Accreditation is formal confirmation that the course:

• is nationally recognised
• meets an established industry, enterprise, educational, legislative or community need
• provides appropriate competency outcomes and a satisfactory basis for assessment
• meets national quality assurance requirements
• is aligned appropriately to the AQF where it leads to a qualification.

Each VET accredited course is allocated a national code and is listed on the national register, training.gov.au.

ATEC's Non-accredited courses are recognised training that does not lead to nationally recognised certification. The training activity must have a specified content or predetermined plan designed to develop employment-related skills and competencies.
