Toolboxes are high quality, cost effective interactive e-learning and assessment resources featuring scenarios, images and

registered training organisations, business and industry. A Toolbox Champion Support Service operates in every state and territory
to support the implementation of Toolboxes.
Toolboxes are designed to support the delivery of vocational education and training
(VET) qualifications from Certificate I to Diploma level. The Toolbox collection includes more than 100 Toolboxes, helping
to deliver approximately 170 qualifications and almost 900 units of competency, covering a range of educational
and industry areas.
