Formal Training. On the job training On the job experience Internal Courses External Courses Previous employment Each other CCAs stated desire for a work environment that is recognised as a centre of learning and skills development will be supported by a commitment to provide a minimum of eight (8) hours formal training per employee per annum. An essential component of that training commitment will be skills enabling technicians to undertake work on new technology relevant to the field of activity. In addition to formal classroom training which will be run as frequently as business demands allow, employees may learn as fast as they like through self-study. This may mean sourcing materials from the Technical Trainer, taking the opportunity to learn from another employee or accessing external programs that are approved by CCA. National Recognition Where an employee completes an assessment, which forms a complete module in a National Training Package, a statement of attainment will be issued. CCA has a number of certificates which may be used to attain advanced standing in full trade certificates in related disciplines such as Refrigeration or Electrotechnology at other RTO’s such as TAFE. For CCA our alignment to National Training Package modules represents a long-term focus in its most important asset, its people. Assessment Competency Standards
