NESA Accreditation Facilitated by PTC

PTC NSW is accepting member PL accreditation applications for initial processing prior to NESA accreditation.

The PTC NSW Accreditation Officer, Ms Audrey Juska has now begun working with PTC NSW following her extensive training period with the NESA accreditation team.

Member associations wanting PTC NSW to process professional learning applications for accreditation are invited to submit applications directly to PTC NSW via the dedicated email address, ptcpdapp@ptc.nsw.edu.au
Application forms can be found here:

Forms

Form A:  For organisations applying to have their first course accredited under the Accreditation of Professional Development Courses Policy implemented from 2021

Form B: For organisations who have already had one or more courses accredited under the Accreditation of Professional Development Courses Policy implemented from 2021

Form C:  For organisations applying to have a conference with concurrent workshops accredited under the Accreditation of Professional Development Courses Policy implemented from 2021

Audrey and the two Professional Learning Accreditation Panels will assess applications prior to submission to NESA for accreditation. PTC NSW now has a dedicated NESA Accreditation Officer within the NESA accreditation team, who will assist PTC NSW with the accreditation of applications submitted directly by PTC NSW.

Submitted member applications that require further information will be returned to the PTC NSW panels. The applications will be corrected as per the NESA advice and resubmitted.

Once PTC NSW applications reach a level of success that NESA accepts, all PTC NSW applications will be deemed approved once submitted by PTC NSW.

PTC NSW expectation is that once this process is fully established application success rate will be high and the timeline between submission and approval shortened.

Fees and charges associated with the application process or the uploading of participants to eTAMS are available from the PTC NSW website under the Professional Learning tab.

During 2023 PTC NSW will introduce a process for member associations to engage PTC NSW to write and submit applications. Details will be released early 2023.

PTC NSW is now accepting member association applications.

Enquiries are to be submitted via ptcpdapp@ptc.nsw.edu.au

PTC NSW Accreditation Recommendations

NESA will monitor all PTC NSW preliminary approved courses for a period time until NESA is satisfied that PTC NSW can transition to a risk assessment model where NESA will randomly select preliminary approved courses for accreditation reducing the need for all courses to be reviewed by NESA. A NESA cycle of checking PTC recommended courses will be introduced until NESA is confident that preliminary approved courses meet all NESA requirements and will subsequently be confirmed as accredited as received by NESA.
