Introduction

The Business, IT and Retail VISA Guide details a TAFE SA state-wide approved approach for SA secondary schools wishing to deliver and assess units of competency or the qualification from the following Training Packages:

BSB – Business Services Training Package

SIR07 – Retail Services Training Package

ICT – Information and Communications Technology Training Package

TAFE SA is only offering the units and/or qualification(s) listed in this document to schools under a VET in Schools Arrangement (VISA).

TAFE SA as the Registered Training Organisation (RTO) requires that you use the enclosed information as a checklist to ensure all physical and human resources are in place prior to delivery.

Teachers and VET Co-ordinators will need to have a thorough understanding of the requirements as presented in this booklet.

For further information regarding the obligations of the School and TAFE SA involved in the auspice arrangement, please refer to the overarching Memorandum of Administrative Arrangement (MAA) held with your school for VET in Schools delivery.

TAFE SA is required to report all Auspice arrangements to ASQA.
