Who we are

We are Australia’s National Vocational Education and Training (VET) regulator.

What we do

We regulate providers that deliver VET qualifications and courses to students in Australia or offer Australian qualifications internationally, providers that deliver VET courses to overseas students, and certain providers that deliver English Language Intensive Courses for Overseas Students. We also accredit VET courses to make sure nationally approved standards are met.

Why we do it

We ensure quality VET so that students, industry, governments and the community have confidence in the integrity of national qualifications issues by training providers, and that students are protected from any practices that come at the expense of their ability to gain the required competencies.

ASQA supports and promotes a strong team culture, a safe, healthy and happy workplace and the sharing of knowledge.
