ClassCover Learn’s online professional development (PD) courses are designed to align with the AITSL's Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (APST), making them relevant for educators in all Australian states and territories.

Whether you're in New South Wales, Victoria, the ACT, or elsewhere in Australia, here's how ClassCover Learn supports your accreditation requirements:

State-by-State Accreditation Overview

New South Wales (NSW) – NESA Accreditation

  • ClassCover Learn offers courses that are NESA-accredited, contributing to your required PD hours.

  • Upon course completion, your participation is logged with NESA via eTAMS.

  • Recent changes in August 2024 have simplified PD requirements, allowing all professional development activities, including those previously unaccredited, to count towards the required 100 hours of PD.

Victoria – VIT Accreditation

While ClassCover Learn courses are not pre-accredited by the Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT), you can still use them to meet your ongoing PD requirements.

VIT encourages teachers to complete PD aligned to the APST, which ClassCover Learn courses are designed around.

Australian Capital Territory (ACT) – TQI Accreditation

  • Several ClassCover Learn courses are TQI-accredited and contribute to your annual PD requirements.

  • Completed TQI-accredited courses are reported directly to the Teacher Quality Institute (TQI) on your behalf.

Other States and Territories

For educators in other regions, ClassCover Learn courses:

  • Align with the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (APST)

  • Are suitable for most self-logged PD requirements

  • Can be recorded manually through your local teacher registration authority

We recommend checking with your state’s teacher registration board for specific criteria.

Logging Your PD Hours

NSW + ACT Teachers:

  • Your ClassCover Learn hours are automatically reported (for accredited courses).

  • Allow up to 30 days for hours to appear in eTAMS or TQI.

VIC + Other States:

  • Download your certificates after each course

  • Log your PD manually through your relevant state portal

  • Match activities to APST standards when required
