RTOs
Registered training organisations
The Standards for RTOs 2025 changed what the regulator asks for and how. We keep your registration, your scope and your evidence in order, from initial registration through every audit and renewal.
Private RTOs are regulated by ASQA under the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator Act 2011 and the Standards for RTOs 2025 (Outcome Standards and Compliance Standards, full effect 1 July 2025), with self-assurance as the operating model. Applications for renewal must reach ASQA at least 90 days before registration expires.

Re-Registration Mock Audit and Gap Analysis
An RTO preparing for re-registration engaged CAQA to test its readiness before the regulator’s assessment. The provider wanted to know whether its systems, documentation and evidence would withstand scrutiny under the Standards for RTOs 2025.

Hundreds of RTOs engaged CAQA to align their systems and documentation with the Standards for RTOs 2025 and build the self-assurance approach required under the revised framework.

A large RTO faced one of the most demanding quality assurance projects in its operating history: the validation of more than 1,000 units of competency within a nine-month period. The organisation had a broad scope of registration and needed to ensure that its assessment system could produce valid, reliable and defensible assessment judgements across a substantial volume of training products.

An RTO that had received a compliance notice engaged CAQA to manage its rectification response. The provider needed to respond clearly, gather evidence and demonstrate that corrective actions had been implemented.
Read the case study“The course was very well structured, efficiently conducted, and built using a blend of core and customised content that we had requested. Being new to running an RTO this has filled in all my gaps, ones I knew, and those I did not know I had. I found Sukh and Michelle incredibly knowledgeable, constantly providing real-life examples for us to learn from. It is an added benefit to have two people who remain as active consultants in the space bringing us the most recent examples to share in the learning. I would suggest any person new to leading an RTO invest in this training; I wish I had done this earlier. It will help you make more informed decisions as you get your RTO up and running.”
“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.”
