#2021NVC: RTO Administration Essentials

#2021NVC: RTO Administration Essentials image

This year's National VET Conference brings to you a number of VET themed categories which enable you to select the key areas of importance to you and your RTO. We appreciate how important it is to engage in the right activities that provide a professional development experience of direct value to your own learning and continuous improvement needs.

The RTO Administration and Government/Regulator categories bring you SIX vocational education and training experts delivering sessions across this 2-day conference covering a range of areas relating specifically to the essential administrative practices required of RTOs and current regulatory reforms applicable to compliant RTO practices.

Take a look at these exciting sessions below:



ASQA's regulatory reforms: what do they mean for providers?
Anthony Barkey, Director Regulatory Operations, Australian Skills Quality Authority
Day 1, Session 1



Join ASQA as we discuss changes to our regulatory approach, including how a greater focus on outcomes and stakeholder collaboration works to build and support capability for self-assurance and continuous improvement across the sector.



What auditors are looking for in completed student files
Kevin Ekendal, Managing Director, Audit Express
Day 1, Session 2


This session will look at a student file from the auditor’s lens and explore a number of questions.  You will leave this session with a clear understanding of the requirements and regulatory obligations for student files, including advice and tools on how to prepare a student file from the auditor’s lens to best support the student experience and best practice outcomes.



Future Work, Future Jobs
Joshua Raynor, Jobs Queensland Executive Director
Day 2, Session 4




A highly skilled workforce is needed to underpin our future prosperity, and VET plays a major role in the supply of skills. What is unclear is how the VET system will need to transform to support the future workforce.  The economy and labour market are changing; our population is growing, and new industry sectors are emerging. The presentation will focus on key findings from Jobs Queensland’s Future Work project and how these can impact decision making across all industries including VET.



The keys to RTO administration success!
Angela McGregor, Owner & Principal Consultant, RTO Consulting
Day 2, Session 2



Administration of systems, processes and practices in an RTO is critical to its success! Understanding and continuously improving the administration of an RTO is something RTO Managers, Operational Managers, Administrators and Trainers and Assessors ALL play an important role in. This session will unpack these important components of Administration of an RTO.



VET Student Loans - Past, Present and Future
Kathy Dennis, VET Student Loans, Department of Education, Skills and Employment
Day 2, Session 2




This presentation will outline the learnings from the operation of the program since its introduction, the findings from key reviews, the impacts of covid and any proposed changes to the program.



Retention of Evidence
David Garner, Principal Consultant, Consult-dg
Day 2, Session 3



RTOs are faced with a variety of record-keeping requirements scattered across the Standards for RTOs, the Australian Qualifications Framework and the Data Provision Requirements. Where an RTO delivers courses to overseas students, they are also subject to such requirements in the National Code.  This session will provide an overview of these requirements and discuss the importance of having strong and efficient administrative processes to ensure these are complied with, without overloading the organisation in ‘administrivia’.



A risk-based approach to regulation: what does this require from providers?
Anthony Barkey, Australian Skills Quality Authority
Day 1, Session 3




This session will discuss ASQA’s work in intelligence sharing and risk management, to support providers in understanding risks, innovating regulatory practice, and driving self-assurance and continuous improvement across the sector.
