Amend a course

Making changes to a VET accredited course

There are a few things to consider before applying to amend your course.

You need to provide evidence that your proposed changes keep the course relevant and comply with the:

• Standards for VET Accredited Courses 2021
• Australian Qualifications Framework

If your amendments significantly change course outcomes, you may need to apply for new course accreditation.

Examples of amendments to an accredited course

• updating superseded training package units with current equivalent units
• updating training package units with units deemed non-equivalent (does not impact course outcomes)
• changes to wording in the course document (for example, to reflect new industry practices, changes to entry requirements or assessor requirements)
• changes due to training package units being deleted from the parent training package
• adding an extra training package unit as an elective (does not impact course outcomes)
• adding an extra enterprise unit as an elective (does not impact course outcomes)

Fees

A fee is payable for each course amendment application lodged.
