Non-Accredited Training Courses

Non-formal learning

Non-formal learning (adult learning) refers to structured, taught learning, but differs from formal learning in that it does not lead to a qualification within the AQF. It includes non-accredited workplace training, that is, training that does not lead to a recognised qualification.

Some examples of types of non-formal courses include:

Adult education courses (eg. introduction to marketing, computing)
Hobby and recreation courses (eg. ceramics, jewelry making, dancing)
Personal enrichment courses (eg. personal development, instruction skills, public speaking)
Work-related courses (eg. manager development, job search training, induction courses)
First aid courses
Bridging courses
Individual statements of attainment

Formal learning

Refer to learning which is structured, taught learning in institutions and organisations and leads to a recognised qualification issued by a relevant body, in recognition that a person has achieved learning outcomes or competencies relevant to identified individual, professional, industry or community needs.A learning activity is formal if it leads to a learning achievement that is possible to position within the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) and includes workplace training if such training results in a qualification.

Principles

The RTO may offer a number of non-accredited programs, including educational or training activities, seminars, courses and short programs.
Non-accredited programs do not require AQF approval.
Non-accredited programs will not attract credit towards awards but may provide an increase in skills, knowledge and application in the work or home environment
Participants in non-accredited programs will not receive an award as recognition of completion.
The administration of non-accredited programs is carried out by the RTO offering the program.
The RTO will issue a statement of attendance/completion to participants on completion of the non-accredited program.
Statements of completion/attendance will refer only to attendance unless some form of assessment is involved in the program.
The names of non-accredited programs must not be the same as any formally approved titles of RTO awards.
Non-accredited programs and participants are not recorded on the client/candidate data system.
