Note on Third Party Suppliers of Training
DTA can provide recommendations to third party services and resources, which have been reviewed by the DTA. This ensures that DTA clients have access to an extremely wide range of Australian and overseas resources so that their individual needs can be met through the provision of the best available materials.
Note on Training Accreditation
All DTA training activities attract either continuous professional development hours or a vocational level. These will be clearly marked and, where relevant, certificates of attendance or completion will be provided.
