Outcome Standards

The Outcome Standards set out the key elements of quality training and assessment, which organisations must demonstrate to be registered, and maintain registration, as a training provider.

Scope of Registration

Scope of registration (scope) refers to all of the accredited training products (Accredited Courses, Qualifications, Skill Sets and Units of Competency) an RTO is registered to deliver.

Training and Assessment Strategies (TAS)

A TAS is a framework that identifies the structure for the way in which a training product is delivered to learners and the way assessment will occur.

Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA)

The Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) is the national regulator for Australia’s VET sector.

Assessment Systems

An assessment system encompasses the policies, procedures, and tools used to gather and interpret evidence of a student's skills and knowledge.

Section 1: Credentials for the delivery of training and assessment

Section 1 of the Credential Policy specifies credential requirements for individuals delivering training and assessment for all training products other than from the Training and Education (TAE) Training Package.

Training Products

Training Products are the items that an RTO lists on its scope of registration. They are what the RTO is registered to deliver, assess and issue AQF documentation for.

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.

Facilities, resources and equipment

Ensuring the right facilities, resources and equipment are in place is essential to delivering quality training and assessment.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

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

Fees and Refunds

All RTOs must be explicit about their policies for collecting fees from students, and the conditions under which refunds may be issued.

Mapping

Assessment needs to be fit-for-purpose and consistent with the specific training product. Mapping is the process of checking and recording all necessary information is addressed.
