We also accredit VET courses to make sure nationally approved standards are met.
Why we do it
We ensure quality VET so that students, industry, governments and the community have confidence in the integrity of national qualifications issues by training providers, and that students are protected from any practices that come at the expense of their ability to gain the required competencies.
