National Recognition and Credit Transfer

One of the most important features of Australia’s VET Quality Framework is the mutual recognition, between registered training organisations, of qualifications including Statements of Attainment. As a registered training organisation, the RTO must accept the credentials issued by another registered training organisation based in any State/Territory of Australia. Marriott Academy undertakes to ensure that all Certificates and Statements of Attainment issued by any other registered training organisation are, once verified, accepted as valid. Equally, the Qualifications and Statements of Attainment issued Marriott Academy will be recognised Australia wide under these arrangements.

Complaints & Appeals

Students may access the Complaints and Appeals policy through Marriott Academy’s website.
