Standard Three
The RTO issues, maintains and accepts AQF certification documentation in accordance with these Standards and provides access to learner records.
Context
To maintain the integrity and national recognition of training products, AQF certification must be consistent in presentation and RTOs must accept the certification issued by other RTOs. This is the purpose of nationally agreed requirements about the nature of certification content and presentation and maintenance. Learner needs should be met through timely issuance of AQF certification documentation and access to their records.
RTOs are not obliged to issue any certification that would be entirely comprised of units or modules completed at another RTO or RTOs.
