Transitioning to the Outcome Standards for RTOs 2025 – Full-Day Workshop

Upgrade your systems to address the significant changes, minimise disruptions, and ensure your organisation is audit-ready. The Standards for RTOs 2025 mark a significant shift in Australia’s VET sector, reinforcing the quality and integrity of training delivery. These changes will impact governance, workforce planning, training and assessment, learner support, and industry engagement.

Join Javier Amaro, a leading RTO compliance expert with over 20 years of experience managing and auditing both private and public RTOs. Having successfully guided RTOs through multiple VET reforms—including the AQTF reforms (2001, 2004, 2007), the introduction of the National VET Act (2011), and the transition to the Standards for RTOs 2015—Javier will provide practical insights and expert guidance on adapting your RTO’s systems for the new regulatory framework.

This full-day interactive workshop will equip you with the tools and strategies needed to transition seamlessly to the Standards for RTOs 2025, ensuring compliance and operational excellence.

For those unable to attend in person, the workshop will be broadcasted live via Zoom, allowing remote participants to fully engage, ask questions, and interact with the presenter and fellow attendees in real time.
