Provision of training services for Army & Navy Artificers.

This procurement of services from a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) is to provide training services for the Academic Phase of the Aviation Artificers Course for Army & Navy.

The preferred training Service Provider will be required to design, develop and deliver the academic phase of the Artificer course to selected Army and Navy trainees, in order to provide Aircraft and Avionics Sergeants with an academic qualification. This will allow the trainees to be eligible as para-professional aviation maintenance engineers for employment within Army and Navy Aviation areas, in accordance with both Army Employment Specifications and Navy Technical Sailor Duty Statements.

Defence requires the ongoing provision of training services based upon the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF). The academic phase curriculum of the Artificers course (Subject 4 Warrant Officer) will be delivered at the Diploma level (AQTF Level 5) for selected Army personnel and at the Advanced Diploma level (AQTF Level 6) for Navy personnel.

The Artificer course will provide selected senior technicians with the high level of technical training required to make informed technical decisions on modern Army and Navy aircraft and associated equipment. The course is to be delivered over a period of approximately 6 months.
