Seeking connection from a distance
We are all seeking connection and we need leadership in the crisis. We care to care, have compassion, and not buy into the limiting beliefs of others.
Initial RTO Registration
Tips to help you with registering your RTO. Ways to move forward in your journey.
RTO industry consultation made easy
It’s not just the TAS that needs to reflect the RTO Industry consultation.
RTOs also need to have their resources for training and assessment validated through consultation with industry.
Are you considering setting up an RTO?
Setting up an RTO starts with planning. The foundation of a successful RTO service is really understanding the demographics that the service appeals to. Who are the people you will attract into your RTO? Where do they live, who do they interact with; are they old, young, men, women; do they enjoy certain activities?
Training and assessment resources (Updated April 2021)
Training and assessment resources are sometimes the biggest investment you will make within your RTO. They take time and often money to get them right.
Speaking for our sector
It is my belief that skills-based training should be given a higher funding priority, to turbocharge its development to catch up with the current needs of industry.
This journey as an RTO is a joint journey – you can’t just sit back and watch it happen
Your RTO Success comes from the effort of you and your team. Recently I was reading an article written by a fellow consultant about the new Trainer and Assessor TAE requirements.
What is the future for RTOs in 2019 and beyond?
The training function within the RTO must be at the centre of this evolution, with skilled learning professionals leading the way. We are the experts, and we need to show everyone else how things are done.
The comment areas of non-compliance from recent RTO internal audits
Continuous improvement of RTO systems is an area that RTO’s often fall down in according to my conversations with accrediting bodies. It is about taking a really hard look at your practices and relating them back to the RTO Standards.
Your Assessment system needs a variety of assessment evidence
Assessment systems are incremental in your RTO. There should be method in your madness when developing them. Meaning you should consider the student, the length of the course and any other factors that need to be considered for your learners. When collecting assessment evidence is isn’t just to show the end result.
Training and Assessment strategies – getting them right (Updated Mar2021)
Your TAS document that you present says nothing in particular and was put together just to meet and audit many moons ago. The big thing is, it is NOT compliant now. It hasn’t been updated and this means during your next audit it wont pass. You need to make changes to it right now.
Are you frustrated just like me?
The industry is changing rapidly, some would complain and argue about it, others are grateful of the changes. The fact is we need to be on a continuous learning journey. All of us, VET consultants as well.
