What Courses?
A training 'course' is a structured sequence of vocational education and training that leads to the acquisition of identified competencies. Courses are composed of elements called units or modules. Units or modules are often referred to as building blocks because they combine to construct different qualifications. For example, to meet the requirements of a Certificate III, you have to complete a specified course of units or modules.
The National Training Information Service (NTIS) is a database on vocational education and training in Australia. It contains detailed information on courses, qualifications, training packages, competency standards and training organisations.
Courses/Qualifications can be searched by industry group, level of Qualification, State/Territory or by entering a key word. Information displayed will include National code, accreditation details, contact person, providers of a selected course, and whether the course is linked to competency standards.
For further information on what courses/qualifications are available in the Northern Territory, contact DEET's Quality & Regulatory Unit on 8901 1340.
