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.
How to go about setting up a VET in Schools Agreement
The following list provides a guide to get started.
1. Read through this booklet and ascertain if you and your school are willing to enter an auspice agreement
2. If the answer to item 1 is YES, then refer to the Self-Assessment Checklist and start gathering the required information that demonstrates that you have these requirements in place
3. With your Self-Assessment Checklist underway, contact the TAFE SA Program Specialist with the details of the course and/or units you wish to deliver
4. Your TAFE SA Program Specialist will make a time for themselves or another suitable program specialist to go through the requirements with you
a. Copies of teacher/trainers qualifications etc for submission to your TAFE SA Program Specialist will be required
b. You may need to submit other documentation or resources as evidence of your readiness
5. On successful demonstration that you and your school are ready for VET in Schools delivery you will receive a letter of confirmation from TAFE SA – you must wait for this confirmation before you can commence marketing or delivery with students
At the beginning of the academic year, or on confirmation of the agreement, you will need to work with your students to set up their profiles through myTAFESA (online system). See section on School Obligations.
