RTO Compliance Webinar Week: Quality and Integrity of VET
21 - 25 October 2024 | 10:00 AM - 11:35 AM
Prepare yourself and your team for the biggest regulatory change of the last decade
Why should I attend the RTO Webinar Week?
Recent scrutiny of RTOs has spotlighted significant compliance challenges within the sector. With over 60% of RTOs audited between July 2023 and March 2024 failing to meet regulatory standards, it is clear that the move towards a self-assurance model needs to be accelerated. These findings by ASQA underscore the urgent need for RTOs to strengthen their compliance strategies.
Navigating the complex and ever-evolving legislative landscape of RTO management poses a substantial risk. Regulatory tools often overlap, creating confusion and uncertainty not only for managers but also for trainers and administrative staff. This webinar is designed to demystify these complexities, offering clear, actionable guidance to enhance your compliance strategies and secure the integrity of your operations.
Join us for an insightful five-day journey, comprising two-hour sessions each day, where we will equip you with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate and excel in the current RTO regulatory environment.

The resources provided were very practical and are going to be extremely useful as I prepare for my re-registration audit. Thanks for running such a valuable webinar.
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.
