Our Client's specific needs are always our prime focus. We work to a Client Performance and Quality Plan which addresses and clearly details how we work, how we keep records and how we manage all matters relating to the client's needs. We draw up a project plan with you and we guarantee our price.
Training Packages provide the central system architecture. Training Packages specify the competencies that must result from the provision of learning services, industry requirements for assessment, and the qualifications that result from competence. In industry areas where there are not yet Training Packages, accredited courses are used instead.
Vocational Education and Training Consultants take the confusion out of compliance and the AQTF for your organisation.
What is the AQTF?
The Essential Standards for Registration
Training organisations must meet these standards in order to deliver and assess nationally recognised training and issue nationally recognised qualifications. They include three standards, a requirement for registered training organisations to gather information on their performance against three quality indicators , and nine conditions of registration.
The Australian Quality Training Framework or AQTF 2007 sets out the requirements for RTOs, including the three standards relating to training and assessment, client services and management systems. This document also includes a set of quality indicators to help the RTO continuously improve its training and assessment, and a set of conditions to be met while operating as a training provider.
Over the years AVEC People have assisted numerous organizations, both within Queensland and interstate to develop AQTF compliant systems and procedures to gain initial registration, or in preparation for external audit or extension to scope of registration. For the past two years two of our Partners have been a pre-qualified supplier of AQTF consulting services to the Queensland Department of Employment and Training, and have participated on a number of State and Federal working parties to increase the quality and consistency of training in Australia.
Whether you are an RTO employee or an AQTF auditor you already know how important it is to comply with the AQTF requirements - the nationally agreed quality framework for the Australian VET system.
Not only does AQTF compliance ensure that all of your students receive the best possible learner-centred training, therefore making your RTO more competitive by attracting a broad cross-section of clients, but it is also essential in order to retain RTO status.
The success of a course offered by a registered training organisation (RTO) often depends on the demand for that training service in its community.
An understanding of regional employment offerings and skill needs can help an RTO identify opportunities and then provide relevant training to satisfy them.
