Course Comparison
Accredited vs Non-Accredited Refresher Course
Not sure whether you need an accredited course or a refresher course? The main difference is the type of training and outcome.
| Feature | Nationally recognisedAccredited Course | Skills refresherNon-Accredited Refresher Course |
|---|---|---|
| Recognition | Nationally recognised training | Not nationally recognised |
| Assessment | Formal assessment required | May involve practical activities or knowledge checks |
| Certificate | Nationally recognised statement of attainment | Certificate of completion will be provided instantly |
| Best for | Meeting formal qualification requirements | Refreshing existing knowledge and practical skills |
| Training focus | Full competency requirements | Skills reinforcement and confidence building |
| Ideal for | New learners or workers needing a formal unit | Experienced workers wanting a practical skills update |
For example, HLTAID011 Provide First Aid is a nationally recognised training unit listed on the Australian Government's national training register. A non-accredited refresher course should not be presented as an equivalent replacement for a nationally recognised qualification where a specific qualification is required.
Which Option Is Right for You?
Choose an accredited course if your employer, regulator or industry requires a nationally recognised qualification.
Choose a non-accredited refresher course if you already have relevant knowledge and want to revisit practical skills, improve confidence or support your ongoing workplace development.
If you are unsure which option suits your role, speak with the Achievers College team before booking.
