FAQS

A Registered Training Organisation (RTO) is an education provider approved by the Australian Government to deliver nationally recognised training and qualifications. RTOs adhere to strict standards set by the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) to ensure quality and consistency in training. They offer a wide range of courses across various industries, from vocational education and training (VET) to higher education qualifications. By choosing to study with an RTO, students can be assured that their training meets industry standards and that their qualifications are respected by employers across Australia.

Yes, the National Skills Training Institute (NSTI) is a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) in Australia. This means it is accredited to deliver vocational education and training (VET) services, issue nationally recognized qualifications.

NSTI is RTO #41462 and can be confirmed on the Australian Government Website -

Yes, all courses offered by the National Skills Training Institute (NSTI) are nationally accredited in Australia. Our programs meet the rigorous standards set by the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA), ensuring that our students receive high-quality, industry-relevant education and training that is recognised nationwide. By enrolling in our courses, you can be confident that your qualifications will be respected and valued across Australia.

While Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) meet strict national standards ensuring high-quality and consistent training, non-accredited trainers do not adhere to these rigorous requirements. This often results in subpar training standards and a lack of accountability. Non-accredited training lacks the assurance of quality and recognition that comes with RTO credentials, leading to qualifications that are NOT accepted by employers or other educational institutions. Opting for a non-accredited trainer can mean missing out on comprehensive and standardised education, making it a less reliable choice for students seeking recognised and credible skills.

Technical and Further Education (TAFE) is a government-owned RTO that offers education and official diplomas and certificates, primarily through classroom-based delivery.

In contrast, Registered Training Organisations (RTOs), like the National Skills Training Institute (NSTI), are private institutions that provide nationally recognised training services. One of the key benefits of studying with NSTI is the flexibility it offers; unlike TAFE, we don't have set schedules. Our nationally recognised courses allow you to study anywhere, anytime, fitting your education around your lifestyle.

Yes, you will receive the same accreditation from NSTI that you would get through other education providers like TAFE. As an RTO, we adhere to the same standards and requirements for accreditation.

The main difference lies in the higher quality of teaching at NSTI, ensuring you receive the best possible education and training experience.

At the National Skills Training Institute (NSTI), you will be awarded your qualification certificate once you have successfully completed all required coursework and assessments for your chosen program. Additionally, it is essential that all outstanding fees and charges related to your course have been fully paid. Once these requirements are met, you will receive your certificate, recognising your achievement and allowing you to advance in your career.

I have just recently completed the practical component of the Cert III (Grooming) and was so happy with the course. Emily, Iain and the team were so helpful and took their time to impart their knowledge and teach us all the tricks of the trade. Had a really good experience and would definitely recommend this course to anyone interested in entering the pet grooming industry with a decent amount of experience behind them.
