This project is focused on the second element noted by the Australian Industry Skills Committee (AISC) to streamline the national vocational education and training (VET) system so that it can better respond to the needs of industry -- faster development of qualifications. It looks at the vocational qualification development processes in different countries to see how they compare with Australia in terms of timeframe, the stakeholders or bodies involved, and qualification design. The information contained in the case studies is based on desktop-based research examining the qualification development process in several countries including: Canada, Finland, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The level of publicly available detail on processes varies for each country. The desktop-based research has been supplemented by contacting individuals within relevant agencies overseas but, overall, this approach had limited success. The key findings from this research are presented in this report, followed by a discussion of the similarities and differences between the development process in Australia and the comparison countries. Detailed information on each country is then presented thereafter. This document was produced by the authors based on their research for the report "Vocational Qualification Development: Lessons from Overseas" (ED612841) and is an added resource for further information.
