  1. Training Packages, assuring nationally endorsed competency standards and qualifications
  2. the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF), assuring the quality of training and assessment services by training organisations and the quality of accredited courses
  3. the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF), assuring the quality and portability of the outcomes of the system for its clients.
