Here's what we offer to support your ongoing professional learning and for RTOs, growth in staff knowledge, and quality in operations
A fireside chat with a highly experienced compliance team - who've sat on both sides of the audit table: Home truths about capability, compliance and what really happens! The 5-session series will explore the home truths that often emerge when operational practice is tested against policy, process, and expectation. Drawing on lived audit and sector experience (Ian has 40+years in VET), the discussion will unpack the difference between hypothetical capability and proven capability, and challenge some of the assumptions and mistruths that quietly weaken regulatory and RTO performance.
Draw on knowledge from having been a former RTO and CRICOS owner and ex-auditor for the regulator at national and state levels. This is the series that shares what every RTO needs to know!
Session one was met with overwhelmingly positive reviews, and attendees took home a quick-check list of items to review. Don't miss out on the rest of the sessions
