RTO Marketing Guidelines: A Compliance Checklist for RTO Managers

 

RTOs are the backbone of Australia’s vocational education and training sector. Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) are registered with the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) to deliver nationally accredited training and assessment to students. As an RTO, you must comply with the National Standards for Training Packages, Units of Competency and Registered Training Qualifications (commonly referred to as the National Standards).

As per the National Standards for Registered Training organisations (RTOs), you must provide evidence to the Commonwealth Government that you’re compliant with all regulations, policies and procedures. You must also demonstrate that you’re actively managing your compliance with these regulations and policies. If you don’t, this could lead to the cancellation of your RTO accreditation.

Failure to comply with the National Standards for Registered Training Organisations is a serious matter, which may result in an investigation and the possibility of being decertified as an RTO. It’s crucial for RTOs to ensure their compliance and understand the implications if they don’t.
