01 / PRACTICAL STEP
Start with the training product
Start with the exact qualification or unit code and title. Review the product’s current status and make sure the resource corresponds to the version you intend to deliver. Keep any transition questions with your purchase enquiry rather than relying on a similar title.
02 / PRACTICAL STEP
Compare the actual inclusions
Create a simple checklist of what your team needs: learner content, assessment documents, mapping, activity books, presentations and digital formats. Compare that list with the actual product inclusions so optional or separately sold components are visible.
03 / PRACTICAL STEP
Inspect, rather than assume
Ask a trainer and assessor to review the sample together. Discuss the language, workplace context, assessment instructions and the preparation required. Record questions about the selected product before deciding which resources to buy.
04 / PRACTICAL STEP
Check the implementation cost
Allow for contextualisation, staff preparation, equipment, LMS setup and ongoing version management. For a larger purchase, send your unit list and format requirements to CAQA so the quote can reflect the scope of your plan.
05 / PRACTICAL STEP
Record the selection decision
Record the product, supplied version, inclusions and licence with the purchase approval. Assign an owner for the implementation work and agree on how the teaching team will access the approved resources.
