What is Course Accreditation?
Accreditation of a course means the formal recognition of a course by:- ASQA in accordance with the Standards for VET Regulators and the Standards for VET Accredited Courses.
- a state/territory course accrediting body in accordance with the AQTF Standards for State and Territory Course Accrediting Bodies and the AQTF Standards for Accredited Courses.
Accreditation also means the course is nationally recognised and that an RTO can issue a nationally recognised qualification or statement of attainment following its full or partial completion.
Once a course has been accredited, it is listed on the National Register.
Standards for VET Accredited Courses
The standard for VET Accredited Courses apply to the design of VET courses that are submitted to ASQA for accreditation. The Standards also apply to VET accredited courses (regardless of which body originally accredited the course) throughout the period of accreditation.
Accreditation of a course is confirmation that the course:
- meets an industry, enterprise, educational, legislative or community need
- identifies appropriate competency outcomes and a satisfactory basis for assessment
- meets national quality assurance requirements
- is aligned appropriately to the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) where it leads to a qualification.
The accredited course document provides the basis for development of strategies for training and assessment by each RTO and describes mandatory course rules, entry requirements, outcomes to be achieved, standards for assessment, and required resources.
