Is APEX a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) or a Higher Education Provider (HEP)?
APEX is not an RTO. We are committed to excellence in education and endeavour to meet all quality parameters that the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA), national regulator for vocational education and training and the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA) require RTOs and higher education providers to adhere to respectively.
APEX partners with RTOs who use APEX’s learning and assessment resources to help students receive nationally-recognised qualifications.
APEX partners with HEPs in Australia and overseas to develop learning resources in the higher education sector.
