Explore applying the Rules of Evidence in detail!

The Standards for RTOs 2025 requires trainers and assessors to have a strong understanding of the rules of evidence & to be able to apply these in a practical way, guided by the RTOs systems and processes.

In this professional learning workshop recorded in June 2025  we consider each of the four rules of evidence, going beyond the definitions under the SRTO 2025, into practical examples of ensuring your operations are implementing robust assessment processes and can justify the assessment judgements being made.

Whether you’re a new trainer or a seasoned assessor, this bundle will help you sharpen your judgement, strengthen your tools and lift the quality of your assessment practice.
