Velg Training RTO Induction Program for Trainers and Assessors

This resource has been designed against the Standards for RTOs 2015 and is written with the assumption that the RTO is registered with ASQA. This is easily adaptable by the RTO if registered with TAC.

Trainers and Assessors are required to understand and follow the various policies and procedures that the RTO they work within have in place, in order to meet the requirements of the VET Quality Framework. The RTO has a responsibility to ensure that trainers and assessors are kept up-to-date on a wide range of information relevant to the VET sector, their role and responsibilities and the rights of their students as well as other administrative procedures within the RTO.

An effective process for ensuring trainers and assessors are updated appropriately is to have an annual or periodic update or induction program on the policies and procedures for the coming year or semester. This then provides a starting point for the timeframe and complements other ongoing procedures such as general VET meetings, emails and other methods of communication.

This induction resource contains:

• An instruction document on how to prepare for the induction process, including a list of documents to provide to your trainers and assessors.
• A PowerPoint presentation which can be adapted to suit your particular RTO (i.e. company logo, specific policies and procedures). The slides contain information to be explained to trainers and assessors along with prompts for when to refer to your own Quality Manual, or other similar document/s, and discuss the relevant policies and procedures, providing a comprehensive induction program specific to your RTO.
• A trainer and assessor induction checklist to keep as evidence of participation in the process (in .docx format).

Both the PowerPoint and induction checklist are fully customisable files and can be altered by the RTO.
