Other Organisations

Within the VET sector there are a number of peak industry bodies that exist to provide advice, support and PD opportunities to VET practitioners.

Regulators

VET regulators are independent bodies working to uphold the quality of VET delivered in Australia. They perform a number of functions including the registration of RTOs and subsequent monitoring of their operations for compliance with relevant standards.

Facilities, resources and equipment

Ensuring the right facilities, resources and equipment are in place is essential to delivering quality training and assessment.

Units of Competency

A Unit of Competency is the smallest component of a Training Package that can be assessed and recognised. It gives a description of the skills and knowledge required to perform effectively to a specific standard in a particular workplace role or function.

AVETMISS

AVETMISS outlines the format required for the submission of descriptive data about students and their study activities.

Section 3: Credentials for Validation of Assessment

Section 3 of the Credential Policy specifies credential requirements for individuals conducting validation of assessment.

Key Organisations

There are a number of key organisations in Australia’s National VET System, including those that develop, deliver, regulate and research VET in Australia.

Reasonable Adjustment

RTOs have an obligation to assist learners who may need some flexibility in training and assessment so that their individual needs can be met.

Compliance Standards

The Compliance Standards set out requirements relating to accountability, integrity of nationally recognised training products, and information and transparency that RTOs must meet at all times to protect VET students and support the integrity of Australia’s VET sector.

Scope of Registration

Scope of registration (scope) refers to all of the accredited training products (Accredited Courses, Qualifications, Skill Sets and Units of Competency) an RTO is registered to deliver.

Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF)

The AQF applies in all states and territories and describes the standards for regulated Australian qualifications delivered through schools, higher education institutions and RTOs.

Qualifications

As one part of the endorsed component of a Training Package, qualifications are a group of Units of Competency ‘packaged’ together as the requirement for working in a particular industry role at a specific level. A qualification is also the official documentation recognising competency in all of the units specific to a particular grouping of units.
