Retainers and compliance packages
For providers that want compliance handled continuously rather than rescued annually.
Retained senior consultants every month, or a complete compliance package with audit, PD and validation built in.
The problem
A retainer provides ongoing access to compliance advice and agreed support hours. Choose a package that fits your organisation’s needs, with a named consultant and a clear scope of work.

Case studies
Relevant case studies
“The facilitators are very knowledgeable and customised the training based on the needs of our organisation. Practical case study examples were shared throughout, which helped to contextualise our learnings. The training was delivered online with regular breaks, which helped to maintain focus and sustain concentration levels. I highly recommend the CEO Awareness training to any person who is responsible for a Registered Training Organisation.”
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do unused hours roll over?
Retainers are billed for the agreed period whether or not the full allocation is used, and unused allocation does not roll over unless expressly agreed in the engagement documents.
