Training standards

These standards focus on the main principles of ACA training and reflect best practice for all organisations, regardless of type or size. We continuously monitor adherence to our training standards via review visits. 

Our training standards require an Authorised Training Employer / Principal's commitment to five main principles:

1. to operate with professionalism and commitment to ACA training;
2. to provide students with a suitable training environment;
3. to offer students appropriate supervision and support;
4. to offer students the opportunity for personal and professional development; and
5. to offer students appropriate training in professional ethics.
