What is the AHC Training Package?

The AHC Training Package is the national framework of qualifications, skill sets, and units of competency covering the agriculture, horticulture, and conservation sectors. It is administered under the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) and updated periodically to reflect current industry practice.

RTOs approved to deliver AHC qualifications must ensure training and assessment materials align with current unit requirements and meet obligations under the Standards for RTOs 2025.

AHC covers training products across:

• Horticulture and landscaping
• Agriculture and farming operations
• Conservation and land management
• Arboriculture
• Organic farming
• Irrigation
• Agrichemical use and safety

Why do RTOs need purpose-built AHC resources?

Generic or outdated materials create compliance risk at audit and disengage learners who need practical, industry-relevant training. Purpose-built AHC resources close that gap by mapping directly to unit elements, performance criteria, and foundation skills — the specific evidence ASQA auditors check for.

Three concrete standards every AHC resource set should reference:

1. Alignment with the current AHC Training Package release and its unit requirements.
2. Compliance with the Standards for RTOs 2025.
3. Development against the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF) for LLND support materials.

What’s included in a complete AHC resource set?

1. AHC Learner Resources

A structured pathway through each unit of competency, written for diverse learner cohorts, including students with language, literacy, numeracy and digital literacy (LLND) support needs.

• AHC Learner Guide — a step-by-step walkthrough of the knowledge and skills required for each unit, in plain, accessible language.
• Class Activity Book — scenario-based tasks and hands-on activities that reinforce learning before formal assessment.
• Interactive PowerPoint Slides — trainer-ready slides linked to the learner guide, reducing prep time and keeping delivery consistent across a training team.
• Session Plan — a structured plan covering timing, delivery notes, and alignment to unit elements and performance criteria.
• Self-Study Guide — curated video links, web references, and concept summaries for independent study between sessions.

2. AHC Assessment Kits

Quality-assured tools supporting valid, reliable, and consistent assessment decisions.

• Student Assessment Pack — task descriptions, evidence requirements, and submission guidance for learners.
• Trainer Assessment Pack and Marking Guide — benchmark answers, decision rules, and evidence-sufficiency guidance for assessors.
• Work Placement Assessment Tools (where applicable) — observation checklists, supervisor verification records, and third-party evidence forms for real or simulated workplace assessment.
• Mapping and Unit Information Pack — confirms alignment between assessment tasks and unit elements, performance criteria, foundation skills, and assessment conditions — key evidence for validation and audit.
• Supporting Documents — cover sheets, reasonable adjustment records, appeals information, and assessor declarations.

3. Additional AHC Resources

• LLND Kit — built against the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF) to help RTOs identify and support learners’ language, literacy, numeracy, and digital skill needs before and during enrolment.
• RPL Kit — structured tools for gathering, recording, and assessing recognition-of-prior-learning evidence so decisions stay valid, defensible, and audit-ready.

How do I choose the right AHC resources for my RTO?

1. Confirm your scope. Match resources to the specific qualifications, skill sets, or individual units on your RTO’s scope of registration.
2. Check compliance mapping. Ensure the Mapping and Unit Information Pack aligns to the current AHC release and the Standards for RTOs 2025.
3. Assess learner fit. Look for plain-language materials with LLND support built in if your cohort includes apprentices, new entrants, or learners needing additional support.
4. Confirm customisation options. If you need resources contextualised to your delivery environment or branding, check this before purchase.
5. Check audit support. Confirm whether audit assistance is included at no extra cost, and what documentation it covers.

2. Are the resources customisable for our RTO’s branding and delivery context?

Yes. Resources can be contextualised to your delivery environment, learner cohort, and branding requirements, while maintaining alignment to the training package and compliance requirements.

3. Do the AHC Assessment Kits include reasonable adjustment guidance?

Yes. Each kit includes documentation for reasonable adjustment, so assessors can adapt assessment conditions without compromising the validity of the assessment decision.

LLND and RPL kits are available as part of your AHC Resources package, developed to complement the core learner and assessment resources. Confirm inclusions when enquiring, as configurations may vary by qualification.

VET Resources monitors changes to the AHC Training Package and updates resources when requirements change. RTOs with current packages are advised of relevant updates to help maintain currency and support ongoing compliance.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a formal process for assessing a learner’s existing skills and knowledge against unit requirements, without requiring them to repeat training they’ve already mastered. The AHC RPL Kit provides structured tools for gathering, recording, and assessing this evidence to a defensible, audit-ready standard.
