One of the grand highlights of the ACPET 2012 Conference was the presentation of the ACPET Awards for Excellence during the Conference dinner.

The evening was full of excitement providing an opportunity for members to celebrate and recognise the best of the best. 

All finalists for the ACPET Awards for Excellence showcased their commitment to quality and demonstrated the diversity of vocational training and higher education offered by ACPET members.

The winners were judged by a panel of independent eminent judges from industry groups, ISCs, government departments and other stakeholders.

ACPET congratulates all Award winners.  Details of the ACPET Awards for Excellence 2013 will be released early next year.

You can view video coverage of the conference and awards at SkillsOne.
