Accreditation


National VET regulation (NVR)


Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA)

The National Vocational Education and Training Regulator Act 2011 has established a new approach to national regulation of the vocational education and training (VET) sector in Australia. While the approach is new, most of the regulatory requirements have not changed at all. Part of the new approach is the creation of a national regulator, the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA), which is responsible for registering training organisations and accrediting courses.

While transition for registration is occurring in several stages, the VET Quality Framework came into effect from 1 July 2011 for all relevant applicants/registered RTOs operating in New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory, and those RTOs in Victoria and Western Australia who are transferring to ASQA.

Standards for Continuing Registration (SNR) Registered
The Standards for Continuing Registration (SNR) are a component of the VET Quality Framework (VQF). The VQF is one of the conditions of registration for NVR registered training organisations under the National VET Regulator Act 2011.

Newskills Limited is registered by the Australian Skills Quality Authority under the NVR and report against the Standards for Continuing Registration 2011.
