Editor's Notes
AQF – sets out the levels of qualifications and the expected outcomes at each level
Registered with ASQA – VET Quality Framework
Most Training used to be regulated by state bodies. However we now have a National Regulator ASQA. Victoria has not entered into the agreement for the National regulator so is still under the VRQA
NSSC has taken over the role of NQC. To bring together the major players in the VET sector including industry, unions, government etc. It helps to ensure quality in the VET sector. Whilst it is now defunct the website is still worth a visit.
Good idea to bookmark all these websites.
Look up the internet and see if you can find your industry skill council
