Regulatory requirements
Learn how Federation’s higher education, VET and senior secondary courses are regulated.
At Federation, every qualification we offer is designed to meet rigorous national standards. Our courses are regulated by independent government bodies, which ensures the curriculum is high quality, relevant and trusted by students, employers and the wider community.
There are three types of regulation:
Higher education
Higher education courses are regulated by the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA) under the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency Act 2011.
Vocational Education and Training (VET)
VET courses are regulated by the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) under the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator Act 2011 and must also comply with Department of Jobs, Skills, Industry and Regions (DJSIR) Skills First contract requirements.
Vocational Major (VM)
VM programs are regulated by the Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority (VRQA) under the Minimum Standards for Registration to provide an Accredited Senior Secondary Qualification.
