New Basic Training Program
The new Basic Training Program is a hybrid of time and competency-based training. There is a minimum requirement for trainees to complete three years of full-time equivalent clinical experience.
The curricula standards outline what trainees are expected to be (Competencies), know (Knowledge Guides) and do (Entrustable Professional Activities). These are supported by learning, teaching and assessment programs.
Early adopters
Early adopter training settings are working with us to lead the rollout. Early adopters will:
- test the new training program
- test supporting materials and activities
- develop a network of change champions
A select group of early adopter settings began implementing the new Basic Training programs across Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia from 2021. See the lists of settings below.

Western Health Network has withdrawn from the early adopter rollout of the new Basic Training program due to local capacity constraints and impacts on setting staff from COVID-19. The network implemented the new program from early-2021 to 7 August 2022, after which time trainees transitioned to the Physician Readiness for Expert Practice (PREP) Basic Training program. We gratefully acknowledge the time and effort from all network staff involved in the rollout at the following hospitals: Albury Wodonga Health, Ballarat Hospital, Footscray Hospital, Sunshine Hospital, Williamstown Hospital.
The Basic Training program handbooks for early adopter trainees can be accessed on the learning resources platform. Please note the requirements outlined in these handbooks only impact trainees at the above listed settings.
We'll share progress updates and new program evaluation when available. Members will continue to be consulted to ensure the best outcomes for trainees and workplace training.
Tracc
The new Basic Training programs are supported by a new online system called Tracc, which can be accessed by all registered participants in the new Basic Training program. Contact us if you believe you should have access Tracc.
Tracc houses a number of new assessment tools for the new Basic Training programs.
Trainees may complete assessment tools in Tracc or via electronic form as outlined in the table below.

New Basic Trainees at early adopter settings must complete their registration online, in line with registration open dates:

New program training sessions
The College will be running training sessions on the new Basic Training program assessment tools for early adopter stakeholders throughout 2022.
Each session will focus on how to use one of the new assessment tools using Tracc or an electronic assessment form. The sessions will include:
- New Basic Training program curricula standards
- Overview of assessment tool
- Demonstration of assessment tool on Tracc and/or electronic assessment form
Session topic and times
The sessions are drop-in and will run for approximately 15 minutes. You are not required to RSVP.
