A quick guide on how to create competency-based assessment
Right now in VET, competency-based assessment is key for ensuring learners become work and industry-ready.
As 2025 draws to a close, we’re taking a moment to reflect on an extraordinary year of transformation, innovation and partnership within the aXcelerate community. Across more than 1,300 organisations, training providers and enterprise teams harnessed the power of aXcelerate to drive stronger outcomes for learners, streamline compliance and elevate the training experience.
Our mission – to help you transform lives through skills development, support lifelong learning and make quality training easier to deliver – has guided every milestone we reached in 2025. We’re grateful for your trust, feedback and collaboration, which continue to push us to build with intention and purpose.
This year, the aXcelerate community achieved remarkable outcomes:
These numbers aren’t just statistics – they represent real impact for organisations, learners and communities across Australia.
This year we delivered 130+ new features and enhancements, all aimed at making everyday workflows faster, easier and more dependable for training organisations.
One of our biggest milestones was the launch of aXcelerate Skills – a purpose-built solution designed for high-risk industries. Skills connects training outcomes with real-world competency and readiness, giving organisations a complete view of workforce capability and confidence in deployment decisions.
Learner Onboarding transformed the enrolment experience by capturing essential compliance data upfront – reducing manual data entry and improving learner engagement from the first click.
We reimagined the Client Portal, giving organisations self-service tools, real-time learner insights and branded experiences that elevate partner relationships.
2025 wasn’t just about product releases – it was about empowering people too.
Our partner network continued to grow and play a key role in expanding what’s possible with aXcelerate – from technology integrations to strategic collaborations that enrich the ecosystem and deliver more value for clients.
We also welcomed 26 new team members, growing the aXcelerate family to 130+ professionals dedicated to serving your needs – all while being recognised as a Great Place To Work for the third consecutive year.
To every client, partner and member of the aXcelerate community – thank you. Your commitment to excellence, innovation and learner success drives everything we do. We’re honoured to walk alongside you as we continue shaping the future of vocational education and training.
Here’s to a rewarding 2026 – with more innovation, deeper learning and shared success ahead! 🌟
