Case for Change
The objective of this project is to review the suitability of a number of qualifications that may not be fit for purpose within the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Training Package, and to determine what changes or additions can be made to better meet the needs of industry.
The qualifications included in the scope of this project are:
- Certificate IV in Information Technology (ICT40115)
- Certificate IV in Information Technology Testing (ICT40615)
- Certificate IV in Systems Analysis and Design (ICT40715)
- Diploma in Database Design and Development (ICT50515)
- Graduate Certificate in Information Technology Sustainability (ICT80215)
The Case for Change for this project was established as a result of initial research and consultations outlined in the ICT 4 Year Work Plan. PwC’s Skills for Australia prepared the Case for Change for this project on behalf of the ICT Industry Reference Committee (ICT IRC) and submitted it to the Australian Industry and Skills Committee (AISC) in October 2016.
The AISC endorsed this project on 17th November 2016.

Consultation
On behalf of the ICT IRC, PwC’s Skills for Australia carried out industry consultations for this project from January – June 2017. Consultation focused on identifying the key changes to training products required to more closely align training in information technology with the skills needs of industry.
Following the IRC’s review of our key findings from consultation and the recommendations we proposed for changes to training products, we developed draft training products to address skills gaps.
These draft training products were published for a round of consultation in early September.
Further consultation was open during February for feedback on Project 1E: Review of qualifications not fit for purpose.
The final round of public consultation has now closed.
