Discover the future of vocational education as industry mavens Marie from Compliance Assist and Angela from Vivacity unravel the complexities of RTO regulatory changes. Our latest episode promises to guide you through the maze of new assessment standards and the shifting regulatory environment. We tackle the critical balance between the government's hardline on quality assurance and ASQA's supportive ethos, providing exclusive insights into the implications these regulations have on the 'fit and proper person' criteria. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone invested in the present and future state of RTO audits and the VET sector's evolution.

As the Australian government's funding strategies fluctuate, so too does the landscape for Registered Training Organizations. Our guests discuss the readiness of RTOs to trial new educational standards, the move from a nurturing to a more punitive regulatory stance, and how these trends may affect industry motivation and educational quality. Tune in to glean expert viewpoints on the preparation needed for RTOs to navigate re-registration processes and understand the effects of funding shifts on state harmonization and the rise of non-accredited training. This episode is an invaluable resource for stakeholders aiming to remain proactive and well-informed during this transformative period for vocational education.
