Registered Training Organisations

Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) are the front line of the VET system. They are registered by the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) as providers and assessors of nationally recognised training and qualifications. Employers rely on RTOs to provide essential skills and knowledge to both new entrants and existing workers.

 

High-quality training and assessment allows students to feel well equipped for employment or further study. Their qualification is seen as valuable when they enter the job market and employers recognise they have the skills and competencies specified in their qualification.

 

AIS is proud to develop Training Packages on behalf of several industries (see below) to ensure skills are contemporary, future-focused and aligned with industry’s needs.

Providing feedback on Training Package development

Feedback from industry stakeholders is extremely valuable and helps the Industry Reference Committee (IRC) improve the industry Training Packages. It also informs industry advice and intelligence about issues related to the implementation of various training package products. AIS welcomes feedback on any relevant Training Package related matter including:

  • New units of competency, qualifications or skill sets you would like to see developed
  • Typographical errors
  • Amendments to units of competency, qualifications and skill sets
  • Suggestions to improve any existing content of a Training Package

Your feedback will be initially reviewed by Australian Industry Standards staff and a response will be provided within 10 working days. Where appropriate, your feedback will be forwarded to the relevant Industry Reference Committee for consideration and additional feedback may be requested when required.

 

To ensure you are consulted, please subscribe to receive project updates for the training package/s you are interested in, alternatively, you can follow us on social media and check our current projects page on a regular basis.
