This policy is to outline the requirements for course accreditation by the Training Accreditation Council (TAC or the Council). Accreditation is the formal recognition of a course by a VET Regulator. This policy reflects the Council’s commitment to the Standards for VET Regulators 2015, the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) and the Vocational Education and Training Act 1996 (VET Act).
When a course is accredited it becomes nationally recognised and is listed on the National Register (training.gov.au) by the Council. Only a registered training organisation (RTO) can deliver an accredited course. The RTO will issue a nationally recognised qualification or statement of attainment following the full or partial completion of the course.
