Only Ten Months to Go!

Only Ten Months to Go! image

The first deadline from Clause 1.10 is quickly approaching!

The Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) 2015 came into effect for existing RTOs on Wednesday 1 April 2015

Clause 1.10 of the legislation for all RTOs regulated by the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) states that as a minimum “…each training product is validated at least once every five years, with at least 50% of products validated within the first three years of each five-year cycle…”.

In ten short months, all ASQA RTOs already operating as at Thursday 1 January 2015 must have validation completed for 50% of the training products on their scope of registration.

Time has flown by quickly and for any RTO which is yet to start their systematic validation, this is a timely reminder to get started today!

Velg Training offers an array of products and services to assist RTOs who need help getting this essential activity underway, get it progressing and/or completed.

  • Velg Training’s Validation Directory is one avenue that can connect you with other RTOs with similar scope and validation requirements, and those who have opted to participate in the ‘like for like’ program.
  • The Velg Training VET Directory is another avenue you can search on for specialist Vocational Education and Training (VET) consultants to access expertise targeted to your specific requirements.

Access both the Validation Directory and the VET Directory through the Knowledge Hub on the Velg Training website.

Another option is to get in touch with Velg Training’s Consulting Team. Velg Training offers specialised VET consulting services, and our team of VET specialists are always happy to discuss how they can help you.

Aside from expert assistance with validation requirements, Velg Training’s consultants cover all areas of RTO operations and management including (but not limited to):

  • review of training products
  • learning materials
  • assessment tools
  • Training and Assessment Strategies (TAS)
  • staff profiles/HR matrices
  • assistance with your RTO’s Quality System (setup and/or review)
  • compliance mapping
  • Subject Matter Expert (SME) input/validation of training materials (SMEs for a range of training packages including SIR, BSB, TAE)
  • customised resources and templates
  • customised learning materials
    • development of bespoke resources
    • review and adaptation of ‘off-the-shelf’ materials (within any licensing arrangements)

In preparation for compliance with the approaching deadline, consider your RTO’s position and any gaps that may need addressing, and remember that Velg Training is here to help!
