With ASQA’s current focus on RTOs implementing self-assurance practices and being able to demonstrate that the RTO is a quality provider, there is a massive demand within the VET sector for highly knowledgeable and suitably qualified and experienced RTO auditors.
Auditing is a highly specialised field of practice, and it is essential for RTO auditors to have the specialised skills, knowledge, and expertise to identify any current and potential non-compliances with the Standards for RTOs, the NVR Act and the RTO’s other legal obligations.
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.
As a VET Compliance Practitioner, there are several skills, abilities and knowledge areas that are essential for you to be 100% effective in your RTO Compliance role, including:
a thorough, in-depth understanding of the correct interpretation of the Standards for RTOs
a thorough, in-depth understanding of to effectively implement the Standards for RTOs in your RTO’s compliance system
the skills and knowledge to rectify non-compliances that have been identified during internal compliance reviews
This Skill Set is for RTO Compliance Practitioners who are required to lead audits as a part of their job role.

Given that may of the Clauses within the Standards for RTOs interact with one another, and without a comprehensive understanding of each clause and the relationship between the various clauses, your effectiveness as a compliance practitioner is limited and you cannot be fully effective unless you have a complete and comprehensive understanding of the interpretation and application of the clauses within the Standards for RTOs.
In Module 1 of the RTO Standards Unpacked! we unpack the Standards to a practical level where the meanings and interpretations of each Standard/Clause are explained for everyday use.
At the end of this component, you will have the skills and knowledge to:
implement the Standards for RTOs in your RTO’s day-to-day operations
