The AHC10 Agriculture, Horticulture and Conservation and Land Management Training Package is the result of merging three training packages and orphaned common units:

• RTD02 Conservation and Land Management

• RTE03 Rural Production

• RTF03 Amenity Horticulture

• ZZZ00 RTC common units

During 2006 AgriFood Skills Australia conducted a feasibility study to investigate the potential of merging the three Training Packages into one. The subsequent outcome of the study was the AgriFood Board's approval to merge the Training Packages.

The AHC10 Training Package is the result of this intensive focus to consolidate this package to represent a "fit for purpose" package that is well positioned to accommodate appropriate continuous improvement into the future.

The endorsement of the AHC10 Training Package that incorporates contemporary design is just one of the key outcomes of this project. The most significant achievement is the shift in thinking by many stakeholders to include a wider range of issues when they are considering the needs of industry relating to Training Packages.

The AHC10 Training Package consists of 82 qualifications along with 10 formal Industry recognised skill sets.
