Detailed Information Purpose of Course Accreditation What can be accredited as a course? Review of Accreditation Decisions
|
Accreditation is the formal recognition by the Tasmanian Qualifications Authority (TQA) of a course qualification. This function is carried out in accordance with the Vocational Education and Training Act 1994 (No. 88 of 1994) and the Tasmanian Qualifications Authority Act 2003 (No. 62 of 2003) When a course is accredited it means it becomes nationally recognised and meets national quality assurance requirements. AQTF 2007 Users' Guide to the Standards for Accredited Courses Who accredits courses? The State or Territory course accrediting body, or its delegate, is responsible for the accreditation of courses. In Tasmania the Tasmanian Qualifications Authority (TQA) has the power under the Vocational Education and Training Act 1994 (No. 88 of 1994) to accredit courses. Authority Decision At its meeting of the 2nd August 2011 the Authority decided the following: "An application for course accreditation either from a person based outside Tasmania or for delivery wholly or mostly outside Tasmania or for a completely new course is, unless a meeting of the Authority decides otherwise after consideration of information from the applicant and advice from the CEO, more appropriately assessed by ASQA or another course accrediting body".
