In the Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector, AQF qualifications are accredited either through national Training Package processes endorsed by the National Quality Council or accredited by state and territory accrediting authorities.
All approved providers, referred to as Registered Training Organisations (RTOs), are registered by the state and territory accrediting authorities. Information about the RTO and their nationally recognised qualifications are listed on a comprehensive national database: the National Training Information Service (NTIS).
Under the AQF, in addition to a formal qualification, a Statement of Attainment may also be issued by a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) when an individual has completed one or more units of competency from nationally recognised qualifications and/or courses.
If a provider or qualification/course is not listed on this database, or for any other queries, contact the designated officer in the relevant state or territory authority or the AQF Council Secretariat.
