VET Info Notes
This training program is a representation of the qualification code CUV40403 taken from the Visual Arts Craft & Design Training Package CUV03 which should be consulted for full description of requirements. CUV40403 is endorsed until 30/08/2006.

1. This qualification is the copyright of The Australian National Training Authority.

2. Further information on this qualification is contained in the training Package available from Australian Training Products Ltd., Tel: (03) 9630 9836.

3. This qualification was originally entered on to STARS by Central TAFE on 26/10/2004.

4. This qualification was updated on 18 September and 7 October, 2008 by the DET to reflect a national continuous improvement version change (V3). The change mostly consisted of removing Key Competencies which were replaced by Employability Skills in all units. Accordingly, all CUV03 units within this qualification received a new national code (ie, B or C version) and a new TAFEWA ID unit number. Imported BSB units may have also replaced some CUV units.
