Many of these terms have been drawn from the National Training System - Glossary, A glossary of Australian vocational education and training terms [PDF 194kb] from the National Centre for Vocational Education and Research and the Literacy and Numeracy for Vet Glossary at the ACT Department of Education, Youth & Family Services.
The bibliography [PDF 194kb] listed in the original glossary provided by the National Centre for Vocational Education and Research lists the publications and websites originally used as sources of information, and the Queensland Department of Education, Training and the Arts endeavours to keep these glossary pages up-to-date with new terms and abbreviations as they emerge.
