Start Your RTO · part of the CAQA group Australian vocational education and training

For Australian registered training organisations

Should you become an RTO at all?

Registration is not the only route to delivering training. Before committing to the project, it is worth testing whether it is the right structure for what you want to do.

The right answer is sometimes no, and that is worth knowing early.

Every route has a cost. The expensive mistake is choosing before comparing.

IWhat we do

What we do.

01

Become an RTO

Full control of scope, delivery and certification. The highest cost and the highest ongoing compliance burden.

02

Partner with an RTO

Deliver under an existing registration through a third party arrangement. Faster to market, less control.

03

Buy an existing RTO

Acquire a registration with scope already in place. Faster, but you inherit the compliance history.

04

Deliver non accredited

No registration required. No nationally recognised outcome either, which limits what learners can do with it.

IIWho it is for

Written for people who carry the risk.

Chief executives, compliance managers and quality leads at Australian registered training organisations, and the people considering becoming one. Everything here is written against the Standards for RTOs and the way they are actually assessed.

Not sure where to start

Describe the situation and we will tell you which part of it is urgent and which part can wait. That conversation costs nothing.
