ensure there is a strong focus on teaching, learning and assessment of lecturers, it will be necessary to develop strategies for the maximum number of practitioners to benefit from the funding recognising that there is a mutual responsibility for colleges to provide opportunities for PD.

Requirements

The Provider shall develop, submit and implement an annual PD Plan that: • aligns with STQC’s key directions for the current calendar year. (These directions

will be supplied by the VET Programs and Development Branch of the Department.) • demonstrates how STQC funding is providing PD opportunities over and above

existing and on-going PD. • Clearly identifies:

o programs/initiatives/projects/courses funded by STQC which will take place; o how PD activities will be organised; and o how the success of the activities will be monitored and measured with evidence

of improved teaching, learning and assessment practices.

The Provider shall submit an annual report for the calendar year that includes:

• details of the programs/ initiatives/projects/ courses funded by STQC with a demonstration of how this funding provided PD support over and above on-going PD;

• an evaluation, including performance indicators, of the effectiveness of the STQC funding support, and if appropriate a rationale for adjustments to original plan; and

• an acquittal statement of how the funds have been allocated, signed by the Managing Director, showing funds expended on the program in the annual PD Plan.

Timeline

Submit PD Plan Last Friday in February

Submit annual report First Friday in December

SCHEDULE 9 SUPPLEMENTARY RECURRENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

This Schedule relates to (former) Commonwealth funds, known as Supplementary Recurrent Assistance (SRA). The purpose of these funds is to assist Providers in the application of specific initiatives and support measures directed at Aboriginal enrolments, retention and performance additional to ongoing Provider activity. Application of these funds should focus on initiatives generally encapsulated by, but not limited to, the following activity areas: • advance Aboriginal VET outcomes by closely integrating effort between TAFEWA,

registered training organisations and non-government organisations;

• improve access for adult learners to bridging and work readiness courses; • increase participation by Aboriginal people in AQF certificate III and above industry

recognised training; • improve access to higher levels of training in regional and remote locations (where

applicable); • deliver culturally inclusive, flexible and place-based training, customised to meet the

specific needs of local communities; • strengthen training to employment outcomes for Aboriginal people; • increase the use of recognition of prior learning to create more pathways to

advance the training and career opportunities of Aboriginal people; • increase the participation of Aboriginal adult learners in life long learning programs

that enhance life skills, community participation and employability; • case-manage and mentor Aboriginal trainees to link them to employment services; • develop strategies that address adult literacy and numeracy and re-entry into further

education and training; • introduce a case management approach for identified students and improve

interagency partnerships; • provide cultural awareness professional learning for all staff; • ensure Aboriginal representation on the Provider’s key strategic committees and

build relationships that empower Aboriginal people to participate in learning.

Aboriginal Training Plan (ATP) To enable effective contribution towards achievement across the above activity areas and to address priorities outlined in Training WA: Planning for the Future 2009 - 2018, the Training Provider must prepare an Aboriginal Training Plan for 2010. The format of the Plan may be consistent with previous years and/or the Provider’s current approach. The Plan must be endorsed by the Provider’s local Aboriginal Education, Employment and Training Committee (AEETC) and is to be made available upon request, to the Department.

Aboriginal Education Employment and Training Committee (AEETC) The Provider shall ensure that a local and viable AEETC is in place to advise, plan, monitor and exchange information relating to the implementation of initiatives and strategies as detailed within the ATP, to achieve outcomes against the activities listed in this schedule. Composition of AEETCs must include Aboriginal people, with membership drawn from the Provider and the Aboriginal community. The AEETC must meet a minimum of four times per year.

The program must be delivered in accordance with the following requirements:

1. The aim of the program is to provide tutorial assistance to students who are enrolled in a course of study that will lead to attainment of a certificate III or above qualification. Students may also be assisted whilst studying for a certificate I or II qualification, only if those units are being undertaken as prerequisite work, and are part of a course of study leading to the attainment of a certificate III or above qualification.

2. The maximum hours of tuition available to students participating in the scheme will be three (3) hours per week and depending on local circumstances the scheme can be applied to satisfy individual needs through “cluster group” arrangements.

3. The Provider is to establish arrangements and processes that allow for ready access to a range of potential tutors and to provide appropriate training/instruction for tutors as required.

4. Application of the Scheme should be consistent with the College Aboriginal Training Plan (ATP).

5. Each incident of utilisation of the program will be endorsed by the College Aboriginal “Support Unit” or its equivalent.

6. The Provider is required to determine tutor rates of pay commensurate with experience and qualifications of the tutor and the tuition is to be supplementary to mainstream teaching efforts and can not be used to substitute or replace such efforts.

7. The Provider is to customise delivery of tuition to obtain optimal benefits for individual students.

8. The services will be delivered within the term of this Agreement stated in Section 3.

9. Tutors must be 18 years of age or older with suitable qualifications or have relevant experience to provide the required tuition.

SECTION III TRAINING DELIVERY

7. Student Service Standards

a) For the Training Services described in Schedule 1, the Provider:

i will ensure that students are given appropriate guidance in relation to the selection of units of competency that meet the student’s expected outcomes from the program of study;

ii will ensure that training delivery is consistent with training package guidelines, including meeting the criteria for the awarding of qualifications;

iii will ensure that the level of resources, including the actual hours of instruction or other supervised learning modes, that is provided to students reflects the content of the program of study and allows for a successful outcome; and

iv will ensure students enrolling in a course of study outside the normal full-time admissions process comply with the minimum entrance requirements policy.

8. Training Packages

a) Unless otherwise agreed:

i where a training package has been approved for public funding in Western Australia, and

SCHEDULE 2 FUNDING: COLLEGE TRAINING PROFILE

1. Funding

a) Table 4 details the funding to be provided by the Minister for the delivery of the College Training Profile.

b) The basis of funding Advanced Skill Lecturer, Principal Lecturer and Salary Maintenance staff is listed in Table 5.

c) No funding will be provided by the Department of Treasury and Finance to cover the cost of the 27th pay that will occur in 2015. Providers should ensure that appropriate provision is made in the preceding years to cover the cost of the additional pay when it falls due.

2. Payment schedule

a) Subject to the Provider meeting all of the terms in this Agreement, the Minister will pay the Provider in fortnightly disbursements in accordance with a schedule issued by the Minister.

b) The Provider’s refund liability will be determined in the second quarter of 2011.

c) If a refund is payable, the Provider will pay the refund by the date stated on an invoice supplied by the Minister.

3. Refund

a) Where the Provider fails to meet the targets in Schedule 1, a refund will be payable to the Minister. In specific circumstances detailed below a credit may be payable to the Provider. The Total Refund is calculated as follows:

Total Refund

= Refund for EBT, Skills Shortage Institutional and General Institutional

Plus or Minus Additional Items Refund or Credit

Plus or Minus Fees Refund or Credit

Minus EBT Credit

Minus Skills Shortage Credit

The Provider is not eligible for additional funding where the EBT and Skills Shortage Credits are greater than the other refund items payable by the Provider.

The following clauses explain the components of the refund calculation.

b) The refund will be calculated separately for each of the following categories of delivery:

2010 Delivery and Performance Agreement between the Minister for Training and Workforce Development and CY O'Connor TAFE

Page 21

• EBT;

• Skills Shortage Institutional (SSI); and

• General Institutional (GI).

The Skills Shortage Matrix (Table 10) defines the Target SCH for each of these categories of delivery.

c) The refund for EBT, SSI and GI is calculated as follows:

i Reported SCH is sourced from the Provider’s final enrolment statistics data submission on an end of study basis. This is determined from the AVETMISS data collection in accordance with the following criteria:

• Fund source Id – State = 10;

• Enrolment category Id = C or S;

• Outcome identifier not 53, 54, 60 or 70; and

• Enrolment activity end date between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2010;

ii Validated SCH are determined by reducing Reported SCH by that portion of the Provider’s Invalid Enrolment (IE) rate in excess of three percent;

iii Funded SCH are determined by reducing Validated SCH for any delivery that exceeds the agreed tolerances for profile management (see below);

iv Shortfall SCH is determined by subtracting Funded SCH from Target SCH; and

v A Shortfall Refund is calculated for each category of delivery as: Shortfall SCH x Unit cost.

d) The Unit Cost for EBT delivery and IBT delivery is stated in Table 4.

e) Funded SCH for EBT is calculated by assessing the Provider’s total Validated SCH for EBT against the Provider’s total Target SCH for EBT. The following rules apply to the calculation of Funded SCH for EBT delivery:

i Where Validated SCH is greater than Target SCH, Funded SCH will be reduced to equal Target SCH. Any surplus Validated SCH for EBT delivery above the Target SCH will create an EBT Credit calculated on the Unit Cost for Employment Based Training.

ii Otherwise, Funded SCH equals Validated SCH.

f) Funded SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional is calculated by assessing the Provider’s total Validated SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional against the

2010 Delivery and Performance Agreement between the Minister for Training and Workforce Development and CY O'Connor TAFE

Page 22

Provider’s total Target SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional. The following rules apply to the calculation of Funded SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional delivery:

i Where Validated SCH is greater than Target SCH, Funded SCH will be reduced to equal Target SCH. Any surplus Validated SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional delivery above the Target SCH will create a Skills Shortage Credit calculated on the Unit Cost for Institutional Based Training.

ii Otherwise, Funded SCH equals Validated SCH.

g) Funded SCH for General Institutional is calculated by assessing the Provider’s Validated SCH for General Institutional in each Industry Group against the Target SCH for General Institutional.

h) The following General Institutional SCH are excluded from Funded SCH for General Institutional:

i Any Validated SCH above 500 SCH for an Industry Group which contains no Institutional target;

ii Any Validated SCH above the target for General Institutional training in an Industry Group that is subject to a ‘hard’ ceiling as set out in Table 6;

iii Any Validated SCH in Industry Groups without a ‘hard’ ceiling, where delivery exceeds the target for General Institutional by more than 40,000 SCH (for Industry Groups with an IBT target of greater than 200,000 SCH) or 20,000 SCH (for all other Industry Groups).

iv VET for schools IBT delivery above the level stated in Table 2;

v VET for school students IBT delivery in courses and qualifications excluded from this delivery under the protocol in Schedule 4;

vi IBT delivery to prisoners above the level stated in Table 2;

vii Any Validated SCH above the ceiling on other training in certificate I and below courses as set out in Table 2; and

viii Any Validated SCH above the sum of the ceilings on all certificate I and below courses as set out in Table 2.

i) An Additional Items Refund is calculated on each of the following:

i Funding provided for GROH housing in excess of actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider;

ii Funding provided for maintenance, minor works, equipment and the Technology Infrastructure Replacement Strategy in excess of the actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider against approved expenditures; and

2010 Delivery and Performance Agreement between the Minister for Training and Workforce Development and CY O'Connor TAFE

Page 23

iii Funding provided for any other specific projects in excess of actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider.

j) An Additional Items Credit will apply if funding provided for GROH housing is less than actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider.

k) A Fees Refund or Credit is based on:

i the funding for resource fees associated with delivery to school students compared to the funding justified against the SCH delivered in accordance with this Agreement; and

ii the funding for job seeker, RPL and childcare fee concessions compared to the cost of these concessions based on final reported enrolments.

SCHEDULE 4 PROTOCOL FOR VET IN SCHOOLS

The aim of this protocol is to ensure the most efficient and effective use of public resources in the implementation of the VET in Schools initiative. The Refund provisions in Schedule 2 identify the circumstances where a refund is payable for a breach of this protocol.

VET in Schools programs allow students studying towards the Western Australian Certificate of Education to gain a partial or complete VET qualification. Profile funded VET in Schools is a targeted program that aims to enhance existing VET in Schools delivery by providing:

• a pathway to higher level qualifications; • training that is not within the scope of registration of an RTO school; and/or • access to equipment and expertise not available in the school context. Profile funded VET in Schools consists of the School Apprenticeship Link and delivery to government and non-government schools subject to the following conditions:

School Apprenticeship Link (SAL) The School Apprenticeship Link (SAL) program supports the achievement of the Government’s targets for employment based training and school retention. The approach is aimed at increasing young people’s participation in education, employment and training and in particular in achieving a successful transition from school to an apprenticeship.

SAL is a school-based transition program delivered by a registered training organisation and available for students in Years 11 and 12. There are two SAL options in various trades; a two semester family of trades program and a three semester trade specific pre-apprenticeship.

The SAL Family of Trades model allows students to experience a range of trades within an industry to assist them in making an informed choice when selecting their apprenticeship.

The SAL pre-apprenticeship model accommodates students who are clear on the trade they want to undertake and provides for direct credit on entry into an apprenticeship. SAL pre-apprenticeships are identical to mainstream pre-apprenticeships.

SAL placements funded at each college are determined by the Department. The Department allocates funded places for both government and non-government schools. Providers must seek approval from the Department for any change in the number of SAL places.

Profile funded SAL delivery should be included in the Provider’s profile funded training and reported via AVETMISS. Student enrolments must be coded as follows:

d) participating students have demonstrated a commitment to the particular vocational program and an understanding of the requirements;

e) the training effort is consistent with: • the strategic priorities as outlined in the State Training Profile; and • Education District planning priorities.

f) VET in Schools is not to include delivery in courses or qualifications classified in the industry groups 19A to 19E. However, delivery in the following qualifications is permitted: • Certificate of Applied Vocational Study Skills (CAVSS) provided the delivery

is in accordance with the CAVSS Protocol; and • Certificate I in Leadership Development.

g) VET in Schools is not to include delivery at certificate I in the following industry groups:

16A Accounting and Other Business Services 16C Office and Clerical 17A Computing.

SCHEDULE 5 SCHOOL-BASED APPRENTICESHIPS AND TRAINEESHIPS

School-based apprenticeships and traineeships provide an opportunity for full time secondary students enrolled in school to begin preparing themselves for a career. They allow students studying towards the Western Australian Certificate of Education to gain a nationally recognised vocational education and training qualification. Public funding for school-based apprenticeship and traineeship delivery: • may be utilised for the component of training delivered and assessed by the

Provider; • is available to students enrolled in both government and non-government schools; • is to be achieved within the overall bottom line employment based delivery targets

established for the Provider; and • must be in accordance with the Guidelines and Working Principles for School-based

Apprenticeships and Traineeships in Western Australia and the Apprenticeship and Traineeship Policy Guidelines.

School-based apprenticeship and traineeship delivery should be included in the Provider’s profile funded training as reported via AVETMISS. Student enrolments must be coded as follows:

Page 29

SCHEDULE 6 POLICY FOR RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING

The Minister will fund the student curriculum hours (SCH) associated with RPL assessments at the same rate as other forms of training delivery.

Clients may receive RPL for one qualification per semester. Where a qualification has mandated pre-requisite units of competency, RPL for these units will be funded. The RTO should package the pre-requisite units to be part of the qualification requirements.

Excessive reporting of unsuccessful RPL will be monitored and, if necessary, funding constraints may be applied to future delivery and performance agreements.

The SCH associated with the RPL assessments for any one client each semester should not exceed the SCH required for a full qualification. RPL reported for each client will be monitored and funding constraints may be applied to future delivery and performance agreements where excessive RPL has been reported for a client.

Fee-for-Service arrangements should be established where the aim of a process for RPL is to:

a) prepare school teachers to deliver VET qualifications; or

b) assess the competencies of a government employee, where those competencies form part of the government agency’s conditions of employment, or are a requirement for promotion.

To support Training WA’s goal of increasing by 33% the number of recognition of prior learning outcomes by 2012, Providers are required to:

a) nominate a single contact point for RPL referrals;

b) grow RPL delivery above the level reported in 2009; and

c) increase RPL in trade areas.

SCHEDULE 7 PROTOCOL FOR PRISON DELIVERY

In support of the National Strategy for Vocational Education and Training for Adult Prisoners and Offenders in Australia, the Department of Corrective Services (DCS) and the Department of Training and Workforce Development, in liaison with Providers, are developing a joint planning process and standard protocols for prison based delivery. The aim is to establish a framework for the provision of high standard vocational education and training for offenders in WA prisons.

As part of the on-going process of developing cooperative working arrangements between Providers and the DCS, the following protocols will apply in 2010:

• The Provider will develop planned prison delivery in consultation with DCS; • The Provider will work with DCS in the development of mutually agreed business

rules for delivery in a prison. Once agreed, these business rules will form the basis of a memorandum of understanding between the Provider and DCS;

• The Provider will keep DCS informed of the actual delivery through regular reports and meetings; and

• The Provider gives permission for the Department to release information to DCS on the Provider’s actual and planned delivery across all years associated with prisoners. Such information is not to include individual student information.

SCHEDULE 8 STATE TRAINING QUALITY COMMITTEE (STQC) FUNDING FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

This protocol provides a basis for the use and evaluation of professional development (PD) funded through the STQC program. STQC funded professional development (PD) activities must be additional to core PD activities.

The Minister will provide the STQC funding as identified in Table 4, subject to the submission of an acceptable PD Plan. The Provider will be required to repay any STQC funds that have not been spent on approved PD activities.

The purpose of these guidelines is:

• to provide information on the requirements and content of the annual PD Plan and report to be submitted to the VET Programs and Development Branch of the Department for STQC funded PD activities; and

• to ensure there is clear evidence in the reporting process that learning and development activities are producing measurable improvements in the quality of teaching, learning and assessment in TAFEWA colleges.

To ensure there is a strong focus on teaching, learning and assessment of lecturers, it will be necessary to develop strategies for the maximum number of practitioners to benefit from the funding recognising that there is a mutual responsibility for colleges to provide opportunities for PD.

Requirements

The Provider shall develop, submit and implement an annual PD Plan that: • aligns with STQC’s key directions for the current calendar year. (These directions

will be supplied by the VET Programs and Development Branch of the Department.) • demonstrates how STQC funding is providing PD opportunities over and above

existing and on-going PD. • Clearly identifies:

o programs/initiatives/projects/courses funded by STQC which will take place; o how PD activities will be organised; and o how the success of the activities will be monitored and measured with evidence

of improved teaching, learning and assessment practices.

The Provider shall submit an annual report for the calendar year that includes:

• details of the programs/ initiatives/projects/ courses funded by STQC with a demonstration of how this funding provided PD support over and above on-going PD;

• an evaluation, including performance indicators, of the effectiveness of the STQC funding support, and if appropriate a rationale for adjustments to original plan; and

• an acquittal statement of how the funds have been allocated, signed by the Managing Director, showing funds expended on the program in the annual PD Plan.

Timeline

Submit PD Plan Last Friday in February

Submit annual report First Friday in December

SCHEDULE 9 SUPPLEMENTARY RECURRENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

This Schedule relates to (former) Commonwealth funds, known as Supplementary Recurrent Assistance (SRA). The purpose of these funds is to assist Providers in the application of specific initiatives and support measures directed at Aboriginal enrolments, retention and performance additional to ongoing Provider activity. Application of these funds should focus on initiatives generally encapsulated by, but not limited to, the following activity areas: • advance Aboriginal VET outcomes by closely integrating effort between TAFEWA,

registered training organisations and non-government organisations;

• improve access for adult learners to bridging and work readiness courses; • increase participation by Aboriginal people in AQF certificate III and above industry

recognised training; • improve access to higher levels of training in regional and remote locations (where

applicable); • deliver culturally inclusive, flexible and place-based training, customised to meet the

specific needs of local communities; • strengthen training to employment outcomes for Aboriginal people; • increase the use of recognition of prior learning to create more pathways to

advance the training and career opportunities of Aboriginal people; • increase the participation of Aboriginal adult learners in life long learning programs

that enhance life skills, community participation and employability; • case-manage and mentor Aboriginal trainees to link them to employment services; • develop strategies that address adult literacy and numeracy and re-entry into further

education and training; • introduce a case management approach for identified students and improve

interagency partnerships; • provide cultural awareness professional learning for all staff; • ensure Aboriginal representation on the Provider’s key strategic committees and

build relationships that empower Aboriginal people to participate in learning.

Aboriginal Training Plan (ATP) To enable effective contribution towards achievement across the above activity areas and to address priorities outlined in Training WA: Planning for the Future 2009 - 2018, the Training Provider must prepare an Aboriginal Training Plan for 2010. The format of the Plan may be consistent with previous years and/or the Provider’s current approach. The Plan must be endorsed by the Provider’s local Aboriginal Education, Employment and Training Committee (AEETC) and is to be made available upon request, to the Department.

Aboriginal Education Employment and Training Committee (AEETC) The Provider shall ensure that a local and viable AEETC is in place to advise, plan, monitor and exchange information relating to the implementation of initiatives and strategies as detailed within the ATP, to achieve outcomes against the activities listed in this schedule. Composition of AEETCs must include Aboriginal people, with membership drawn from the Provider and the Aboriginal community. The AEETC must meet a minimum of four times per year.

SCHEDULE 10 INDIGENOUS TUTORIAL ASSISTANCE SCHEME (ITAS)

The objective of the Indigenous Tutorial Assistance Scheme (ITAS) is to increase VET module and course completion rates and encourage students to complete courses at the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) certificate III and IV levels and in diploma and higher levels of study.

Up until the year ending 2008, ITAS was administered by the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR). In January 2009, program administration was transferred to the then Department of Education and Training under the Commonwealth/State National Agreement for Skills and Workforce Development.

The program must be delivered in accordance with the following requirements:

1. The aim of the program is to provide tutorial assistance to students who are enrolled in a course of study that will lead to attainment of a certificate III or above qualification. Students may also be assisted whilst studying for a certificate I or II qualification, only if those units are being undertaken as prerequisite work, and are part of a course of study leading to the attainment of a certificate III or above qualification.

2. The maximum hours of tuition available to students participating in the scheme will be three (3) hours per week and depending on local circumstances the scheme can be applied to satisfy individual needs through “cluster group” arrangements.

3. The Provider is to establish arrangements and processes that allow for ready access to a range of potential tutors and to provide appropriate training/instruction for tutors as required.

4. Application of the Scheme should be consistent with the College Aboriginal Training Plan (ATP).

5. Each incident of utilisation of the program will be endorsed by the College Aboriginal “Support Unit” or its equivalent.

6. The Provider is required to determine tutor rates of pay commensurate with experience and qualifications of the tutor and the tuition is to be supplementary to mainstream teaching efforts and can not be used to substitute or replace such efforts.

7. The Provider is to customise delivery of tuition to obtain optimal benefits for individual students.

8. The services will be delivered within the term of this Agreement stated in Section 3.

9. Tutors must be 18 years of age or older with suitable qualifications or have relevant experience to provide the required tuition.

10. Tutors must have a National Police Certificate criminal records check and Working with Children Clearance.

SCHEDULE 2 FUNDING: COLLEGE TRAINING PROFILE

1. Funding

a) Table 4 details the funding to be provided by the Minister for the delivery of the College Training Profile.

b) The basis of funding Advanced Skill Lecturer, Principal Lecturer and Salary Maintenance staff is listed in Table 5.

c) No funding will be provided by the Department of Treasury and Finance to cover the cost of the 27th pay that will occur in 2015. Providers should ensure that appropriate provision is made in the preceding years to cover the cost of the additional pay when it falls due.

2. Payment schedule

a) Subject to the Provider meeting all of the terms in this Agreement, the Minister will pay the Provider in fortnightly disbursements in accordance with a schedule issued by the Minister.

b) The Provider’s refund liability will be determined in the second quarter of 2011.

c) If a refund is payable, the Provider will pay the refund by the date stated on an invoice supplied by the Minister.

3. Refund

a) Where the Provider fails to meet the targets in Schedule 1, a refund will be payable to the Minister. In specific circumstances detailed below a credit may be payable to the Provider. The Total Refund is calculated as follows:

Total Refund

= Refund for EBT, Skills Shortage Institutional and General Institutional

Plus or Minus Additional Items Refund or Credit

Plus or Minus Fees Refund or Credit

Minus EBT Credit

Minus Skills Shortage Credit

The Provider is not eligible for additional funding where the EBT and Skills Shortage Credits are greater than the other refund items payable by the Provider.

The following clauses explain the components of the refund calculation.

b) The refund will be calculated separately for each of the following categories of delivery:

2010 Delivery and Performance Agreement between the Minister for Training and Workforce Development and Great Southern TAFE

Page 21

• EBT;

• Skills Shortage Institutional (SSI); and

• General Institutional (GI).

The Skills Shortage Matrix (Table 10) defines the Target SCH for each of these categories of delivery.

c) The refund for EBT, SSI and GI is calculated as follows:

i Reported SCH is sourced from the Provider’s final enrolment statistics data submission on an end of study basis. This is determined from the AVETMISS data collection in accordance with the following criteria:

• Fund source Id – State = 10;

• Enrolment category Id = C or S;

• Outcome identifier not 53, 54, 60 or 70; and

• Enrolment activity end date between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2010;

ii Validated SCH are determined by reducing Reported SCH by that portion of the Provider’s Invalid Enrolment (IE) rate in excess of three percent;

iii Funded SCH are determined by reducing Validated SCH for any delivery that exceeds the agreed tolerances for profile management (see below);

iv Shortfall SCH is determined by subtracting Funded SCH from Target SCH; and

v A Shortfall Refund is calculated for each category of delivery as: Shortfall SCH x Unit cost.

d) The Unit Cost for EBT delivery and IBT delivery is stated in Table 4.

e) Funded SCH for EBT is calculated by assessing the Provider’s total Validated SCH for EBT against the Provider’s total Target SCH for EBT. The following rules apply to the calculation of Funded SCH for EBT delivery:

i Where Validated SCH is greater than Target SCH, Funded SCH will be reduced to equal Target SCH. Any surplus Validated SCH for EBT delivery above the Target SCH will create an EBT Credit calculated on the Unit Cost for Employment Based Training.

ii Otherwise, Funded SCH equals Validated SCH.

f) Funded SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional is calculated by assessing the Provider’s total Validated SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional against the

2010 Delivery and Performance Agreement between the Minister for Training and Workforce Development and Great Southern TAFE

Page 22

Provider’s total Target SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional. The following rules apply to the calculation of Funded SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional delivery:

i Where Validated SCH is greater than Target SCH, Funded SCH will be reduced to equal Target SCH. Any surplus Validated SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional delivery above the Target SCH will create a Skills Shortage Credit calculated on the Unit Cost for Institutional Based Training.

ii Otherwise, Funded SCH equals Validated SCH.

g) Funded SCH for General Institutional is calculated by assessing the Provider’s Validated SCH for General Institutional in each Industry Group against the Target SCH for General Institutional.

h) The following General Institutional SCH are excluded from Funded SCH for General Institutional:

i Any Validated SCH above 500 SCH for an Industry Group which contains no Institutional target;

ii Any Validated SCH above the target for General Institutional training in an Industry Group that is subject to a ‘hard’ ceiling as set out in Table 6;

iii Any Validated SCH in Industry Groups without a ‘hard’ ceiling, where delivery exceeds the target for General Institutional by more than 40,000 SCH (for Industry Groups with an IBT target of greater than 200,000 SCH) or 20,000 SCH (for all other Industry Groups).

iv VET for schools IBT delivery above the level stated in Table 2;

v VET for school students IBT delivery in courses and qualifications excluded from this delivery under the protocol in Schedule 4;

vi IBT delivery to prisoners above the level stated in Table 2;

vii Any Validated SCH above the ceiling on other training in certificate I and below courses as set out in Table 2; and

viii Any Validated SCH above the sum of the ceilings on all certificate I and below courses as set out in Table 2.

i) An Additional Items Refund is calculated on each of the following:

i Funding provided for GROH housing in excess of actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider;

ii Funding provided for maintenance, minor works, equipment and the Technology Infrastructure Replacement Strategy in excess of the actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider against approved expenditures; and

2010 Delivery and Performance Agreement between the Minister for Training and Workforce Development and Great Southern TAFE

Page 23

iii Funding provided for any other specific projects in excess of actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider.

j) An Additional Items Credit will apply if funding provided for GROH housing is less than actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider.

k) A Fees Refund or Credit is based on:

i the funding for resource fees associated with delivery to school students compared to the funding justified against the SCH delivered in accordance with this Agreement; and

ii the funding for job seeker, RPL and childcare fee concessions compared to the cost of these concessions based on final reported enrolments.

SCHEDULE 4 PROTOCOL FOR VET IN SCHOOLS

The aim of this protocol is to ensure the most efficient and effective use of public resources in the implementation of the VET in Schools initiative. The Refund provisions in Schedule 2 identify the circumstances where a refund is payable for a breach of this protocol.

VET in Schools programs allow students studying towards the Western Australian Certificate of Education to gain a partial or complete VET qualification. Profile funded VET in Schools is a targeted program that aims to enhance existing VET in Schools delivery by providing:

• a pathway to higher level qualifications; • training that is not within the scope of registration of an RTO school; and/or • access to equipment and expertise not available in the school context. Profile funded VET in Schools consists of the School Apprenticeship Link and delivery to government and non-government schools subject to the following conditions:

School Apprenticeship Link (SAL) The School Apprenticeship Link (SAL) program supports the achievement of the Government’s targets for employment based training and school retention. The approach is aimed at increasing young people’s participation in education, employment and training and in particular in achieving a successful transition from school to an apprenticeship.

SAL is a school-based transition program delivered by a registered training organisation and available for students in Years 11 and 12. There are two SAL options in various trades; a two semester family of trades program and a three semester trade specific pre-apprenticeship.

The SAL Family of Trades model allows students to experience a range of trades within an industry to assist them in making an informed choice when selecting their apprenticeship.

The SAL pre-apprenticeship model accommodates students who are clear on the trade they want to undertake and provides for direct credit on entry into an apprenticeship. SAL pre-apprenticeships are identical to mainstream pre-apprenticeships.

SAL placements funded at each college are determined by the Department. The Department allocates funded places for both government and non-government schools. Providers must seek approval from the Department for any change in the number of SAL places.

Profile funded SAL delivery should be included in the Provider’s profile funded training and reported via AVETMISS. Student enrolments must be coded as follows:

d) participating students have demonstrated a commitment to the particular vocational program and an understanding of the requirements;

e) the training effort is consistent with: • the strategic priorities as outlined in the State Training Profile; and • Education District planning priorities.

f) VET in Schools is not to include delivery in courses or qualifications classified in the industry groups 19A to 19E. However, delivery in the following qualifications is permitted: • Certificate of Applied Vocational Study Skills (CAVSS) provided the delivery

is in accordance with the CAVSS Protocol; and • Certificate I in Leadership Development.

SCHEDULE 5 SCHOOL-BASED APPRENTICESHIPS AND TRAINEESHIPS

School-based apprenticeships and traineeships provide an opportunity for full time secondary students enrolled in school to begin preparing themselves for a career. They allow students studying towards the Western Australian Certificate of Education to gain a nationally recognised vocational education and training qualification. Public funding for school-based apprenticeship and traineeship delivery: • may be utilised for the component of training delivered and assessed by the

Provider; • is available to students enrolled in both government and non-government schools; • is to be achieved within the overall bottom line employment based delivery targets

established for the Provider; and • must be in accordance with the Guidelines and Working Principles for School-based

Apprenticeships and Traineeships in Western Australia and the Apprenticeship and Traineeship Policy Guidelines.

School-based apprenticeship and traineeship delivery should be included in the Provider’s profile funded training as reported via AVETMISS. Student enrolments must be coded as follows:

Page 29

SCHEDULE 6 POLICY FOR RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING

The Minister will fund the student curriculum hours (SCH) associated with RPL assessments at the same rate as other forms of training delivery.

Clients may receive RPL for one qualification per semester. Where a qualification has mandated pre-requisite units of competency, RPL for these units will be funded. The RTO should package the pre-requisite units to be part of the qualification requirements.

Excessive reporting of unsuccessful RPL will be monitored and, if necessary, funding constraints may be applied to future delivery and performance agreements.

The SCH associated with the RPL assessments for any one client each semester should not exceed the SCH required for a full qualification. RPL reported for each client will be monitored and funding constraints may be applied to future delivery and performance agreements where excessive RPL has been reported for a client.

Fee-for-Service arrangements should be established where the aim of a process for RPL is to:

a) prepare school teachers to deliver VET qualifications; or

b) assess the competencies of a government employee, where those competencies form part of the government agency’s conditions of employment, or are a requirement for promotion.

To support Training WA’s goal of increasing by 33% the number of recognition of prior learning outcomes by 2012, Providers are required to:

a) nominate a single contact point for RPL referrals;

b) grow RPL delivery above the level reported in 2009; and

c) increase RPL in trade areas.

SCHEDULE 7 PROTOCOL FOR PRISON DELIVERY

In support of the National Strategy for Vocational Education and Training for Adult Prisoners and Offenders in Australia, the Department of Corrective Services (DCS) and the Department of Training and Workforce Development, in liaison with Providers, are developing a joint planning process and standard protocols for prison based delivery. The aim is to establish a framework for the provision of high standard vocational education and training for offenders in WA prisons.

As part of the on-going process of developing cooperative working arrangements between Providers and the DCS, the following protocols will apply in 2010:

• The Provider will develop planned prison delivery in consultation with DCS; • The Provider will work with DCS in the development of mutually agreed business

rules for delivery in a prison. Once agreed, these business rules will form the basis of a memorandum of understanding between the Provider and DCS;

• The Provider will keep DCS informed of the actual delivery through regular reports and meetings; and

• The Provider gives permission for the Department to release information to DCS on the Provider’s actual and planned delivery across all years associated with prisoners. Such information is not to include individual student information.

SCHEDULE 8 STATE TRAINING QUALITY COMMITTEE (STQC) FUNDING FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

This protocol provides a basis for the use and evaluation of professional development (PD) funded through the STQC program. STQC funded professional development (PD) activities must be additional to core PD activities.

The Minister will provide the STQC funding as identified in Table 4, subject to the submission of an acceptable PD Plan. The Provider will be required to repay any STQC funds that have not been spent on approved PD activities.

The purpose of these guidelines is:

• to provide information on the requirements and content of the annual PD Plan and report to be submitted to the VET Programs and Development Branch of the Department for STQC funded PD activities; and

• to ensure there is clear evidence in the reporting process that learning and development activities are producing measurable improvements in the quality of teaching, learning and assessment in TAFEWA colleges.

To ensure there is a strong focus on teaching, learning and assessment of lecturers, it will be necessary to develop strategies for the maximum number of practitioners to benefit from the funding recognising that there is a mutual responsibility for colleges to provide opportunities for PD.

Requirements

The Provider shall develop, submit and implement an annual PD Plan that: • aligns with STQC’s key directions for the current calendar year. (These directions

will be supplied by the VET Programs and Development Branch of the Department.) • demonstrates how STQC funding is providing PD opportunities over and above

existing and on-going PD. • Clearly identifies:

o programs/initiatives/projects/courses funded by STQC which will take place; o how PD activities will be organised; and o how the success of the activities will be monitored and measured with evidence

of improved teaching, learning and assessment practices.

The Provider shall submit an annual report for the calendar year that includes:

• details of the programs/ initiatives/projects/ courses funded by STQC with a demonstration of how this funding provided PD support over and above on-going PD;

• an evaluation, including performance indicators, of the effectiveness of the STQC funding support, and if appropriate a rationale for adjustments to original plan; and

• an acquittal statement of how the funds have been allocated, signed by the Managing Director, showing funds expended on the program in the annual PD Plan.

SCHEDULE 2 FUNDING: COLLEGE TRAINING PROFILE

1. Funding

a) Table 4 details the funding to be provided by the Minister for the delivery of the College Training Profile.

b) The basis of funding Advanced Skill Lecturer, Principal Lecturer and Salary Maintenance staff is listed in Table 5.

c) No funding will be provided by the Department of Treasury and Finance to cover the cost of the 27th pay that will occur in 2015. Providers should ensure that appropriate provision is made in the preceding years to cover the cost of the additional pay when it falls due.

2. Payment schedule

a) Subject to the Provider meeting all of the terms in this Agreement, the Minister will pay the Provider in fortnightly disbursements in accordance with a schedule issued by the Minister.

b) The Provider’s refund liability will be determined in the second quarter of 2011.

c) If a refund is payable, the Provider will pay the refund by the date stated on an invoice supplied by the Minister.

3. Refund

a) Where the Provider fails to meet the targets in Schedule 1, a refund will be payable to the Minister. In specific circumstances detailed below a credit may be payable to the Provider. The Total Refund is calculated as follows:

Total Refund

= Refund for EBT, Skills Shortage Institutional and General Institutional

Plus or Minus Additional Items Refund or Credit

Plus or Minus Fees Refund or Credit

Minus EBT Credit

Minus Skills Shortage Credit

The Provider is not eligible for additional funding where the EBT and Skills Shortage Credits are greater than the other refund items payable by the Provider.

The following clauses explain the components of the refund calculation.

b) The refund will be calculated separately for each of the following categories of delivery:

2010 Delivery and Performance Agreement between the Minister for Training and Workforce Development and Kimberley TAFE

Page 21

• EBT;

• Skills Shortage Institutional (SSI); and

• General Institutional (GI).

The Skills Shortage Matrix (Table 10) defines the Target SCH for each of these categories of delivery.

c) The refund for EBT, SSI and GI is calculated as follows:

i Reported SCH is sourced from the Provider’s final enrolment statistics data submission on an end of study basis. This is determined from the AVETMISS data collection in accordance with the following criteria:

• Fund source Id – State = 10;

• Enrolment category Id = C or S;

• Outcome identifier not 53, 54, 60 or 70; and

• Enrolment activity end date between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2010;

ii Validated SCH are determined by reducing Reported SCH by that portion of the Provider’s Invalid Enrolment (IE) rate in excess of three percent;

iii Funded SCH are determined by reducing Validated SCH for any delivery that exceeds the agreed tolerances for profile management (see below);

iv Shortfall SCH is determined by subtracting Funded SCH from Target SCH; and

v A Shortfall Refund is calculated for each category of delivery as: Shortfall SCH x Unit cost.

d) The Unit Cost for EBT delivery and IBT delivery is stated in Table 4.

e) Funded SCH for EBT is calculated by assessing the Provider’s total Validated SCH for EBT against the Provider’s total Target SCH for EBT. The following rules apply to the calculation of Funded SCH for EBT delivery:

i Where Validated SCH is greater than Target SCH, Funded SCH will be reduced to equal Target SCH. Any surplus Validated SCH for EBT delivery above the Target SCH will create an EBT Credit calculated on the Unit Cost for Employment Based Training.

ii Otherwise, Funded SCH equals Validated SCH.

f) Funded SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional is calculated by assessing the Provider’s total Validated SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional against the

2010 Delivery and Performance Agreement between the Minister for Training and Workforce Development and Kimberley TAFE

Page 22

Provider’s total Target SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional. The following rules apply to the calculation of Funded SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional delivery:

i Where Validated SCH is greater than Target SCH, Funded SCH will be reduced to equal Target SCH. Any surplus Validated SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional delivery above the Target SCH will create a Skills Shortage Credit calculated on the Unit Cost for Institutional Based Training.

ii Otherwise, Funded SCH equals Validated SCH.

g) Funded SCH for General Institutional is calculated by assessing the Provider’s Validated SCH for General Institutional in each Industry Group against the Target SCH for General Institutional.

h) The following General Institutional SCH are excluded from Funded SCH for General Institutional:

i Any Validated SCH above 500 SCH for an Industry Group which contains no Institutional target;

ii Any Validated SCH above the target for General Institutional training in an Industry Group that is subject to a ‘hard’ ceiling as set out in Table 6;

iii Any Validated SCH in Industry Groups without a ‘hard’ ceiling, where delivery exceeds the target for General Institutional by more than 40,000 SCH (for Industry Groups with an IBT target of greater than 200,000 SCH) or 20,000 SCH (for all other Industry Groups).

iv VET for schools IBT delivery above the level stated in Table 2;

v VET for school students IBT delivery in courses and qualifications excluded from this delivery under the protocol in Schedule 4;

vi IBT delivery to prisoners above the level stated in Table 2;

vii Any Validated SCH above the ceiling on other training in certificate I and below courses as set out in Table 2; and

viii Any Validated SCH above the sum of the ceilings on all certificate I and below courses as set out in Table 2.

i) An Additional Items Refund is calculated on each of the following:

i Funding provided for GROH housing in excess of actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider;

ii Funding provided for maintenance, minor works, equipment and the Technology Infrastructure Replacement Strategy in excess of the actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider against approved expenditures; and

SCHEDULE 4 PROTOCOL FOR VET IN SCHOOLS

The aim of this protocol is to ensure the most efficient and effective use of public resources in the implementation of the VET in Schools initiative. The Refund provisions in Schedule 2 identify the circumstances where a refund is payable for a breach of this protocol.

VET in Schools programs allow students studying towards the Western Australian Certificate of Education to gain a partial or complete VET qualification. Profile funded VET in Schools is a targeted program that aims to enhance existing VET in Schools delivery by providing:

• a pathway to higher level qualifications; • training that is not within the scope of registration of an RTO school; and/or • access to equipment and expertise not available in the school context. Profile funded VET in Schools consists of the School Apprenticeship Link and delivery to government and non-government schools subject to the following conditions:

School Apprenticeship Link (SAL) The School Apprenticeship Link (SAL) program supports the achievement of the Government’s targets for employment based training and school retention. The approach is aimed at increasing young people’s participation in education, employment and training and in particular in achieving a successful transition from school to an apprenticeship.

SAL is a school-based transition program delivered by a registered training organisation and available for students in Years 11 and 12. There are two SAL options in various trades; a two semester family of trades program and a three semester trade specific pre-apprenticeship.

The SAL Family of Trades model allows students to experience a range of trades within an industry to assist them in making an informed choice when selecting their apprenticeship.

The SAL pre-apprenticeship model accommodates students who are clear on the trade they want to undertake and provides for direct credit on entry into an apprenticeship. SAL pre-apprenticeships are identical to mainstream pre-apprenticeships.

SAL placements funded at each college are determined by the Department. The Department allocates funded places for both government and non-government schools. Providers must seek approval from the Department for any change in the number of SAL places.

Profile funded SAL delivery should be included in the Provider’s profile funded training and reported via AVETMISS. Student enrolments must be coded as follows:

d) participating students have demonstrated a commitment to the particular vocational program and an understanding of the requirements;

e) the training effort is consistent with: • the strategic priorities as outlined in the State Training Profile; and • Education District planning priorities.

f) VET in Schools is not to include delivery in courses or qualifications classified in the industry groups 19A to 19E. However, delivery in the following qualifications is permitted: • Certificate of Applied Vocational Study Skills (CAVSS) provided the delivery

is in accordance with the CAVSS Protocol; and • Certificate I in Leadership Development.

g) VET in Schools is not to include delivery at certificate I in the following industry groups:

16A Accounting and Other Business Services 16C Office and Clerical 17A Computing.

SCHEDULE 5 SCHOOL-BASED APPRENTICESHIPS AND TRAINEESHIPS

School-based apprenticeships and traineeships provide an opportunity for full time secondary students enrolled in school to begin preparing themselves for a career. They allow students studying towards the Western Australian Certificate of Education to gain a nationally recognised vocational education and training qualification. Public funding for school-based apprenticeship and traineeship delivery: • may be utilised for the component of training delivered and assessed by the

Provider; • is available to students enrolled in both government and non-government schools; • is to be achieved within the overall bottom line employment based delivery targets

established for the Provider; and • must be in accordance with the Guidelines and Working Principles for School-based

Apprenticeships and Traineeships in Western Australia and the Apprenticeship and Traineeship Policy Guidelines.

School-based apprenticeship and traineeship delivery should be included in the Provider’s profile funded training as reported via AVETMISS. Student enrolments must be coded as follows:

SCHEDULE 6 POLICY FOR RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING

The Minister will fund the student curriculum hours (SCH) associated with RPL assessments at the same rate as other forms of training delivery.

Clients may receive RPL for one qualification per semester. Where a qualification has mandated pre-requisite units of competency, RPL for these units will be funded. The RTO should package the pre-requisite units to be part of the qualification requirements.

Excessive reporting of unsuccessful RPL will be monitored and, if necessary, funding constraints may be applied to future delivery and performance agreements.

The SCH associated with the RPL assessments for any one client each semester should not exceed the SCH required for a full qualification. RPL reported for each client will be monitored and funding constraints may be applied to future delivery and performance agreements where excessive RPL has been reported for a client.

Fee-for-Service arrangements should be established where the aim of a process for RPL is to:

a) prepare school teachers to deliver VET qualifications; or

b) assess the competencies of a government employee, where those competencies form part of the government agency’s conditions of employment, or are a requirement for promotion.

To support Training WA’s goal of increasing by 33% the number of recognition of prior learning outcomes by 2012, Providers are required to:

a) nominate a single contact point for RPL referrals;

b) grow RPL delivery above the level reported in 2009; and

c) increase RPL in trade areas.

SCHEDULE 7 PROTOCOL FOR PRISON DELIVERY

In support of the National Strategy for Vocational Education and Training for Adult Prisoners and Offenders in Australia, the Department of Corrective Services (DCS) and the Department of Training and Workforce Development, in liaison with Providers, are developing a joint planning process and standard protocols for prison based delivery. The aim is to establish a framework for the provision of high standard vocational education and training for offenders in WA prisons.

As part of the on-going process of developing cooperative working arrangements between Providers and the DCS, the following protocols will apply in 2010:

• The Provider will develop planned prison delivery in consultation with DCS; • The Provider will work with DCS in the development of mutually agreed business

rules for delivery in a prison. Once agreed, these business rules will form the basis of a memorandum of understanding between the Provider and DCS;

• The Provider will keep DCS informed of the actual delivery through regular reports and meetings; and

• The Provider gives permission for the Department to release information to DCS on the Provider’s actual and planned delivery across all years associated with prisoners. Such information is not to include individual student information.

SCHEDULE 8 STATE TRAINING QUALITY COMMITTEE (STQC) FUNDING FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

This protocol provides a basis for the use and evaluation of professional development (PD) funded through the STQC program. STQC funded professional development (PD) activities must be additional to core PD activities.

The Minister will provide the STQC funding as identified in Table 4, subject to the submission of an acceptable PD Plan. The Provider will be required to repay any STQC funds that have not been spent on approved PD activities.

The purpose of these guidelines is:

• to provide information on the requirements and content of the annual PD Plan and report to be submitted to the VET Programs and Development Branch of the Department for STQC funded PD activities; and

• to ensure there is clear evidence in the reporting process that learning and development activities are producing measurable improvements in the quality of teaching, learning and assessment in TAFEWA colleges.

To ensure there is a strong focus on teaching, learning and assessment of lecturers, it will be necessary to develop strategies for the maximum number of practitioners to benefit from the funding recognising that there is a mutual responsibility for colleges to provide opportunities for PD.

Requirements

The Provider shall develop, submit and implement an annual PD Plan that: • aligns with STQC’s key directions for the current calendar year. (These directions

will be supplied by the VET Programs and Development Branch of the Department.) • demonstrates how STQC funding is providing PD opportunities over and above

existing and on-going PD. • Clearly identifies:

o programs/initiatives/projects/courses funded by STQC which will take place; o how PD activities will be organised; and o how the success of the activities will be monitored and measured with evidence

of improved teaching, learning and assessment practices.

The Provider shall submit an annual report for the calendar year that includes:

• details of the programs/ initiatives/projects/ courses funded by STQC with a demonstration of how this funding provided PD support over and above on-going PD;

• an evaluation, including performance indicators, of the effectiveness of the STQC funding support, and if appropriate a rationale for adjustments to original plan; and

• an acquittal statement of how the funds have been allocated, signed by the Managing Director, showing funds expended on the program in the annual PD Plan.

SCHEDULE 2 FUNDING: COLLEGE TRAINING PROFILE

1. Funding

a) Table 4 details the funding to be provided by the Minister for the delivery of the College Training Profile.

b) The basis of funding Advanced Skill Lecturer, Principal Lecturer and Salary Maintenance staff is listed in Table 5.

c) No funding will be provided by the Department of Treasury and Finance to cover the cost of the 27th pay that will occur in 2015. Providers should ensure that appropriate provision is made in the preceding years to cover the cost of the additional pay when it falls due.

2. Payment schedule

a) Subject to the Provider meeting all of the terms in this Agreement, the Minister will pay the Provider in fortnightly disbursements in accordance with a schedule issued by the Minister.

b) The Provider’s refund liability will be determined in the second quarter of 2011.

c) If a refund is payable, the Provider will pay the refund by the date stated on an invoice supplied by the Minister.

3. Refund

a) Where the Provider fails to meet the targets in Schedule 1, a refund will be payable to the Minister. In specific circumstances detailed below a credit may be payable to the Provider. The Total Refund is calculated as follows:

Total Refund

= Refund for EBT, Skills Shortage Institutional and General Institutional

Plus or Minus Additional Items Refund or Credit

Plus or Minus Fees Refund or Credit

Minus EBT Credit

Minus Skills Shortage Credit

The Provider is not eligible for additional funding where the EBT and Skills Shortage Credits are greater than the other refund items payable by the Provider.

The following clauses explain the components of the refund calculation.

b) The refund will be calculated separately for each of the following categories of delivery:

2010 Delivery and Performance Agreement between the Minister for Training and Workforce Development and Pilbara TAFE

Page 21

• EBT;

• Skills Shortage Institutional (SSI); and

• General Institutional (GI).

The Skills Shortage Matrix (Table 10) defines the Target SCH for each of these categories of delivery.

c) The refund for EBT, SSI and GI is calculated as follows:

i Reported SCH is sourced from the Provider’s final enrolment statistics data submission on an end of study basis. This is determined from the AVETMISS data collection in accordance with the following criteria:

• Fund source Id – State = 10;

• Enrolment category Id = C or S;

• Outcome identifier not 53, 54, 60 or 70; and

• Enrolment activity end date between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2010;

ii Validated SCH are determined by reducing Reported SCH by that portion of the Provider’s Invalid Enrolment (IE) rate in excess of three percent;

iii Funded SCH are determined by reducing Validated SCH for any delivery that exceeds the agreed tolerances for profile management (see below);

iv Shortfall SCH is determined by subtracting Funded SCH from Target SCH; and

v A Shortfall Refund is calculated for each category of delivery as: Shortfall SCH x Unit cost.

d) The Unit Cost for EBT delivery and IBT delivery is stated in Table 4.

e) Funded SCH for EBT is calculated by assessing the Provider’s total Validated SCH for EBT against the Provider’s total Target SCH for EBT. The following rules apply to the calculation of Funded SCH for EBT delivery:

i Where Validated SCH is greater than Target SCH, Funded SCH will be reduced to equal Target SCH. Any surplus Validated SCH for EBT delivery above the Target SCH will create an EBT Credit calculated on the Unit Cost for Employment Based Training.

ii Otherwise, Funded SCH equals Validated SCH.

f) Funded SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional is calculated by assessing the Provider’s total Validated SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional against the

2010 Delivery and Performance Agreement between the Minister for Training and Workforce Development and Pilbara TAFE

Page 22

Provider’s total Target SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional. The following rules apply to the calculation of Funded SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional delivery:

i Where Validated SCH is greater than Target SCH, Funded SCH will be reduced to equal Target SCH. Any surplus Validated SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional delivery above the Target SCH will create a Skills Shortage Credit calculated on the Unit Cost for Institutional Based Training.

ii Otherwise, Funded SCH equals Validated SCH.

g) Funded SCH for General Institutional is calculated by assessing the Provider’s Validated SCH for General Institutional in each Industry Group against the Target SCH for General Institutional.

h) The following General Institutional SCH are excluded from Funded SCH for General Institutional:

i Any Validated SCH above 500 SCH for an Industry Group which contains no Institutional target;

ii Any Validated SCH above the target for General Institutional training in an Industry Group that is subject to a ‘hard’ ceiling as set out in Table 6;

iii Any Validated SCH in Industry Groups without a ‘hard’ ceiling, where delivery exceeds the target for General Institutional by more than 40,000 SCH (for Industry Groups with an IBT target of greater than 200,000 SCH) or 20,000 SCH (for all other Industry Groups).

iv VET for schools IBT delivery above the level stated in Table 2;

v VET for school students IBT delivery in courses and qualifications excluded from this delivery under the protocol in Schedule 4;

vi IBT delivery to prisoners above the level stated in Table 2;

vii Any Validated SCH above the ceiling on other training in certificate I and below courses as set out in Table 2; and

viii Any Validated SCH above the sum of the ceilings on all certificate I and below courses as set out in Table 2.

i) An Additional Items Refund is calculated on each of the following:

i Funding provided for GROH housing in excess of actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider;

ii Funding provided for maintenance, minor works, equipment and the Technology Infrastructure Replacement Strategy in excess of the actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider against approved expenditures; and

2010 Delivery and Performance Agreement between the Minister for Training and Workforce Development and Pilbara TAFE

Page 23

iii Funding provided for any other specific projects in excess of actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider.

j) An Additional Items Credit will apply if funding provided for GROH housing is less than actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider.

k) A Fees Refund or Credit is based on:

i the funding for resource fees associated with delivery to school students compared to the funding justified against the SCH delivered in accordance with this Agreement; and

ii the funding for job seeker, RPL and childcare fee concessions compared to the cost of these concessions based on final reported enrolments.

SCHEDULE 4 PROTOCOL FOR VET IN SCHOOLS

The aim of this protocol is to ensure the most efficient and effective use of public resources in the implementation of the VET in Schools initiative. The Refund provisions in Schedule 2 identify the circumstances where a refund is payable for a breach of this protocol.

VET in Schools programs allow students studying towards the Western Australian Certificate of Education to gain a partial or complete VET qualification. Profile funded VET in Schools is a targeted program that aims to enhance existing VET in Schools delivery by providing:

• a pathway to higher level qualifications; • training that is not within the scope of registration of an RTO school; and/or • access to equipment and expertise not available in the school context. Profile funded VET in Schools consists of the School Apprenticeship Link and delivery to government and non-government schools subject to the following conditions:

School Apprenticeship Link (SAL) The School Apprenticeship Link (SAL) program supports the achievement of the Government’s targets for employment based training and school retention. The approach is aimed at increasing young people’s participation in education, employment and training and in particular in achieving a successful transition from school to an apprenticeship.

SAL is a school-based transition program delivered by a registered training organisation and available for students in Years 11 and 12. There are two SAL options in various trades; a two semester family of trades program and a three semester trade specific pre-apprenticeship.

The SAL Family of Trades model allows students to experience a range of trades within an industry to assist them in making an informed choice when selecting their apprenticeship.

The SAL pre-apprenticeship model accommodates students who are clear on the trade they want to undertake and provides for direct credit on entry into an apprenticeship. SAL pre-apprenticeships are identical to mainstream pre-apprenticeships.

SAL placements funded at each college are determined by the Department. The Department allocates funded places for both government and non-government schools. Providers must seek approval from the Department for any change in the number of SAL places.

Profile funded SAL delivery should be included in the Provider’s profile funded training and reported via AVETMISS. Student enrolments must be coded as follows:

d) participating students have demonstrated a commitment to the particular vocational program and an understanding of the requirements;

e) the training effort is consistent with: • the strategic priorities as outlined in the State Training Profile; and • Education District planning priorities.

f) VET in Schools is not to include delivery in courses or qualifications classified in the industry groups 19A to 19E. However, delivery in the following qualifications is permitted: • Certificate of Applied Vocational Study Skills (CAVSS) provided the delivery

is in accordance with the CAVSS Protocol; and • Certificate I in Leadership Development.

SCHEDULE 5 SCHOOL-BASED APPRENTICESHIPS AND TRAINEESHIPS

School-based apprenticeships and traineeships provide an opportunity for full time secondary students enrolled in school to begin preparing themselves for a career. They allow students studying towards the Western Australian Certificate of Education to gain a nationally recognised vocational education and training qualification. Public funding for school-based apprenticeship and traineeship delivery: • may be utilised for the component of training delivered and assessed by the

Provider; • is available to students enrolled in both government and non-government schools; • is to be achieved within the overall bottom line employment based delivery targets

established for the Provider; and • must be in accordance with the Guidelines and Working Principles for School-based

Apprenticeships and Traineeships in Western Australia and the Apprenticeship and Traineeship Policy Guidelines.

School-based apprenticeship and traineeship delivery should be included in the Provider’s profile funded training as reported via AVETMISS. Student enrolments must be coded as follows:

SCHEDULE 6 POLICY FOR RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING

The Minister will fund the student curriculum hours (SCH) associated with RPL assessments at the same rate as other forms of training delivery.

Clients may receive RPL for one qualification per semester. Where a qualification has mandated pre-requisite units of competency, RPL for these units will be funded. The RTO should package the pre-requisite units to be part of the qualification requirements.

Excessive reporting of unsuccessful RPL will be monitored and, if necessary, funding constraints may be applied to future delivery and performance agreements.

The SCH associated with the RPL assessments for any one client each semester should not exceed the SCH required for a full qualification. RPL reported for each client will be monitored and funding constraints may be applied to future delivery and performance agreements where excessive RPL has been reported for a client.

Fee-for-Service arrangements should be established where the aim of a process for RPL is to:

a) prepare school teachers to deliver VET qualifications; or

b) assess the competencies of a government employee, where those competencies form part of the government agency’s conditions of employment, or are a requirement for promotion.

To support Training WA’s goal of increasing by 33% the number of recognition of prior learning outcomes by 2012, Providers are required to:

a) nominate a single contact point for RPL referrals;

b) grow RPL delivery above the level reported in 2009; and

c) increase RPL in trade areas.

SCHEDULE 7 PROTOCOL FOR PRISON DELIVERY

In support of the National Strategy for Vocational Education and Training for Adult Prisoners and Offenders in Australia, the Department of Corrective Services (DCS) and the Department of Training and Workforce Development, in liaison with Providers, are developing a joint planning process and standard protocols for prison based delivery. The aim is to establish a framework for the provision of high standard vocational education and training for offenders in WA prisons.

As part of the on-going process of developing cooperative working arrangements between Providers and the DCS, the following protocols will apply in 2010:

• The Provider will develop planned prison delivery in consultation with DCS; • The Provider will work with DCS in the development of mutually agreed business

rules for delivery in a prison. Once agreed, these business rules will form the basis of a memorandum of understanding between the Provider and DCS;

• The Provider will keep DCS informed of the actual delivery through regular reports and meetings; and

• The Provider gives permission for the Department to release information to DCS on the Provider’s actual and planned delivery across all years associated with prisoners. Such information is not to include individual student information.

This protocol provides a basis for the use and evaluation of professional development (PD) funded through the STQC program. STQC funded professional development (PD) activities must be additional to core PD activities.

The Minister will provide the STQC funding as identified in Table 4, subject to the submission of an acceptable PD Plan. The Provider will be required to repay any STQC funds that have not been spent on approved PD activities.

The purpose of these guidelines is:

• to provide information on the requirements and content of the annual PD Plan and report to be submitted to the VET Programs and Development Branch of the Department for STQC funded PD activities; and

• to ensure there is clear evidence in the reporting process that learning and development activities are producing measurable improvements in the quality of teaching, learning and assessment in TAFEWA colleges.

To ensure there is a strong focus on teaching, learning and assessment of lecturers, it will be necessary to develop strategies for the maximum number of practitioners to benefit from the funding recognising that there is a mutual responsibility for colleges to provide opportunities for PD.

Requirements

The Provider shall develop, submit and implement an annual PD Plan that: • aligns with STQC’s key directions for the current calendar year. (These directions

will be supplied by the VET Programs and Development Branch of the Department.) • demonstrates how STQC funding is providing PD opportunities over and above

existing and on-going PD. • Clearly identifies:

o programs/initiatives/projects/courses funded by STQC which will take place; o how PD activities will be organised; and o how the success of the activities will be monitored and measured with evidence

of improved teaching, learning and assessment practices.

The Provider shall submit an annual report for the calendar year that includes:

• details of the programs/ initiatives/projects/ courses funded by STQC with a demonstration of how this funding provided PD support over and above on-going PD;

• an evaluation, including performance indicators, of the effectiveness of the STQC funding support, and if appropriate a rationale for adjustments to original plan; and

• an acquittal statement of how the funds have been allocated, signed by the Managing Director, showing funds expended on the program in the annual PD Plan.

Timeline

Submit PD Plan Last Friday in February

Submit annual report First Friday in December

SCHEDULE 9 SUPPLEMENTARY RECURRENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

This Schedule relates to (former) Commonwealth funds, known as Supplementary Recurrent Assistance (SRA). The purpose of these funds is to assist Providers in the application of specific initiatives and support measures directed at Aboriginal enrolments, retention and performance additional to ongoing Provider activity. Application of these funds should focus on initiatives generally encapsulated by, but not limited to, the following activity areas: • advance Aboriginal VET outcomes by closely integrating effort between TAFEWA,

registered training organisations and non-government organisations;

• improve access for adult learners to bridging and work readiness courses; • increase participation by Aboriginal people in AQF certificate III and above industry

recognised training; • improve access to higher levels of training in regional and remote locations (where

applicable); • deliver culturally inclusive, flexible and place-based training, customised to meet the

specific needs of local communities; • strengthen training to employment outcomes for Aboriginal people; • increase the use of recognition of prior learning to create more pathways to

advance the training and career opportunities of Aboriginal people; • increase the participation of Aboriginal adult learners in life long learning programs

that enhance life skills, community participation and employability; • case-manage and mentor Aboriginal trainees to link them to employment services; • develop strategies that address adult literacy and numeracy and re-entry into further

education and training; • introduce a case management approach for identified students and improve

interagency partnerships; • provide cultural awareness professional learning for all staff; • ensure Aboriginal representation on the Provider’s key strategic committees and

build relationships that empower Aboriginal people to participate in learning.

Aboriginal Training Plan (ATP) To enable effective contribution towards achievement across the above activity areas and to address priorities outlined in Training WA: Planning for the Future 2009 - 2018, the Training Provider must prepare an Aboriginal Training Plan for 2010. The format of the Plan may be consistent with previous years and/or the Provider’s current approach. The Plan must be endorsed by the Provider’s local Aboriginal Education, Employment and Training Committee (AEETC) and is to be made available upon request, to the Department.

Aboriginal Education Employment and Training Committee (AEETC) The Provider shall ensure that a local and viable AEETC is in place to advise, plan, monitor and exchange information relating to the implementation of initiatives and strategies as detailed within the ATP, to achieve outcomes against the activities listed in this schedule. Composition of AEETCs must include Aboriginal people, with membership drawn from the Provider and the Aboriginal community. The AEETC must meet a minimum of four times per year.

The program must be delivered in accordance with the following requirements:

1. The aim of the program is to provide tutorial assistance to students who are enrolled in a course of study that will lead to attainment of a certificate III or above qualification. Students may also be assisted whilst studying for a certificate I or II qualification, only if those units are being undertaken as prerequisite work, and are part of a course of study leading to the attainment of a certificate III or above qualification.

2. The maximum hours of tuition available to students participating in the scheme will be three (3) hours per week and depending on local circumstances the scheme can be applied to satisfy individual needs through “cluster group” arrangements.

3. The Provider is to establish arrangements and processes that allow for ready access to a range of potential tutors and to provide appropriate training/instruction for tutors as required.

4. Application of the Scheme should be consistent with the College Aboriginal Training Plan (ATP).

5. Each incident of utilisation of the program will be endorsed by the College Aboriginal “Support Unit” or its equivalent.

6. The Provider is required to determine tutor rates of pay commensurate with experience and qualifications of the tutor and the tuition is to be supplementary to mainstream teaching efforts and can not be used to substitute or replace such efforts.

7. The Provider is to customise delivery of tuition to obtain optimal benefits for individual students.

8. The services will be delivered within the term of this Agreement stated in Section 3.

9. Tutors must be 18 years of age or older with suitable qualifications or have relevant experience to provide the required tuition.

10. Tutors must have a National Police Certificate criminal records check and Working with Children Clearance.

SCHEDULE 2 FUNDING: COLLEGE TRAINING PROFILE

1. Funding

a) Table 4 details the funding to be provided by the Minister for the delivery of the College Training Profile.

b) The basis of funding Advanced Skill Lecturer, Principal Lecturer and Salary Maintenance staff is listed in Table 5.

c) No funding will be provided by the Department of Treasury and Finance to cover the cost of the 27th pay that will occur in 2015. Providers should ensure that appropriate provision is made in the preceding years to cover the cost of the additional pay when it falls due.

2. Payment schedule

a) Subject to the Provider meeting all of the terms in this Agreement, the Minister will pay the Provider in fortnightly disbursements in accordance with a schedule issued by the Minister.

b) The Provider’s refund liability will be determined in the second quarter of 2011.

c) If a refund is payable, the Provider will pay the refund by the date stated on an invoice supplied by the Minister.

3. Refund

a) Where the Provider fails to meet the targets in Schedule 1, a refund will be payable to the Minister. In specific circumstances detailed below a credit may be payable to the Provider. The Total Refund is calculated as follows:

Total Refund

= Refund for EBT, Skills Shortage Institutional and General Institutional

Plus or Minus Additional Items Refund or Credit

Plus or Minus Fees Refund or Credit

Minus EBT Credit

Minus Skills Shortage Credit

The Provider is not eligible for additional funding where the EBT and Skills Shortage Credits are greater than the other refund items payable by the Provider.

The following clauses explain the components of the refund calculation.

b) The refund will be calculated separately for each of the following categories of delivery:

2010 Delivery and Performance Agreement between the Minister for Training and Workforce Development and Polytechnic West

Page 21

• EBT;

• Skills Shortage Institutional (SSI); and

• General Institutional (GI).

The Skills Shortage Matrix (Table 10) defines the Target SCH for each of these categories of delivery.

c) The refund for EBT, SSI and GI is calculated as follows:

i Reported SCH is sourced from the Provider’s final enrolment statistics data submission on an end of study basis. This is determined from the AVETMISS data collection in accordance with the following criteria:

• Fund source Id – State = 10;

• Enrolment category Id = C or S;

• Outcome identifier not 53, 54, 60 or 70; and

• Enrolment activity end date between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2010;

ii Validated SCH are determined by reducing Reported SCH by that portion of the Provider’s Invalid Enrolment (IE) rate in excess of three percent;

iii Funded SCH are determined by reducing Validated SCH for any delivery that exceeds the agreed tolerances for profile management (see below);

iv Shortfall SCH is determined by subtracting Funded SCH from Target SCH; and

v A Shortfall Refund is calculated for each category of delivery as: Shortfall SCH x Unit cost.

d) The Unit Cost for EBT delivery and IBT delivery is stated in Table 4.

e) Funded SCH for EBT is calculated by assessing the Provider’s total Validated SCH for EBT against the Provider’s total Target SCH for EBT. The following rules apply to the calculation of Funded SCH for EBT delivery:

i Where Validated SCH is greater than Target SCH, Funded SCH will be reduced to equal Target SCH. Any surplus Validated SCH for EBT delivery above the Target SCH will create an EBT Credit calculated on the Unit Cost for Employment Based Training.

ii Otherwise, Funded SCH equals Validated SCH.

f) Funded SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional is calculated by assessing the Provider’s total Validated SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional against the

2010 Delivery and Performance Agreement between the Minister for Training and Workforce Development and Polytechnic West

Page 22

Provider’s total Target SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional. The following rules apply to the calculation of Funded SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional delivery:

i Where Validated SCH is greater than Target SCH, Funded SCH will be reduced to equal Target SCH. Any surplus Validated SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional delivery above the Target SCH will create a Skills Shortage Credit calculated on the Unit Cost for Institutional Based Training.

ii Otherwise, Funded SCH equals Validated SCH.

g) Funded SCH for General Institutional is calculated by assessing the Provider’s Validated SCH for General Institutional in each Industry Group against the Target SCH for General Institutional.

h) The following General Institutional SCH are excluded from Funded SCH for General Institutional:

i Any Validated SCH above 500 SCH for an Industry Group which contains no Institutional target;

ii Any Validated SCH above the target for General Institutional training in an Industry Group that is subject to a ‘hard’ ceiling as set out in Table 6;

iii Any Validated SCH in Industry Groups without a ‘hard’ ceiling, where delivery exceeds the target for General Institutional by more than 40,000 SCH (for Industry Groups with an IBT target of greater than 200,000 SCH) or 20,000 SCH (for all other Industry Groups).

iv VET for schools IBT delivery above the level stated in Table 2;

v VET for school students IBT delivery in courses and qualifications excluded from this delivery under the protocol in Schedule 4;

vi IBT delivery to prisoners above the level stated in Table 2;

vii Any Validated SCH above the ceiling on other training in certificate I and below courses as set out in Table 2; and

viii Any Validated SCH above the sum of the ceilings on all certificate I and below courses as set out in Table 2.

i) An Additional Items Refund is calculated on each of the following:

i Funding provided for GROH housing in excess of actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider;

ii Funding provided for maintenance, minor works, equipment and the Technology Infrastructure Replacement Strategy in excess of the actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider against approved expenditures; and

2010 Delivery and Performance Agreement between the Minister for Training and Workforce Development and Polytechnic West

Page 23

iii Funding provided for any other specific projects in excess of actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider.

j) An Additional Items Credit will apply if funding provided for GROH housing is less than actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider.

k) A Fees Refund or Credit is based on:

i the funding for resource fees associated with delivery to school students compared to the funding justified against the SCH delivered in accordance with this Agreement; and

ii the funding for job seeker, RPL and childcare fee concessions compared to the cost of these concessions based on final reported enrolments.

SCHEDULE 4 PROTOCOL FOR VET IN SCHOOLS

The aim of this protocol is to ensure the most efficient and effective use of public resources in the implementation of the VET in Schools initiative. The Refund provisions in Schedule 2 identify the circumstances where a refund is payable for a breach of this protocol.

VET in Schools programs allow students studying towards the Western Australian Certificate of Education to gain a partial or complete VET qualification. Profile funded VET in Schools is a targeted program that aims to enhance existing VET in Schools delivery by providing:

• a pathway to higher level qualifications; • training that is not within the scope of registration of an RTO school; and/or • access to equipment and expertise not available in the school context. Profile funded VET in Schools consists of the School Apprenticeship Link and delivery to government and non-government schools subject to the following conditions:

School Apprenticeship Link (SAL) The School Apprenticeship Link (SAL) program supports the achievement of the Government’s targets for employment based training and school retention. The approach is aimed at increasing young people’s participation in education, employment and training and in particular in achieving a successful transition from school to an apprenticeship.

SAL is a school-based transition program delivered by a registered training organisation and available for students in Years 11 and 12. There are two SAL options in various trades; a two semester family of trades program and a three semester trade specific pre-apprenticeship.

The SAL Family of Trades model allows students to experience a range of trades within an industry to assist them in making an informed choice when selecting their apprenticeship.

The SAL pre-apprenticeship model accommodates students who are clear on the trade they want to undertake and provides for direct credit on entry into an apprenticeship. SAL pre-apprenticeships are identical to mainstream pre-apprenticeships.

SAL placements funded at each college are determined by the Department. The Department allocates funded places for both government and non-government schools. Providers must seek approval from the Department for any change in the number of SAL places.

Profile funded SAL delivery should be included in the Provider’s profile funded training and reported via AVETMISS. Student enrolments must be coded as follows:

d) participating students have demonstrated a commitment to the particular vocational program and an understanding of the requirements;

e) the training effort is consistent with: • the strategic priorities as outlined in the State Training Profile; and • Education District planning priorities.

f) VET in Schools is not to include delivery in courses or qualifications classified in the industry groups 19A to 19E. However, delivery in the following qualifications is permitted: • Certificate of Applied Vocational Study Skills (CAVSS) provided the delivery

is in accordance with the CAVSS Protocol; and • Certificate I in Leadership Development.

SCHEDULE 5 SCHOOL-BASED APPRENTICESHIPS AND TRAINEESHIPS

School-based apprenticeships and traineeships provide an opportunity for full time secondary students enrolled in school to begin preparing themselves for a career. They allow students studying towards the Western Australian Certificate of Education to gain a nationally recognised vocational education and training qualification. Public funding for school-based apprenticeship and traineeship delivery: • may be utilised for the component of training delivered and assessed by the

Provider; • is available to students enrolled in both government and non-government schools; • is to be achieved within the overall bottom line employment based delivery targets

established for the Provider; and • must be in accordance with the Guidelines and Working Principles for School-based

Apprenticeships and Traineeships in Western Australia and the Apprenticeship and Traineeship Policy Guidelines.

School-based apprenticeship and traineeship delivery should be included in the Provider’s profile funded training as reported via AVETMISS. Student enrolments must be coded as follows:

SCHEDULE 6 POLICY FOR RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING

The Minister will fund the student curriculum hours (SCH) associated with RPL assessments at the same rate as other forms of training delivery.

Clients may receive RPL for one qualification per semester. Where a qualification has mandated pre-requisite units of competency, RPL for these units will be funded. The RTO should package the pre-requisite units to be part of the qualification requirements.

Excessive reporting of unsuccessful RPL will be monitored and, if necessary, funding constraints may be applied to future delivery and performance agreements.

The SCH associated with the RPL assessments for any one client each semester should not exceed the SCH required for a full qualification. RPL reported for each client will be monitored and funding constraints may be applied to future delivery and performance agreements where excessive RPL has been reported for a client.

Fee-for-Service arrangements should be established where the aim of a process for RPL is to:

a) prepare school teachers to deliver VET qualifications; or

b) assess the competencies of a government employee, where those competencies form part of the government agency’s conditions of employment, or are a requirement for promotion.

To support Training WA’s goal of increasing by 33% the number of recognition of prior learning outcomes by 2012, Providers are required to:

a) nominate a single contact point for RPL referrals;

b) grow RPL delivery above the level reported in 2009; and

c) increase RPL in trade areas.

SCHEDULE 7 PROTOCOL FOR PRISON DELIVERY

In support of the National Strategy for Vocational Education and Training for Adult Prisoners and Offenders in Australia, the Department of Corrective Services (DCS) and the Department of Training and Workforce Development, in liaison with Providers, are developing a joint planning process and standard protocols for prison based delivery. The aim is to establish a framework for the provision of high standard vocational education and training for offenders in WA prisons.

As part of the on-going process of developing cooperative working arrangements between Providers and the DCS, the following protocols will apply in 2010:

• The Provider will develop planned prison delivery in consultation with DCS; • The Provider will work with DCS in the development of mutually agreed business

rules for delivery in a prison. Once agreed, these business rules will form the basis of a memorandum of understanding between the Provider and DCS;

• The Provider will keep DCS informed of the actual delivery through regular reports and meetings; and

• The Provider gives permission for the Department to release information to DCS on the Provider’s actual and planned delivery across all years associated with prisoners. Such information is not to include individual student information.

SCHEDULE 8 STATE TRAINING QUALITY COMMITTEE (STQC) FUNDING FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

This protocol provides a basis for the use and evaluation of professional development (PD) funded through the STQC program. STQC funded professional development (PD) activities must be additional to core PD activities.

The Minister will provide the STQC funding as identified in Table 4, subject to the submission of an acceptable PD Plan. The Provider will be required to repay any STQC funds that have not been spent on approved PD activities.

The purpose of these guidelines is:

• to provide information on the requirements and content of the annual PD Plan and report to be submitted to the VET Programs and Development Branch of the Department for STQC funded PD activities; and

• to ensure there is clear evidence in the reporting process that learning and development activities are producing measurable improvements in the quality of teaching, learning and assessment in TAFEWA colleges.

To ensure there is a strong focus on teaching, learning and assessment of lecturers, it will be necessary to develop strategies for the maximum number of practitioners to benefit from the funding recognising that there is a mutual responsibility for colleges to provide opportunities for PD.

Requirements

The Provider shall develop, submit and implement an annual PD Plan that: • aligns with STQC’s key directions for the current calendar year. (These directions

will be supplied by the VET Programs and Development Branch of the Department.) • demonstrates how STQC funding is providing PD opportunities over and above

existing and on-going PD. • Clearly identifies:

o programs/initiatives/projects/courses funded by STQC which will take place; o how PD activities will be organised; and o how the success of the activities will be monitored and measured with evidence

of improved teaching, learning and assessment practices.

The Provider shall submit an annual report for the calendar year that includes:

• details of the programs/ initiatives/projects/ courses funded by STQC with a demonstration of how this funding provided PD support over and above on-going PD;

• an evaluation, including performance indicators, of the effectiveness of the STQC funding support, and if appropriate a rationale for adjustments to original plan; and

• an acquittal statement of how the funds have been allocated, signed by the Managing Director, showing funds expended on the program in the annual PD Plan.

SECTION I ABOUT THIS AGREEMENT

1. Parties This is an Agreement between the Minister for Training and Workforce Development (“the Minister”) and South West Regional College of TAFE (“the Provider”).

2. Interpretation In this Agreement, unless the context indicates otherwise:

a) headings are for reference only;

b) a reference to a person includes a reference to any corporation or entity that is recognised by law;

c) plural words include the singular and vice versa; and

SCHEDULE 2 FUNDING: COLLEGE TRAINING PROFILE

1. Funding

a) Table 4 details the funding to be provided by the Minister for the delivery of the College Training Profile.

b) The basis of funding Advanced Skill Lecturer, Principal Lecturer and Salary Maintenance staff is listed in Table 5.

c) No funding will be provided by the Department of Treasury and Finance to cover the cost of the 27th pay that will occur in 2015. Providers should ensure that appropriate provision is made in the preceding years to cover the cost of the additional pay when it falls due.

2. Payment schedule

a) Subject to the Provider meeting all of the terms in this Agreement, the Minister will pay the Provider in fortnightly disbursements in accordance with a schedule issued by the Minister.

b) The Provider’s refund liability will be determined in the second quarter of 2011.

c) If a refund is payable, the Provider will pay the refund by the date stated on an invoice supplied by the Minister.

3. Refund

a) Where the Provider fails to meet the targets in Schedule 1, a refund will be payable to the Minister. In specific circumstances detailed below a credit may be payable to the Provider. The Total Refund is calculated as follows:

Total Refund

= Refund for EBT, Skills Shortage Institutional and General Institutional

Plus or Minus Additional Items Refund or Credit

Plus or Minus Fees Refund or Credit

Minus EBT Credit

Minus Skills Shortage Credit

The Provider is not eligible for additional funding where the EBT and Skills Shortage Credits are greater than the other refund items payable by the Provider.

The following clauses explain the components of the refund calculation.

b) The refund will be calculated separately for each of the following categories of delivery:

2010 Delivery and Performance Agreement between the Minister for Training and Workforce Development and South West Regional College of TAFE

Page 21

• EBT;

• Skills Shortage Institutional (SSI); and

• General Institutional (GI).

The Skills Shortage Matrix (Table 10) defines the Target SCH for each of these categories of delivery.

c) The refund for EBT, SSI and GI is calculated as follows:

i Reported SCH is sourced from the Provider’s final enrolment statistics data submission on an end of study basis. This is determined from the AVETMISS data collection in accordance with the following criteria:

• Fund source Id – State = 10;

• Enrolment category Id = C or S;

• Outcome identifier not 53, 54, 60 or 70; and

• Enrolment activity end date between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2010;

ii Validated SCH are determined by reducing Reported SCH by that portion of the Provider’s Invalid Enrolment (IE) rate in excess of three percent;

iii Funded SCH are determined by reducing Validated SCH for any delivery that exceeds the agreed tolerances for profile management (see below);

iv Shortfall SCH is determined by subtracting Funded SCH from Target SCH; and

v A Shortfall Refund is calculated for each category of delivery as: Shortfall SCH x Unit cost.

d) The Unit Cost for EBT delivery and IBT delivery is stated in Table 4.

e) Funded SCH for EBT is calculated by assessing the Provider’s total Validated SCH for EBT against the Provider’s total Target SCH for EBT. The following rules apply to the calculation of Funded SCH for EBT delivery:

i Where Validated SCH is greater than Target SCH, Funded SCH will be reduced to equal Target SCH. Any surplus Validated SCH for EBT delivery above the Target SCH will create an EBT Credit calculated on the Unit Cost for Employment Based Training.

ii Otherwise, Funded SCH equals Validated SCH.

f) Funded SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional is calculated by assessing the Provider’s total Validated SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional against the

2010 Delivery and Performance Agreement between the Minister for Training and Workforce Development and South West Regional College of TAFE

Page 22

Provider’s total Target SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional. The following rules apply to the calculation of Funded SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional delivery:

i Where Validated SCH is greater than Target SCH, Funded SCH will be reduced to equal Target SCH. Any surplus Validated SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional delivery above the Target SCH will create a Skills Shortage Credit calculated on the Unit Cost for Institutional Based Training.

ii Otherwise, Funded SCH equals Validated SCH.

g) Funded SCH for General Institutional is calculated by assessing the Provider’s Validated SCH for General Institutional in each Industry Group against the Target SCH for General Institutional.

h) The following General Institutional SCH are excluded from Funded SCH for General Institutional:

i Any Validated SCH above 500 SCH for an Industry Group which contains no Institutional target;

ii Any Validated SCH above the target for General Institutional training in an Industry Group that is subject to a ‘hard’ ceiling as set out in Table 6;

iii Any Validated SCH in Industry Groups without a ‘hard’ ceiling, where delivery exceeds the target for General Institutional by more than 40,000 SCH (for Industry Groups with an IBT target of greater than 200,000 SCH) or 20,000 SCH (for all other Industry Groups).

iv VET for schools IBT delivery above the level stated in Table 2;

v VET for school students IBT delivery in courses and qualifications excluded from this delivery under the protocol in Schedule 4;

vi IBT delivery to prisoners above the level stated in Table 2;

vii Any Validated SCH above the ceiling on other training in certificate I and below courses as set out in Table 2; and

viii Any Validated SCH above the sum of the ceilings on all certificate I and below courses as set out in Table 2.

i) An Additional Items Refund is calculated on each of the following:

i Funding provided for GROH housing in excess of actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider;

ii Funding provided for maintenance, minor works, equipment and the Technology Infrastructure Replacement Strategy in excess of the actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider against approved expenditures; and

2010 Delivery and Performance Agreement between the Minister for Training and Workforce Development and South West Regional College of TAFE

Page 23

iii Funding provided for any other specific projects in excess of actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider.

j) An Additional Items Credit will apply if funding provided for GROH housing is less than actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider.

k) A Fees Refund or Credit is based on:

i the funding for resource fees associated with delivery to school students compared to the funding justified against the SCH delivered in accordance with this Agreement; and

SCHEDULE 4 PROTOCOL FOR VET IN SCHOOLS

The aim of this protocol is to ensure the most efficient and effective use of public resources in the implementation of the VET in Schools initiative. The Refund provisions in Schedule 2 identify the circumstances where a refund is payable for a breach of this protocol.

VET in Schools programs allow students studying towards the Western Australian Certificate of Education to gain a partial or complete VET qualification. Profile funded VET in Schools is a targeted program that aims to enhance existing VET in Schools delivery by providing:

• a pathway to higher level qualifications; • training that is not within the scope of registration of an RTO school; and/or • access to equipment and expertise not available in the school context. Profile funded VET in Schools consists of the School Apprenticeship Link and delivery to government and non-government schools subject to the following conditions:

School Apprenticeship Link (SAL) The School Apprenticeship Link (SAL) program supports the achievement of the Government’s targets for employment based training and school retention. The approach is aimed at increasing young people’s participation in education, employment and training and in particular in achieving a successful transition from school to an apprenticeship.

SAL is a school-based transition program delivered by a registered training organisation and available for students in Years 11 and 12. There are two SAL options in various trades; a two semester family of trades program and a three semester trade specific pre-apprenticeship.

The SAL Family of Trades model allows students to experience a range of trades within an industry to assist them in making an informed choice when selecting their apprenticeship.

The SAL pre-apprenticeship model accommodates students who are clear on the trade they want to undertake and provides for direct credit on entry into an apprenticeship. SAL pre-apprenticeships are identical to mainstream pre-apprenticeships.

SAL placements funded at each college are determined by the Department. The Department allocates funded places for both government and non-government schools. Providers must seek approval from the Department for any change in the number of SAL places.

Profile funded SAL delivery should be included in the Provider’s profile funded training and reported via AVETMISS. Student enrolments must be coded as follows:

SCHEDULE 5 SCHOOL-BASED APPRENTICESHIPS AND TRAINEESHIPS

School-based apprenticeships and traineeships provide an opportunity for full time secondary students enrolled in school to begin preparing themselves for a career. They allow students studying towards the Western Australian Certificate of Education to gain a nationally recognised vocational education and training qualification. Public funding for school-based apprenticeship and traineeship delivery: • may be utilised for the component of training delivered and assessed by the

Provider; • is available to students enrolled in both government and non-government schools; • is to be achieved within the overall bottom line employment based delivery targets

established for the Provider; and • must be in accordance with the Guidelines and Working Principles for School-based

Apprenticeships and Traineeships in Western Australia and the Apprenticeship and Traineeship Policy Guidelines.

School-based apprenticeship and traineeship delivery should be included in the Provider’s profile funded training as reported via AVETMISS. Student enrolments must be coded as follows:

SCHEDULE 6 POLICY FOR RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING

The Minister will fund the student curriculum hours (SCH) associated with RPL assessments at the same rate as other forms of training delivery.

Clients may receive RPL for one qualification per semester. Where a qualification has mandated pre-requisite units of competency, RPL for these units will be funded. The RTO should package the pre-requisite units to be part of the qualification requirements.

Excessive reporting of unsuccessful RPL will be monitored and, if necessary, funding constraints may be applied to future delivery and performance agreements.

The SCH associated with the RPL assessments for any one client each semester should not exceed the SCH required for a full qualification. RPL reported for each client will be monitored and funding constraints may be applied to future delivery and performance agreements where excessive RPL has been reported for a client.

Fee-for-Service arrangements should be established where the aim of a process for RPL is to:

a) prepare school teachers to deliver VET qualifications; or

b) assess the competencies of a government employee, where those competencies form part of the government agency’s conditions of employment, or are a requirement for promotion.

To support Training WA’s goal of increasing by 33% the number of recognition of prior learning outcomes by 2012, Providers are required to:

a) nominate a single contact point for RPL referrals;

b) grow RPL delivery above the level reported in 2009; and

c) increase RPL in trade areas.

SCHEDULE 7 PROTOCOL FOR PRISON DELIVERY

In support of the National Strategy for Vocational Education and Training for Adult Prisoners and Offenders in Australia, the Department of Corrective Services (DCS) and the Department of Training and Workforce Development, in liaison with Providers, are developing a joint planning process and standard protocols for prison based delivery. The aim is to establish a framework for the provision of high standard vocational education and training for offenders in WA prisons.

As part of the on-going process of developing cooperative working arrangements between Providers and the DCS, the following protocols will apply in 2010:

• The Provider will develop planned prison delivery in consultation with DCS; • The Provider will work with DCS in the development of mutually agreed business

rules for delivery in a prison. Once agreed, these business rules will form the basis of a memorandum of understanding between the Provider and DCS;

• The Provider will keep DCS informed of the actual delivery through regular reports and meetings; and

• The Provider gives permission for the Department to release information to DCS on the Provider’s actual and planned delivery across all years associated with prisoners. Such information is not to include individual student information.

SCHEDULE 8 STATE TRAINING QUALITY COMMITTEE (STQC) FUNDING FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

This protocol provides a basis for the use and evaluation of professional development (PD) funded through the STQC program. STQC funded professional development (PD) activities must be additional to core PD activities.

The Minister will provide the STQC funding as identified in Table 4, subject to the submission of an acceptable PD Plan. The Provider will be required to repay any STQC funds that have not been spent on approved PD activities.

The purpose of these guidelines is:

• to provide information on the requirements and content of the annual PD Plan and report to be submitted to the VET Programs and Development Branch of the Department for STQC funded PD activities; and

• to ensure there is clear evidence in the reporting process that learning and development activities are producing measurable improvements in the quality of teaching, learning and assessment in TAFEWA colleges.

To ensure there is a strong focus on teaching, learning and assessment of lecturers, it will be necessary to develop strategies for the maximum number of practitioners to benefit from the funding recognising that there is a mutual responsibility for colleges to provide opportunities for PD.

Requirements

The Provider shall develop, submit and implement an annual PD Plan that: • aligns with STQC’s key directions for the current calendar year. (These directions

will be supplied by the VET Programs and Development Branch of the Department.) • demonstrates how STQC funding is providing PD opportunities over and above

existing and on-going PD. • Clearly identifies:

o programs/initiatives/projects/courses funded by STQC which will take place; o how PD activities will be organised; and o how the success of the activities will be monitored and measured with evidence

of improved teaching, learning and assessment practices.

The Provider shall submit an annual report for the calendar year that includes:

• details of the programs/ initiatives/projects/ courses funded by STQC with a demonstration of how this funding provided PD support over and above on-going PD;

• an evaluation, including performance indicators, of the effectiveness of the STQC funding support, and if appropriate a rationale for adjustments to original plan; and

• an acquittal statement of how the funds have been allocated, signed by the Managing Director, showing funds expended on the program in the annual PD Plan.

Timeline

Submit PD Plan Last Friday in February

Submit annual report First Friday in December

c) plural words include the singular and vice versa; and

d) the following terms have specific meanings assigned to them:

“Aboriginal” In describing the first Australians, the terms Aboriginal; Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander; and Indigenous are used interchangeably to maintain accuracy with respect to other preceding documents and initiatives, and the term Aboriginal, more broadly used here, should be taken to mean Aboriginal; Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander; and Indigenous peoples.

SCHEDULE 2 FUNDING: COLLEGE TRAINING PROFILE

1. Funding

a) Table 4 details the funding to be provided by the Minister for the delivery of the College Training Profile.

b) The basis of funding Advanced Skill Lecturer, Principal Lecturer and Salary Maintenance staff is listed in Table 5.

c) No funding will be provided by the Department of Treasury and Finance to cover the cost of the 27th pay that will occur in 2015. Providers should ensure that appropriate provision is made in the preceding years to cover the cost of the additional pay when it falls due.

2. Payment schedule

a) Subject to the Provider meeting all of the terms in this Agreement, the Minister will pay the Provider in fortnightly disbursements in accordance with a schedule issued by the Minister.

b) The Provider’s refund liability will be determined in the second quarter of 2011.

c) If a refund is payable, the Provider will pay the refund by the date stated on an invoice supplied by the Minister.

3. Refund

a) Where the Provider fails to meet the targets in Schedule 1, a refund will be payable to the Minister. In specific circumstances detailed below a credit may be payable to the Provider. The Total Refund is calculated as follows:

Total Refund

= Refund for EBT, Skills Shortage Institutional and General Institutional

Plus or Minus Additional Items Refund or Credit

Plus or Minus Fees Refund or Credit

Minus EBT Credit

Minus Skills Shortage Credit

The Provider is not eligible for additional funding where the EBT and Skills Shortage Credits are greater than the other refund items payable by the Provider.

The following clauses explain the components of the refund calculation.

b) The refund will be calculated separately for each of the following categories of delivery:

2010 Delivery and Performance Agreement between the Minister for Training and Workforce Development and West Coast Institute of Training

Page 21

• EBT;

• Skills Shortage Institutional (SSI); and

• General Institutional (GI).

The Skills Shortage Matrix (Table 10) defines the Target SCH for each of these categories of delivery.

c) The refund for EBT, SSI and GI is calculated as follows:

i Reported SCH is sourced from the Provider’s final enrolment statistics data submission on an end of study basis. This is determined from the AVETMISS data collection in accordance with the following criteria:

• Fund source Id – State = 10;

• Enrolment category Id = C or S;

• Outcome identifier not 53, 54, 60 or 70; and

• Enrolment activity end date between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2010;

ii Validated SCH are determined by reducing Reported SCH by that portion of the Provider’s Invalid Enrolment (IE) rate in excess of three percent;

iii Funded SCH are determined by reducing Validated SCH for any delivery that exceeds the agreed tolerances for profile management (see below);

iv Shortfall SCH is determined by subtracting Funded SCH from Target SCH; and

v A Shortfall Refund is calculated for each category of delivery as: Shortfall SCH x Unit cost.

d) The Unit Cost for EBT delivery and IBT delivery is stated in Table 4.

e) Funded SCH for EBT is calculated by assessing the Provider’s total Validated SCH for EBT against the Provider’s total Target SCH for EBT. The following rules apply to the calculation of Funded SCH for EBT delivery:

i Where Validated SCH is greater than Target SCH, Funded SCH will be reduced to equal Target SCH. Any surplus Validated SCH for EBT delivery above the Target SCH will create an EBT Credit calculated on the Unit Cost for Employment Based Training.

ii Otherwise, Funded SCH equals Validated SCH.

f) Funded SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional is calculated by assessing the Provider’s total Validated SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional against the

2010 Delivery and Performance Agreement between the Minister for Training and Workforce Development and West Coast Institute of Training

Page 22

Provider’s total Target SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional. The following rules apply to the calculation of Funded SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional delivery:

i Where Validated SCH is greater than Target SCH, Funded SCH will be reduced to equal Target SCH. Any surplus Validated SCH for Skills Shortage Institutional delivery above the Target SCH will create a Skills Shortage Credit calculated on the Unit Cost for Institutional Based Training.

ii Otherwise, Funded SCH equals Validated SCH.

g) Funded SCH for General Institutional is calculated by assessing the Provider’s Validated SCH for General Institutional in each Industry Group against the Target SCH for General Institutional.

h) The following General Institutional SCH are excluded from Funded SCH for General Institutional:

i Any Validated SCH above 500 SCH for an Industry Group which contains no Institutional target;

ii Any Validated SCH above the target for General Institutional training in an Industry Group that is subject to a ‘hard’ ceiling as set out in Table 6;

iii Any Validated SCH in Industry Groups without a ‘hard’ ceiling, where delivery exceeds the target for General Institutional by more than 40,000 SCH (for Industry Groups with an IBT target of greater than 200,000 SCH) or 20,000 SCH (for all other Industry Groups).

iv VET for schools IBT delivery above the level stated in Table 2;

v VET for school students IBT delivery in courses and qualifications excluded from this delivery under the protocol in Schedule 4;

vi IBT delivery to prisoners above the level stated in Table 2;

vii Any Validated SCH above the ceiling on other training in certificate I and below courses as set out in Table 2; and

viii Any Validated SCH above the sum of the ceilings on all certificate I and below courses as set out in Table 2.

i) An Additional Items Refund is calculated on each of the following:

i Funding provided for GROH housing in excess of actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider;

ii Funding provided for maintenance, minor works, equipment and the Technology Infrastructure Replacement Strategy in excess of the actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider against approved expenditures; and

2010 Delivery and Performance Agreement between the Minister for Training and Workforce Development and West Coast Institute of Training

Page 23

iii Funding provided for any other specific projects in excess of actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider.

j) An Additional Items Credit will apply if funding provided for GROH housing is less than actual expenditure acquitted by the Provider.

k) A Fees Refund or Credit is based on:

i the funding for resource fees associated with delivery to school students compared to the funding justified against the SCH delivered in accordance with this Agreement; and

ii the funding for job seeker, RPL and childcare fee concessions compared to the cost of these concessions based on final reported enrolments.

SCHEDULE 4 PROTOCOL FOR VET IN SCHOOLS

The aim of this protocol is to ensure the most efficient and effective use of public resources in the implementation of the VET in Schools initiative. The Refund provisions in Schedule 2 identify the circumstances where a refund is payable for a breach of this protocol.

VET in Schools programs allow students studying towards the Western Australian Certificate of Education to gain a partial or complete VET qualification. Profile funded VET in Schools is a targeted program that aims to enhance existing VET in Schools delivery by providing:

• a pathway to higher level qualifications; • training that is not within the scope of registration of an RTO school; and/or • access to equipment and expertise not available in the school context. Profile funded VET in Schools consists of the School Apprenticeship Link and delivery to government and non-government schools subject to the following conditions:

School Apprenticeship Link (SAL) The School Apprenticeship Link (SAL) program supports the achievement of the Government’s targets for employment based training and school retention. The approach is aimed at increasing young people’s participation in education, employment and training and in particular in achieving a successful transition from school to an apprenticeship.

SAL is a school-based transition program delivered by a registered training organisation and available for students in Years 11 and 12. There are two SAL options in various trades; a two semester family of trades program and a three semester trade specific pre-apprenticeship.

The SAL Family of Trades model allows students to experience a range of trades within an industry to assist them in making an informed choice when selecting their apprenticeship.

The SAL pre-apprenticeship model accommodates students who are clear on the trade they want to undertake and provides for direct credit on entry into an apprenticeship. SAL pre-apprenticeships are identical to mainstream pre-apprenticeships.

SAL placements funded at each college are determined by the Department. The Department allocates funded places for both government and non-government schools. Providers must seek approval from the Department for any change in the number of SAL places.

Profile funded SAL delivery should be included in the Provider’s profile funded training and reported via AVETMISS. Student enrolments must be coded as follows:

SCHEDULE 6 POLICY FOR RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING

The Minister will fund the student curriculum hours (SCH) associated with RPL assessments at the same rate as other forms of training delivery.

Clients may receive RPL for one qualification per semester. Where a qualification has mandated pre-requisite units of competency, RPL for these units will be funded. The RTO should package the pre-requisite units to be part of the qualification requirements.

Excessive reporting of unsuccessful RPL will be monitored and, if necessary, funding constraints may be applied to future delivery and performance agreements.

The SCH associated with the RPL assessments for any one client each semester should not exceed the SCH required for a full qualification. RPL reported for each client will be monitored and funding constraints may be applied to future delivery and performance agreements where excessive RPL has been reported for a client.

Fee-for-Service arrangements should be established where the aim of a process for RPL is to:

a) prepare school teachers to deliver VET qualifications; or

b) assess the competencies of a government employee, where those competencies form part of the government agency’s conditions of employment, or are a requirement for promotion.

To support Training WA’s goal of increasing by 33% the number of recognition of prior learning outcomes by 2012, Providers are required to:

a) nominate a single contact point for RPL referrals;

b) grow RPL delivery above the level reported in 2009; and

c) increase RPL in trade areas.

SCHEDULE 7 PROTOCOL FOR PRISON DELIVERY

In support of the National Strategy for Vocational Education and Training for Adult Prisoners and Offenders in Australia, the Department of Corrective Services (DCS) and the Department of Training and Workforce Development, in liaison with Providers, are developing a joint planning process and standard protocols for prison based delivery. The aim is to establish a framework for the provision of high standard vocational education and training for offenders in WA prisons.

As part of the on-going process of developing cooperative working arrangements between Providers and the DCS, the following protocols will apply in 2010:

• The Provider will develop planned prison delivery in consultation with DCS; • The Provider will work with DCS in the development of mutually agreed business

rules for delivery in a prison. Once agreed, these business rules will form the basis of a memorandum of understanding between the Provider and DCS;

• The Provider will keep DCS informed of the actual delivery through regular reports and meetings; and

• The Provider gives permission for the Department to release information to DCS on the Provider’s actual and planned delivery across all years associated with prisoners. Such information is not to include individual student information.

SCHEDULE 8 STATE TRAINING QUALITY COMMITTEE (STQC) FUNDING FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

This protocol provides a basis for the use and evaluation of professional development (PD) funded through the STQC program. STQC funded professional development (PD) activities must be additional to core PD activities.

The Minister will provide the STQC funding as identified in Table 4, subject to the submission of an acceptable PD Plan. The Provider will be required to repay any STQC funds that have not been spent on approved PD activities.

The purpose of these guidelines is:

• to provide information on the requirements and content of the annual PD Plan and report to be submitted to the VET Programs and Development Branch of the Department for STQC funded PD activities; and

• to ensure there is clear evidence in the reporting process that learning and development activities are producing measurable improvements in the quality of teaching, learning and assessment in TAFEWA colleges.

To ensure there is a strong focus on teaching, learning and assessment of lecturers, it will be necessary to develop strategies for the maximum number of practitioners to benefit from the funding recognising that there is a mutual responsibility for colleges to provide opportunities for PD.

Requirements

The Provider shall develop, submit and implement an annual PD Plan that: • aligns with STQC’s key directions for the current calendar year. (These directions

will be supplied by the VET Programs and Development Branch of the Department.) • demonstrates how STQC funding is providing PD opportunities over and above

existing and on-going PD. • Clearly identifies:

o programs/initiatives/projects/courses funded by STQC which will take place; o how PD activities will be organised; and o how the success of the activities will be monitored and measured with evidence

of improved teaching, learning and assessment practices.

The Provider shall submit an annual report for the calendar year that includes:

• details of the programs/ initiatives/projects/ courses funded by STQC with a demonstration of how this funding provided PD support over and above on-going PD;

• an evaluation, including performance indicators, of the effectiveness of the STQC funding support, and if appropriate a rationale for adjustments to original plan; and

• an acquittal statement of how the funds have been allocated, signed by the Managing Director, showing funds expended on the program in the annual PD Plan.

Timeline

Submit PD Plan Last Friday in February

Submit annual report First Friday in December

SCHEDULE 9 SUPPLEMENTARY RECURRENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

This Schedule relates to (former) Commonwealth funds, known as Supplementary Recurrent Assistance (SRA). The purpose of these funds is to assist Providers in the application of specific initiatives and support measures directed at Aboriginal enrolments, retention and performance additional to ongoing Provider activity. Application of these funds should focus on initiatives generally encapsulated by, but not limited to, the following activity areas: • advance Aboriginal VET outcomes by closely integrating effort between TAFEWA,

registered training organisations and non-government organisations;

• improve access for adult learners to bridging and work readiness courses; • increase participation by Aboriginal people in AQF certificate III and above industry

recognised training; • improve access to higher levels of training in regional and remote locations (where

applicable); • deliver culturally inclusive, flexible and place-based training, customised to meet the

specific needs of local communities; • strengthen training to employment outcomes for Aboriginal people; • increase the use of recognition of prior learning to create more pathways to

advance the training and career opportunities of Aboriginal people; • increase the participation of Aboriginal adult learners in life long learning programs

that enhance life skills, community participation and employability; • case-manage and mentor Aboriginal trainees to link them to employment services; • develop strategies that address adult literacy and numeracy and re-entry into further

education and training; • introduce a case management approach for identified students and improve

interagency partnerships; • provide cultural awareness professional learning for all staff; • ensure Aboriginal representation on the Provider’s key strategic committees and

build relationships that empower Aboriginal people to participate in learning.

Aboriginal Training Plan (ATP) To enable effective contribution towards achievement across the above activity areas and to address priorities outlined in Training WA: Planning for the Future 2009 - 2018, the Training Provider must prepare an Aboriginal Training Plan for 2010. The format of the Plan may be consistent with previous years and/or the Provider’s current approach. The Plan must be endorsed by the Provider’s local Aboriginal Education, Employment and Training Committee (AEETC) and is to be made available upon request, to the Department.

Aboriginal Education Employment and Training Committee (AEETC) The Provider shall ensure that a local and viable AEETC is in place to advise, plan, monitor and exchange information relating to the implementation of initiatives and strategies as detailed within the ATP, to achieve outcomes against the activities listed in this schedule. Composition of AEETCs must include Aboriginal people, with membership drawn from the Provider and the Aboriginal community. The AEETC must meet a minimum of four times per year.

SCHEDULE 10 INDIGENOUS TUTORIAL ASSISTANCE SCHEME (ITAS)

The objective of the Indigenous Tutorial Assistance Scheme (ITAS) is to increase VET module and course completion rates and encourage students to complete courses at the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) certificate III and IV levels and in diploma and higher levels of study.

Up until the year ending 2008, ITAS was administered by the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR). In January 2009, program administration was transferred to the then Department of Education and Training under the Commonwealth/State National Agreement for Skills and Workforce Development.

The program must be delivered in accordance with the following requirements:

1. The aim of the program is to provide tutorial assistance to students who are enrolled in a course of study that will lead to attainment of a certificate III or above qualification. Students may also be assisted whilst studying for a certificate I or II qualification, only if those units are being undertaken as prerequisite work, and are part of a course of study leading to the attainment of a certificate III or above qualification.

2. The maximum hours of tuition available to students participating in the scheme will be three (3) hours per week and depending on local circumstances the scheme can be applied to satisfy individual needs through “cluster group” arrangements.

3. The Provider is to establish arrangements and processes that allow for ready access to a range of potential tutors and to provide appropriate training/instruction for tutors as required.

4. Application of the Scheme should be consistent with the College Aboriginal Training Plan (ATP).

5. Each incident of utilisation of the program will be endorsed by the College Aboriginal “Support Unit” or its equivalent.

6. The Provider is required to determine tutor rates of pay commensurate with experience and qualifications of the tutor and the tuition is to be supplementary to mainstream teaching efforts and can not be used to substitute or replace such efforts.

7. The Provider is to customise delivery of tuition to obtain optimal benefits for individual students.

8. The services will be delivered within the term of this Agreement stated in Section 3.

9. Tutors must be 18 years of age or older with suitable qualifications or have relevant experience to provide the required tuition.

10. Tutors must have a National Police Certificate criminal records check and Working with Children Clearance.
