Discussion on referring to the Australian AHC10 training package in pratacultural vocational education

AHC10 Agriculture, Horticulture and Conservation and Land Management is a set of training guidelines used in Australian agricultural vocational education and training. In this paper, its content and structure have been discussed. It has been indicated that by learning and referring to the competency standards and assessment guidelines of the AHC10 training package, the requirements for skill and knowledge on pratacultural occupations are better implemented, and occupational levels in the pratacultural industry are defined precisely, which may contribute to the finalization of the national system of vocational qualification in China. Complying with the theory of four production levels of grassland agro-ecosystem, examples of core and elective units of competency for pratacultural vocational education have been proposed, which could be referred to or even followed by the pratacultural industry as examples in the writing units of competency. Deliverance of the competency standards in pratacultural vocational education in China has been proposed. It is expected that this paper will contribute as a reference to improve pratacultural vocational education in China.
