More support—Course accreditation
ASQA’s role
We are committed to:
- providing a timely and responsive service
- keeping applicants informed throughout the process
- being open and transparent.
Our role as a regulator means we cannot teach applicants how to follow the standards. We cannot provide consultancy services.
ASQA may seek technical advice from the relevant industry when accrediting courses.

User’s guide to developing a course document
You need to develop your course using the national course document template.
The national course document captures all the information about your course.
If your course is accredited, your course document will be used by RTOs as the basis for training and assessment.
