Professional Recognition Disclaimer
What a ForgeSkills Certificate of Completion is, and who decides whether it is recognised.
ForgeSkills courses provide non-accredited professional learning. Recognition of course completion by an employer, professional association, regulator, licensing body or accreditation scheme is determined by that organisation. Learners should confirm applicable requirements before purchasing or completing a course.
What ForgeSkills provides
ForgeSkills provides non-accredited professional learning. Each course includes a formal assessment, and learners who complete the assessment successfully receive a Certificate of Completion recording the course title, the notional hours and the date of completion.
ForgeSkills is not a Registered Training Organisation. ForgeSkills courses are not nationally recognised training, are not units of competency or qualifications under the Australian Qualifications Framework, and do not lead to a statement of attainment.
Who decides whether a course is recognised
Whether a ForgeSkills course counts towards a particular requirement is always a decision for the organisation setting that requirement. That may be:
- an employer setting workplace training requirements
- a professional association with continuing professional development rules
- a regulator or licensing body
- an accreditation scheme
ForgeSkills cannot confirm on their behalf that a course will be accepted.
Before you enrol
If you are completing a course to meet a specific professional, licensing or employment requirement, please check with the relevant organisation that the course is appropriate for your needs before enrolling. The course page lists the course content, notional hours and assessment so you can provide those details when you ask.
