Accredited vs Non-accredited Training: What is the difference?

Accredited vs non-accredited training is a key part to developing career skills and improving employability in the healthcare industry. When undertaking training, it is important to understand the different types and which is most suitable for you. This blog will discuss what is accredited training, what is non-accredited training and why study non-accredited training.

What is Accredited Training?

Accredited training is any course that is nationally recognised and taught within the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQTF). These are units of competency that collectively form a qualification.

To offer accredited training, a company must demonstrate their ability to continuously deliver quality training in compliance with the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQTF), resulting in becoming a registered training organisation (RTO). Only registered training organisations can teach accredited training.

What is Non-accredited Training?

Non-accredited, also known as, continuous professional development (CPD), courses are not nationally recognised, but a great way to further develop and refresh your industry skills. Learning on your own terms, non-accredited training allows you to stay on top of industry changes, enhance employability and may serve as an opportunity for networking and building industry connections.
