(3) Is the Minister aware that the database of qualifications for trainees, has not been maintained?
(4) What means will be put in place to correct this oversight?

(1) The Department of Education Services understands that the training referred to is outside of the requirements for achievement of the Certificate III and forms part of the FESA professional development program. FESA is a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) and has been found to maintain compliance with the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF) standards.
(2) The Training Accreditation Council will continue to audit and monitor FESA's performance as an RTO in line with the Council's established processes.
(3) The Training Accreditation Council has established that FESA is currently up to date with all reporting requirements required under the AQTF and the VET Act 1996.
(4)The Training Accreditation Council will continue to ensure that all reporting requirements are met.
