Nationally Recognised Training Programs
Nationally recognised training is defined as any program of training leading to vocational qualifications and credentials that are recognised across Australia. My CPE deliver a range of Qualifications, Skill Sets and Individual Units of Competence. These include:
Industry training package qualifications and units of competency as listed on www.training.gov.au.
Courses that have been accredited by a VET Regulator.
Registered Training Organisation (RTO)
A Registered training organisation (RTO) is a training provider registered by ASQA (or, in some cases, a state regulator) to deliver vocational education and training (VET) services. RTOs are recognised as providers of quality-assured and nationally recognised training and qualifications. My CPE has a VET partnership with the Institute of Strategic Management Pty Ltd (RTO 91485) to deliver vocational education and training (VET) services.
Tax Practitioners Board (TPB) Approved
My CPE is officially endorsed by the Tax Practitioners Board (TPB) as an Approved Course Provider. The Tax Practitioners Board (TPB) approve certain courses which must be undertaken with an approved course provider for it to count towards meeting the education requirements for registration as a tax agent, BAS agent or tax (financial) adviser. Approved courses must be delivered in-line with the Boards conditions.
Qualifications
A qualification is a certification awarded that recognises the successful completion of a nationally recognised training program. A qualification consists of a selection of core and elective individual units of competency. An example is the Certificate IV in Accounting and Bookkeeping, which contains 13 units of competency in total.
Skill Sets
Skills Sets are comprised of a group of units of competency to meet a clearly defined industry need. Skills Sets are a way to recognise a particular group of skills that do not make up a whole qualification. Many positions require candidates to possess specific sets of skills to meet industry standards or regulatory and legislative requirements.
Benefits:
- Assist by recognising skills and knowledge acquired through workplace training
- Flexibility to meet your individual skills training needs
- Impart new skills to meet industry standards or regulatory and legislative requirements
- Form the foundation for a qualification at a higher education level
- Address a specific workforce skills gap.
Individual Units
If you are keen to study a specific subject without undertaking a full program, enrol in an individual unit of competence with My CPE. Individual units are an excellent CPE activity. Candidates who successfully complete an individual unit/s are awarded a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment.
Learning Management Process
Each formal program will have a different enrolment term and we advise you check this important detail prior to enrolment. CPE programs may have a shorter duration than formal programs. Learners are encouraged to check the duration of each program and study at their own pace, considering the particular duration of each particular program.
- Registration – Once registered, your Assessor will schedule an interview with you.
- Assessor Interview – Each student will have the opportunity interact, ask questions and have any initial competency gaps identified in their initial interview. An appropriate learning & assessment pathway will be determined.
- Learning – Opportunities are provided through instructor-led training, e-learning and coaching and/or mentoring where required.
- Assessment – Assessments are marked once each unit has been submitted. An assessment decision made by the assessor within 5 working days.
- Final Interview – Guidance regarding the assessment decision is provided, future learning opportunities are identified and your feedback is encouraged.
- Your Statement of Attainment or Qualification is issued.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
RPL is the process of recognising the array of relevant experience and skills that an individual has acquired throughout their career. The principles of RPL will be applied at all stages of learning and assessment where applicable. Those who can demonstrate competence and supply documentary evidence may have prior learning recognised and applied to expedite the completion of your program. Your will provide an opportunity to discuss your RPL options during the initial stage of the program; however you can request RPL at any stage.
RPL is not applicable to most CPE programs or TPB approved programs, its specific to formal education.
Unique Student Identifier
Students enrolled in formal education are required to provide their USI. Information about the USI or registration can be found at: https://www.usi.gov.au/create-your-USI/Pages/default.aspx.

We believe education should be accessible to everyone and offer an interest free payment plan for those aiming to complete a formal program in select circumstances. A payment plan can be arranged with your assessor prior to enrolment. Government funded training programs may be available from time to time, however they are limited and conditions apply. Payment plans and funding opportunities are not available for short courses such as CPE programs.
