FAQs

A Registered Training Organisation (RTO) is an accredited provider of Vocational Education and Training in Australia. They can offer nationally recognised training and certificates ranging from I to IV, diplomas and advanced diplomas to vocational graduate certificates and diplomas. To achieve and maintain registration, RTOs must adhere to strict standards set by the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA). This ensures high-quality training that meets the needs of both the industry and the workforce. As an RTO, we serve a diverse array of students, including school leavers, individuals seeking to upskill or reskill and those looking to re-enter the workforce. We offer a pathway to further education and employment, enhancing the practical skills and job-readiness of our students. RTOs ensure qualifications meet national standards and are relevant to employers. This helps individuals progress their careers and meets the skills needs of the Australian economy.
An accredited course is training that's been checked and approved by a regulatory body. This means it meets certain quality standards and is relevant to what people need in their jobs, schools or communities. In Australia, a government group called the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) or a state regulator checks these courses. They make sure they follow the rules for VET Accredited Courses and the Australian Qualifications Framework. Accredited courses are developed to fill specific gaps in training that aren't covered by existing training qualifications. These courses meet national standards with valuable, quality-assured training that can lead to a Nationally Recognised Qualification. It also validates your qualifications to potential employers who are looking for skilled and competent workers. Other benefits include financial assistance and leads to occupational licensing or regulatory outcomes.
Non-accredited courses provide specific skills or knowledge that aid in professional development but don't count towards a formal qualification. These courses are designed to teach practical, useful skills that can improve job performance and are usually finished in a shorter time than accredited courses. These courses help people stay current with industry trends, learn new tech or gain specialised knowledge to advance their careers. Non-accredited courses let you build on existing knowledge, make more money by learning new skills, and meet and connect with other professionals. They also allow for flexible learning schedules, making it possible to study at your convenience without committing to the more rigid timelines that accredited courses require.
