Does an RTO need to chase a previous employer to get their sign off?
Maybe. If an apprentice changes employer, but stays with the same RTO then that RTO will have to obtain confirmation of competence from the previous employer if the apprentice is seeking credit transfers for skills already achieved and recognised by a previous training provider. However, if the apprentice changes employer and RTO, the new RTO will not have to obtain confirmation of competence from the previous employer. Changing employers and RTOs during an apprenticeship will require a new Training Contract to be developed. As part of this process an Apprenticeship Field Officer will contact the employer and apprentice to help ensure that the new arrangements are suitable to meet the apprentice’s skill needs to achieve the competencies for the qualification.
