Foundations of RTO Compliance

Foundations of RTO Compliance

The Foundation of RTO Compliance course is the ideal way for new entrants to the VET sector to learn the basics of RTO Operations and Compliance.

This non-accredited bespoke course has been specifically developed by Alex Schroder, Australia’s leading VET Forensic Auditor, RTO Rectification Specialist and creator of CIV in RTO Compliance and Diploma of RTO Compliance Management and is 100% contextualised to RTO Operations and Compliance.

After completing the first two non-accredited Foundations modules in the course, you will complete a third non-accredited unit, Demystifying the RTO Standards. This unit is part of AICP’s ground-breaking new course The RTO Standards Unpacked!

In Demystifying the RTO Standards we unpack the Standards to a practical level where the meanings and interpretations of each Standards/Clause are explained for everyday use.

You will also learn how a large number of Clauses within the Standards for RTOs correlate with one another.  This unit provides a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between the various clauses in the Standards for RTOs and is essential knowledge for all VET Practitioners.

Why is RTO Compliance so important?

With the VET sector being as highly regulated as it is, your RTO’s compliance with the NVR Act, the Standards for RTOs and the various other laws and regulations is critical.  ASQA’s focus on Provider Self-Assurance means that your RTO must be able to demonstrate practices, systems and processes to critically examine its performance and student outcomes on an ongoing basis.
