As active members of ACPET we are able to ensure we stay up to date with changes to private education and that our courses are maintained and developed to a high standard. There is currently no accredited courses available for our industry, so our membership with ACPET is very important to us and allows us to remain responsive to our students requirements and any changes made within our industry by reflecting these changes within our courses. It holds us accountable for the quality of our courses.
AFWPI is an international association which provides great opportunities for us as an Academy in Australia, as there are currently no industry association which are able to offer any of the support offered by AFWPI. We abide by a code of ethics and are able to network both virtually and sometimes face to face with other members, which allow us access to another level of professionals not available to us here in Australia. We in turn are able to share this information with our students and ensure they are working with all the latest tools and trends.
