6	What is a training package? A training package describes the skills and knowledge needed to perform effectively in the workplace. They do not prescribe how an individual should be trained.

7	Qualifications Framework Training package qualifications are created by combining units of competence into groups which meet job roles and are meaningful in the workplace. The combination of units must be flexible enough to ensure qualifications can be used by a diverse range of small, medium and large enterprises, whilst still being meaningful across the industry as a whole.
8	What does the Training package mean? The package is aimed at satisfying the needs of the Retail, Service & Repair (RS&R) sector of the Automotive industry, including traditional occupational areas, outdoor power equipment, recreational boating, bicycles, farm machinery and mobile and plant equipment.
