Nationally Accredited training:

Studying a nationally accredited course ensures that you receive an education that is compliant with the Australian standards in education, which is based on the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF). This means that the training and qualifications obtained are recognised and respected across Australia, as well as monitored and kept to a reputable standard. Receiving a Registered Training Organisation qualification gives you that competitive edge, regardless of the direction you take your career journey.

Flexible Learning Options:

Our Academy provides different learning modes, including online learning. This flexibility ensures that individuals can balance work, family, or other commitments while pursuing their education.

Quality Assured:

Registered Training Organisations are subject to regular external audits by government agencies. These audits ensure that the education delivered meets high-quality requirements so that students can obtain the best standard of education in that field. The very structure of a Registered Training Organisation involves a mandate to consistently review and update their courses to remain in line with industry advancements. Students are therefore guaranteed a level of training that is cutting-edge and relevant.

Expert Trainers:

Our Trainers are more than just educators, they are also industry specialists. This brings a wealth of practical knowledge into the learning environment, providing students with insights that go beyond what they can learn from textbooks. The high level of training coupled with the experience of a professional interior designer, offers students a unique and thorough insight into the industry.

Do RTOs provide higher-quality training?

To qualify as a Registered Training Organisation, the provider must achieve stringent and high-level government educational requirements and be registered with the ASQA (Australian Skills Quality Authority). These requirements encompass suitable knowledge and skill outputs, as well as excellent teaching and course material.

RTO’s typically provide outstanding student support services as well as a more specialised curriculum for their certifications. This allows for a granular level of learning with constant supervision meaning, no student is left behind.

Can an RTO qualification help me make more money?

Successfully completing an RTO registered Diploma of Interior Design equips post-graduates with a qualification that employers seek. A qualification gained from an RTO can also serve as a stepping stone to higher-level qualifications, such as bachelor's degrees. This means you earn even higher qualifications in a shorter time and be confident that you are on the best route to achieving your goals.

Do RTOs issue nationally accredited qualifications?

In order to offer Nationally Accredited courses, an RTO is obligated to meet all educational quality standards and regulatory requirements governed by the Australian Government. They are all required to follow government quality guidelines and offer training that leads to qualifications that are nationally recognised.
