Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) 2015
The objectives of the Standards are to ensure nationally consistent, high-quality training and assessment services for the clients of Australia’s vocational education and training (VET) system. The purpose of these Standards is to:
- set out the requirements that an organisation must meet in order to be a registered training organisation (RTO);
- ensure that training products delivered by RTOs meet the requirements of training packages or VET accredited courses, and have integrity for employment and further study; and
- ensure RTOs operate ethically with due consideration of learners’ and enterprises’ needs.
The Standards form part of the VET Quality Framework. As defined in section 3 of the Act, the VET Quality Framework is comprised of the Standards for Registered Training Organisations, the Australian Qualifications Framework, the Fit and Proper Person Requirements, the Financial Viability Risk Assessment Requirements and the Data Provision Requirements. Compliance with the Standards is a condition for all NVR RTOs and for applicants seeking registration under the Act.
