| CUS01 Music Training Package Review |
|
Hi there,
I'm Linda Marson, the consultant contracted by IBSA to complete the review of the CUS01 Music Training Package. I'm delighted to report that the review is now in its final stage. So, if you have an interest in training for the music industry, now is the time to have your say.
If you work in the music industry...
If you teach at a Registered Training Organisation...
If you answer 'yes' to any of these questions, please let us know. We need to know if you think we've got it right, not just if you think we've got it wrong!
Please forward this newsletter to colleagues and others who may be interested in providing feedback.

Draft qualifications
|
|
Draft qualifications from Certificate I through to Advanced Diploma are now available for comment. Click here to downolad a single file containing all qualifications, which cover the following areas:
-
Music Performance
-
Sound Production
-
Music Business.
Qualification rules allow Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) to combine units of competency to construct training programs designed to meet different vocational outcomes. In a nutshell, units of competency describe 'logical chunks of work' and qualifications (combinations of units) describe job roles. For example, units in the Certificate IV in Sound Production can be combined to describe the job of sound technician, while another combination describes the job of sound recordist. Sample job roles for other qualifications include:
-
Musician
-
Singer/Songwriter
-
Composer
-
Band Manager
-
Booking Agent
-
New Media Director
-
Sound Engineer.

Units imported from BSB07
|
|
As you look through qualifications - particularly those in Music Business - you will notice that many units have been imported from the BSB07 Business Services Training Package. To avoid an excessive proliferation of units covering the same content, developers of Training Packages (TPs) are required to import units from other TPs wherever possible. However, this practice doesn't stop you from injecting a music industry focus to units covering generic skills such as marketing and business development.
"When contextualising units of competency RTOs may add to the range statement or the evidence guide. They must not:
For example, if you decide to use the imported unit 'BSBEBU501A Investigate and design ebusiness solutions' in your training program, you can add to the range statement for 'e-business models' examples of models that use music industry terminology. Similarly you can add specific examples of what 'business to consumer' means in the context of the music industry.
To view or download copies of individual units from BSB07, click here for the relevant page on the National Training Information Service (NTIS) website.
