If you're an RTO, you can either upload the official unit PDF or paste the unit’s URL from training.gov.au. Coursebox will automatically map the elements, performance criteria, and knowledge evidence into a structured digital course, helping you stay compliant while speeding up development.

Create a Course by Uploading the PDF File for the Unit of Competency (For RTO’s)

When creating a course based on a Unit of Competency from a nationally recognised training package, it’s essential to align your course structure with the unit’s elements, performance criteria, and assessment requirements. Coursebox allows you to upload a PDF of the unit directly, helping you map the content accurately while enhancing it with engaging learning activities, multimedia, and assessments.

To get started:

Start by selecting the Unit of competency from training.gov.au
Follow the section above for ‘Create a course using AI’.
Upload the PDF when prompted—Coursebox will analyse the file and help build your course structure automatically based on the unit content.

For more information, see Create a Course by Uploading the PDF File in the Coursebox User Manual.

Create a Course Using the Unit URL from training.gov.au (For RTO’s)

When building a course around a nationally recognised Unit of Competency, aligning your content with the required elements, performance criteria, and assessment guidelines is key. Coursebox simplifies this by allowing you to paste the official unit URL from training.gov.au, which it then uses to map your course content accordingly.

To get started:

Go to training.gov.au and copy the URL of the relevant Unit of Competency.
In Coursebox, follow the steps under “Create a course using AI”.
Paste the unit URL when prompted—Coursebox will fetch and interpret the unit structure, helping you generate a compliant and effective course outline.

This method saves time while ensuring alignment with national training standards.
