Understanding Violence in Victorian RTOs: Key Findings & Recommendations (2025)

Violence in the workplace is a pervasive issue across Australia, and this study aims to fill the knowledge gap regarding its prevalence and impact specifically within Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) in Victoria.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

The aim of RPL is to formally recognise existing competencies without having to go through the complete training process.

Trainer and Assessor Requirements

Delivery of quality vocational training relies on having properly qualified educators with relevant experience. Specific requirements for trainers and assessors are mandated by the Standards.

Trainer and assessor competencies - Standards 3.2 and 3.3

Standards 3.2 and 3.3 relates to the focus area of trainer and assessor competencies.

Working Under Direction

The Standards use the term “direction” to describe the arrangement where a person is working under the responsibility of a qualified trainer or assessor. It applies when a person does not yet hold the required credentials to deliver training or make assessment judgements.

Recognition of prior learning and credit transfer - Standard 1.6 and 1.7

Standard 1.6 and 1.7 relates to the focus area of recognition of prior learning and credit transfer.

Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence

The Principles of Assessment and the Rules of Evidence guide assessors in making consistent, justifiable decisions about a student’s competency, regardless of their delivery context or learning pathway.

Section 2: Credentials for the delivery of training products from the TAE Training Package

Section 2 of the Credential Policy specifies credential requirements for individuals delivering training and assessment for training products from the TAE Training Package.

Records Management and Data Retention

Records management and data retention are important activities in an RTO, ensuring that records are created, stored securely and preserved for as long as they are needed.

Section 1: Credentials for the delivery of training and assessment
