ACERTA Certification and Inspection Pty Ltd (ACI) provides independent ISO 21001 certification for Australian education and training providers. We audit your management system against the standard and certify where the evidence supports it.

What is ISO 21001?

ISO 21001 is the international standard for management systems for educational organisations. It focuses on the needs of learners and other beneficiaries, covering curriculum design, delivery, assessment and continual improvement.

What our certification involves

• Review of how learner needs and requirements are determined
• Assessment of curriculum design, delivery and assessment processes
• On-site audit of records, learner support and feedback handling
• Review of educator competence and resourcing
• Verification of internal audit, management review and corrective action
• Certification followed by scheduled surveillance audits

Why organisations certify

• Independent evidence of a structured, learner-focused system
• Supports credibility with students, parents and funding bodies
• A useful differentiator in a competitive training market
• Complements sector-specific regulatory requirements

Our role

ACERTA Certification and Inspection Pty Ltd is a certification body. We audit and certify — we do not design, document or implement management systems for the organisations we assess. That separation is what gives our certificates value to the customers, regulators and trading partners who rely on them.
