Internal Audits

AQTF/ASQA/ESOS Audit Reports

There are different types of audits that RTOs may be required to undertake such as:

• an audit to assess an application for initial registration, extension to scope of registration or renewal of registration
• a post-initial audit, conducted within the first year of registration, to confirm that an RTO has deployed its planned approach to delivering training and assessment
• a monitoring audit to confirm that an RTO is continuing to comply with the AQTF Essential Conditions and Standards for Initial Registration and AQTF Essential Conditions and Standards for Continuing Registration as well as the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 
• a national strategic industry audit, conducted to confirm that an RTO's training and assessment services are meeting the requirements of a particular industry or licensing authority
• an audit to investigate a complaint made against an RTO.

We conduct comprehensive internal audits to ensure your training organisation has a planned, systematic and documented internal process to assess compliance with the AQTF Essential Conditions and Standards for Registration, the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (ASQA) and the ESOS National Code.

Internal audits provide information about the quality of training, assessment, client services and the management systems your organisation uses to support the continuous improvement of operations and outcomes.

We can provide valuable information to key staff members to ensure they understand the requirements of the Contract and the audit process and assist with collating all required data and files ready for audit in a logical and concise manner.

 Change of Scope Applications

You may wish to amend your scope of registration by deleting and/or adding qualifications, accredited courses, skill sets or individual units of competency to your delivery profile. Depending on whether you intend to deliver to domestic or overseas students, there are certain compliance requirements that must be met prior to submitting your application.

We can quality check your application to ensure you can lodge it with confidence.

In the event that additional work is required prior to submitting the application, we can assist you by developing an internal audit report that identifies any compliance gaps as well as develop all required supporting policies and procedures.
