One of the top non-compliance at an ASQA Audit is often the Trainers Matrix and this is due to a lack of knowledge on what should be included within the Trainers Matrix and how to ensure that it is compliant. What we often find is that the Trainers Matrix does not sufficiently map the skills and knowledge of the trainer against the units of competency.

In this episode you will learn:

• The importance of Existing Skills and Knowledge and how they should be mapped onto your Trainers Matrix
• Vocational competence
• Experience and Qualification Mapping
• Industry and VET Currency
• Professioanl Development
• Verifying your qualifications and experience

There is a change with how we are regulated, and it is for the better!

As the national VET Regulator, ASQA's role is to ensure quality vocational education and training so that students, employers, the community and governments can have confidence in the integrity of training products issued by you as an RTO.

We are already experiencing a range of changes in how RTOs are being regulated through a range of client Assessments (Audits) this year. It is so refreshing to see the change and how we are improving.

In this episode:

• How ASQA has changed
• The impact it will have on your RTO
• What is the future of ASQA Audits
