Here is everything you need to know about the implementation of the infection control training skill sets:
What are the HLTINFCOV001 and BSBWHS332X courses?
The HLTINFCOV001—Comply with Infection Prevention and Control Policies and Procedures unit is included in three skills sets which are:
- HLTSS00066 – Infection control Skill Set (Food Handling)

According to the AISC, credit transfer cannot be granted between HLTINFCOV001 and HLTINF001— Comply with Infection Prevention and Control Policies and Procedures.
If a student completes the HLTINFCOV001 course, the RTO can conduct a Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) assessment process to prove competencies for HLTINF001. RTOs are responsible for implementing further assessment methods to ensure the validity of the assessment decision in the context of health or direct client care.
