Understanding the Application of Skills and Knowledge (ASK) Unit Format

The introduction of the new Application of Skills and Knowledge (ASK) unit format marks an important step in the ongoing evolution of Australia’s nationally recognised training system.

Although ASK units won’t replace every existing Unit of Competency, they are expected to become increasingly common as training packages are reviewed and updated over time.

To help RTOs understand what’s changing, we’ve put together a practical overview covering:
* What an ASK unit is
* What it contains
* How ASK units are assessed
* What the changes mean for RTOs and their training and assessment resources

At Learn for Work, we’re actively monitoring these developments and preparing for future ASK releases so our clients can transition with confidence.
