What changed & how to implement it

ASQA has released version 2 of its Practice Guides. Join vetr Community Advisor Phill Bevan for a practical walkthrough of all 19 Guides & the implications for your RTO.

Turn the updated guidance into practical actions for your RTO. We will use the extensive change log & marked-up Guides to identify gaps, prioritise changes & work through the QMS updates recommended across training, assessment, student support, workforce & governance.

We'll also discuss where ASQA's FAQ differs from past answers to the same sector questions.
