How to get Course Accreditation
1. Ensure your course meets requirements.
All training providers wishing to deliver accredited Ongoing Learning Modules, must comply with the Course Criteria and Quality Benchmark Matrix, with all approved courses and events being subject to auditing by SAA.
2. Apply with SAA
A training provider must apply electronically (via email to cpd@saaustralia.com.au) to have their Ongoing Learning Modules accredited by SAA, by submitting the following completed documents:
a. Training and Assessment Plan and Checklist.
b. Learning and assessment materials (or provide access to these materials).
c. A certified Statutory Declaration declaring that all information contained in the training course is true and correct.
d. Any other documents as required by the application.
Note: Nationally recognised units of competency delivered by an approved RTO are not required to apply for CPD training accreditation.
3. Application review phase
The accreditation review process may take up to 10 business days from the date that the completed application and documentation is received by SAA.
Where further information is required, SAA will provide details to the training provider.
4. Response
SAA will either approve or refuse the application for accreditation, and if the application is refused, SAA will provide reasons for the decision.
5. Course accreditation
On approval, a learning module will be valid for two (2) years, provided there are no changes to the structure of the program and the learning outcomes, or external changes that render the training content invalid or redundant.
6. Modifications
Where a learning module needs to be altered in such a way that may change the structure of the program or the learning outcomes, a training provider must apply to modify an existing course by submitting the following completed documents:
a. Training and Assessment Plan and Checklist, indicating the specific changes to the learning module.
b. A certified Statutory Declaration declaring that all information contained in the modified training course is true and correct.
c. Any other documents as required by the application.
8. Renewal
At the end of two (2) years, training providers may apply for re-accreditation of Ongoing Learning Modules through the above process.
