The National VET Regulator, the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA), has recently released a "Choosing a training or education provider Fact Sheet", which includes a "Consumer Checklist" to guide potential students/consumers to make an informed decision.
The mentioned document explain the "...most important things to look for when choosing a training or education provider..." The main aspects listed in the consumer checklist are:
Much training is done all around the world every year. Unfortunately, much of the money spent on training may be wasted because organisations do not evaluate the training outcomes. Even with the development of the National Training System, organisations may still be wasting money on the wrong kind of training and may not bother to determine how successful it is or if there is adequate return on the money invested in training and development activities. The introduction of the AQTF Quality Indicators may help RTOs with this issue and even provide valuable data on which to base organisational decisions.
The course outcome is to provide the skills and knowledge required to work effectively in a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) as administrative staff, to people providing support in areas such as course coordination, student services, administration, business development and financial services.
