 * //Making Industry grade technologies available for training //**

In 2013, the Flexible Learning Advisory Group (FLAG) identified and endorsed the National [|Quality Model for e-learning]. There will be a staged implementation of ‘//Smart and Skilled//’? //Smart and Skilled//’ is the NSW Department of Education and Communities (DEC) new entitlement model for vocational education and training (VET). The good news is a staged implementation will help you to plan and respond to the new requirements. If you want to know more about how //‘Smart and Skilled’// might affect your RTO please visit the [|State Training Services, NSW Department of Education and Communities]  website. You can access NSW E-capability webinar past recordings on our wiki.
