RTOs offering training programs for the delivery and assessment of the Business Services HSC VET courses must meet the requirements of the VET Quality Framework, the BSB Business Services Training Package and the HSC course. The Business Services Curriculum Framework and The Business Services Training Package qualification packaging rules for BSB20115 require the achievement of: 1 core unit of competency, plus 11 units of competency (minimum 7 listed s). To achieve BSB20115 as part of the HSC, students will complete the following HSC VET course from the Business Services Curriculum Framework: Business Services (240 indicative hours) 4 HSC credit units.

Non-completion of work placement means the student has not met the HSC VET course requirements and cannot count the HSC credit units for the course towards the award of their HSC. They would still be credentialled for the AQF VET qualification. Work placement is to be undertaken in an appropriate business services work environment. Students undertaking these courses as part of a school-based traineeship will meet the mandatory work placement hour requirements through the on-the-job training component of the traineeship. For units of competency that must be assessed in a business services work environment, work placement provides an opportunity to collect evidence required for a student to be deemed competent. 5
