This project will review existing training and assessment resources and develop new resources to support RTOs delivering Certificate II qualifications in the AMP Australian Meat Processing Training Package following the major revisions introduced in Release 9.0 and subsequent corrections in Release 9.1.
Draft training resources are available for feedback until 30 November.
Draft training and assessment resources to support the delivery of the AMP20126 Certificate II in Meat Processing and AMP20426 Certificate II in Meat Retailing are now available for feedback.
Built by industry for industry, these materials rely on input from RTOs, trainers, assessors, and processors to ensure they are technically accurate, operationally practical, comprehensively cover each unit, and comply with the Standards for RTOs 2025.

Project scope and purpose
Updated training and assessment supporting materials are required following substantial revisions to units of competency within AMP20126 Certificate II in Meat Processing and AMP20426 Certificate II in Meat Retailing (published as part of AMP Australian Meat Processing Training Package in February 2026).
Existing resources no longer align with the updated qualifications, and newly introduced units currently lack supporting materials altogether, creating delivery challenges for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs).
To resolve this, the project will deliver an updated and customisable suite of training and assessment resources for the two qualifications. These materials will assist trainers in updating their knowledge, provide a foundation for learner guides where appropriate, and allow RTOs to adapt content to their specific species, operations, and delivery contexts.
Consultation approach
A Subject Matter Experts Working Group (SMEWG) has been formed to represent stakeholders and approve key project decisions. Draft materials have been released for broad industry review, with feedback sought on technical accuracy, coverage of unit requirements and compliance with the Standards for RTOs. Feedback will be considered before final approval and publication.
