What does this mean for a new leader?

The packaging permits up to two unlisted suitable units at Certificate IV level or above from a current endorsed training package qualification or accredited course. This is a limited option within the seven electives, not unrestricted choice of any subject.

How can you prepare or compare?

Explain the skill you want to add and ask the provider whether an appropriate unit can be included. It must still fit the rules and qualification outcome. Obtain an agreed study plan before relying on a requested substitution, including any effect on resources or timing.
