About this webinar
Can Your RTO Demonstrate Ongoing Compliance? Are your practices, systems, and processes effectively self-assured? Join us to learn how to build a robust self-assurance system and meet compliance requirements with confidence
The VET sector is undergoing significant changes with the introduction of the Standards for RTOs 2025, which emphasise a culture of self-assurance as a key compliance strategy. These new standards aim to enhance trust in the quality of training outcomes and credentials issued by RTOs.
This webinar explores the core principles of self-assurance, which are essential for aligning with the 2025 Standards. You’ll discover how the three pillars of an effective self-assurance system—a strong quality framework, skilled staff, and impactful self-evaluation practices—will prepare your organisation to thrive under these new requirements.

Nicole Maloni
Javier is an excellent presenter who knows his subject matter and how to present it so that everyone can understand. Because this particular topic is complex additional time was required. Javier did something that does not happen very often - he asked if participants could stay on longer and he didn't rush through the final points of the session. I have found that every interaction with Insources has been professional, informative and completely relevant to my work. Thank you
Judith Evans
Excellent. Will highly recommend.
