There have been some significant changes in the BSB training package that affect most of the qualifications and units in the training package. As one of the most in-demand training areas, the new BSB training package update means most RTOs and students will be affected.
The update has added new components, as well as superseded others. The BSB Training Package Version 7.0 includes 20 new units, along with a major reduction of seven units from the previous version. This means a lot of RTOs will need to reapply for scope registration as many popular qualifications will no longer be equivalent.
