Prepare yourself & your team for the biggest regulatory change of the last decade

Recent scrutiny of RTOs has spotlighted significant compliance challenges within the sector. With over 60% of RTOs audited between July 2023 and March 2024 failing to meet regulatory standards, it is clear that the move towards a self-assurance model needs to be accelerated. These findings by ASQA underscore the urgent need for RTOs to strengthen their compliance strategies.

Navigating the complex and ever-evolving legislative landscape of RTO management poses a substantial risk. Regulatory tools often overlap, creating confusion and uncertainty not only for managers but also for trainers and administrative staff. This webinar is designed to demystify these complexities, offering clear, actionable guidance to enhance your compliance strategies and secure the integrity of your operations.

Join us for an insightful five-day journey, comprising two-hour sessions each day, where we will equip you with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate and excel in the current RTO regulatory environment.

Recent questions about the integrity and quality of RTOs signal that ASQA has identified significant compliance gaps. The RTO Compliance Week 2024 is designed to arm you with the necessary insights, tools, and solutions to bridge these gaps and prepare you for the most significant regulatory changes in the last decade.
