Why RTO Mentor?
As an experienced RTO manager, I felt frustrated and disheartened by the recurring pattern of mismanagement and non-compliance I encountered in multiple RTOs. Each time I stepped into a new role, I was assured that the organisation was fully compliant and running smoothly, only to discover significant issues lurking beneath the surface. I would spend months and in some cases years, fixing the issues and then move on. I felt I was stuck in a never-ending loop of crisis management rather than driving genuine, industry-wide improvement.
The third time this scenario played out was the breaking point. I vividly remember walking into the office, filled with hope for a well-run RTO, and looking forward to inspiring the leaders. Only I was confronted with a mountain of compliance issues and operational inefficiencies. The stark contrast between the owner’s perception and the reality of the situation left me feeling overwhelmed and nearly brought me to tears.
Standing in that office, surrounded by evidence of systemic problems, I had an epiphany. I realized that the issue wasn’t isolated to just one or two RTOs, but was a widespread problem in the industry. At that moment, I decided that instead of continually trying to fix individual organisations from the inside, I needed to take a broader approach to create lasting change in the RTO sector.
I began researching RTO industry best practices, and effective management strategies specifically in learning & development. From all the sources I developed a comprehensive system that addressed common pitfalls and provided practical solutions for achieving and maintaining compliance. This system combined my years of hands-on experience with the latest management techniques and a deep understanding of regulatory requirements.
As an RTO consultant and mentor, I’ve been able to impact a much larger number of organisations. I now work with multiple companies and RTOs, helping them identify and address compliance issues, implement effective management systems, and create a culture of continuous improvement. The satisfaction of seeing RTOs transform from struggling entities to thriving, compliant organisations has been immensely rewarding. I know from feedback across the country that RTO Mentor has improved individual RTOs and also contributed to raising standards across the industry.
" When I first came to Merinda I was lacking knowledge in regards to the creation of an RTO, and the process involved. Merinda has a wealth of experience in training, auditing and RTO management so she was able to help and direct me in a language that I was able to understand."
"Merinda’s approach is very engaging and on a personable level combined with her knowledge of the training process she was able to simplify a complex system. Definitely call Merinda and discuss how she can help you. "
"Due to Merinda’s wealth of knowledge and experience she will be able to tailor a program for your needs. Whilst working with Merinda we have enjoyed the process, and the creation of documentation that is now used in the RTO and training space have improved in their clarity and ease of delivery. "
