The Training Accreditation Council (the Council) is calling for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) to be part of its Pilot Program (the Pilot) to review the revised Standards for Registered Training Organisations (the Standards). RTOs can register for the pilot program via the Expression of Interest form below.
The Pilot is an excellent opportunity for RTOs to participate and help shape their understanding of the revised Standards and guide their transition.
Timetable for rollout of the Pilot is between mid October and mid December 2023.
The Objectives of the Pilot Program are to:
- assist RTOs to understand and manage the changes required;
- test the functionality of the Standards;
- identify the range of evidence which could be used to demonstrate compliance; and
- pinpoint areas where additional guidance may be needed.
The Council’s Pilot is voluntary and the selection process will consider RTOs from different locations, size, scale and scope of operations. As the Pilot is not an audit, the outcomes from discussions with individual RTOs will have no regulatory impact.
The Council is working with the Commonwealth Government’s Department of Employment and Workplace Relation (DEWR) and VET Regulators, to progress the revised Standards. A survey, developed by DEWR is now available. Input is sought from all RTOs on how they would demonstrate compliance with the Standards, drawing on existing quality practice. Completion of the survey and participation in the Pilot will inform any feedback on the revised Standards.
Further information on the Pilot Program and the revised Standards is available on the TAC website.
Click on the below link to complete the Expression of Interest form by 23 October.
