NATIONALLY RECOGNISED TRAINING (NRT)

What is Nationally Recognised Training (NRT)?

Nationally Recognised Training (NRT) refers to training that is based on a nationally endorsed training package or accredited course, recognised across Australia by employers, industry, and government bodies. It leads to formal qualifications and credentials that align with the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF).

NRT includes:

• Training package qualifications

• Accredited qualifications

• Accredited courses

• Skill sets from training packages

• Units of competency and accredited modules

All nationally recognised training is listed on the National Register of Vocational Education and Training (VET) and can only be delivered by Registered Training Organisations (RTOs).

Corrsafe Enterprises Pty Ltd (RTO 40621)

Corrsafe is an authorised RTO delivering nationally recognised qualifications and units of competency under the AQF. When you complete a course with Corrsafe, you will receive a Statement of Attainment or Qualification that is recognised by industry and employers throughout Australia.

We display the Nationally Recognised Training (NRT) logo on our materials to confirm the course meets national standards in accordance with its official conditions of use as set by the Australian Government.

Breakdown of NRT Types

Training Package Qualifications

Based on the skills and knowledge (competencies) required in real job roles.

Include:

• Units of Competency
• Assessment Requirements
• Packaging Rules (Certificate I–Advanced Diploma)
• Credit Arrangements with higher education
  • May also contain non-endorsed components such as skill sets and companion volumes.

Accredited Qualifications and Courses

Developed to meet industry needs not covered in training packages.

Must be approved by a VET regulator as compliant with the Standards for VET Accredited Courses 2021.

Skill Sets

Single units or grouped units from a training package.

Designed to meet licensing, regulatory, or specific industry needs.

Units of Competency and Accredited Modules

The smallest assessable components in vocational training.

Define specific workplace-relevant skills and knowledge.

When delivered standalone (outside of a program), they are reported as non-program subjects.

What is Non-Nationally Recognised Training?

This refers to training that does not lead to a nationally recognised certification. It includes:

Locally developed programs or skill sets created by training providers or industry groups.

Non-accredited modules (self-contained learning blocks not linked to formal qualifications).

Non-NRT is not listed on training.gov.au and may be delivered by any training provider, not just RTOs.
