Training Gap Analysis

Summary

In order to ensure clarity within the Standards as well as provide a basis for new training development, a training gap analysis was completed. This analysis took the form of examining the Australian Standards for the Export of Livestock plus the relevant Orders pertaining to Livestock Export and assessing the requirements for competence both explicit and implied. These requirements were then assessed against current training resources. The analysis highlighted a number of gaps where the competency expectation cannot be met through current resources. These areas were basic stock handling, the assembly of stock, ships' crew and airfreight procedures. Training in these areas is sporadic and rely on one to one instruction.
