46  Commencement and duration of accreditation
 (1) Accreditation of a course:
 (a) commences:
 (i) if it is a renewal of the course's accreditation as a VET accredited course—in accordance with paragraph 50(3B)(b); or
 (ii) in any other case—on the day specified in a written notice given to the applicant; and
 (b) subject to subsections (2) and 50(3), expires at the end of the period determined by the National VET Regulator, unless the accreditation of the VET accredited course is cancelled before that time.
Note: Subsection 50(3) provides for the accreditation of a VET accredited course to continue in force if a decision is not made on a renewal application until after the accreditation would otherwise expire.
 (2) The National VET Regulator may, in exceptional circumstances, extend the period for which a VET accredited course is accredited without the person in respect of whom the course is accredited needing to apply for the accreditation of the course to be renewed.
 (3) If the accreditation of a VET accredited course is so extended, a reference in this Act to the period for which a course is accredited is to be read as a reference to that period as so extended.
