The National Training Framework (NTF) is made up of the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF) and Training Packages.
The NTF is a nationally consistent, industry-led system designed to:
- provide high-quality skill outcomes to maintain individuals’ employability and increase their productivity
- provide for nationally recognised qualifications, and
- improve the competitiveness of enterprises and the nation.
Training organisations must be registered under the AQTF in order to deliver, assess and issue Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) qualifications or statements of attainment in endorsed Training Packages and accredited courses.
