The Australian Centre for Financial and Environmental Compliance (ACFEC) is registered by the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) as a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) to deliver quality-assured and nationally recognised training to public sector and local government agencies in Australia and internationally.
ACFEC distinguishes itself from other training providers by working closely with our clients to contextualise training materials. Our approach creates practical and relevant training materials, and ultimately improves and enhances compliance and enforcement outcomes in organisations.
At ACFEC we use a learning pedagogy which identifies, designs, develops and implements learning solutions for clients. We implement this pedagogy by contextualising our training approach, learning material, scenarios and assessments to client’s needs. This contextualisation recognises the risk management, operational, legislative and governance requirements of clients and ensures that the learning methodology is adapted to the particularities of the client. We ensure the training is challenging and engaging and gives effect to the clients’ operational and jurisdictional framework.
The Diploma is particularly suited to people with management responsibility (or those wishing to progress into management) for procurement and contracting including coordinated procurement across the whole-of-government. You will also learn how to plan, finalise and manage the process and how to use complex workplace communication strategies and manage the whole supply chain.
