Welcome to the RTO Superhero Podcast, where we dive deep into the world of education and training. In this episode, we take a comprehensive look at the Draft Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) released in October 2022. These standards serve as a crucial framework for maintaining quality within the training and assessment industry. Join me, Angela Connell-Richards, as we break down the five quality areas outlined in the draft and explore their impact on RTOs.

Throughout the episode, we explore each quality area and discuss the expectations and requirements set forth by the Standards. From training and assessment to learner support, workforce qualifications to engagement with industry and employers, and effective governance, we cover it all. Whether your RTO is already meeting the current standards or needs to make significant changes, this episode provides valuable insights into the draft standards' potential impact on your organisation.

Understanding and complying with the Draft Standards is crucial for RTOs aiming to provide high-quality vocational education and training. The episode highlights the importance of effective governance, educational and support services, fair and reliable assessment practices, and compliance with the Australian Qualifications Framework.

By listening to this episode, RTOs can gain a comprehensive understanding of the Draft Standards and how they might shape the future of education and training in Australia. We encourage all RTOs and industry stakeholders to provide feedback on the next round of draft standards, as your input can help shape the industry's quality standards.
