Training Quality – ARC and ASQA partnership

Over 60,000 licensed and qualified technicians have driven the standard and skill of the industry, and been the recipients of high level, nationally recognised training standards across the country. However, as with every high-performing sector there are challenges to maintain this level of excellence.

Appropriate qualifications are the cornerstone of the ARCTick scheme. That is why we take the matter of the standard of training in achieving those qualifications extremely seriously.

One of ARC’s objectives is to encourage best practice in the training procedures for refrigeration and air conditioning operations. To this end, ARC has worked with The Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) – and other education authorities – on a number of occasions to improve training quality in the refrigeration and air conditioning sector.

ASQA is the vocational education and training regulator tasked with ensuring the quality of training in Australia. While ARC has no power to sanction training providers directly, we do assist ASQA to achieve quality training outcomes. If you have concerns about the quality of training in the refrigeration and air conditioning sector, we have a dedicated page on our website with links for you to report concerns about training quality to ASQA.
