What is a Registered Training Organisation?
Registered training organisation’s (RTO’s) are authorised to deliver Nationally Recognised Training. RTO’s can range from companies, industry and professional associations, to schools, TAFE and colleges. While RTO’s are diverse, ranging from large companies like McDonalds and Woolworths to smaller community-based organisations and schools, they all meet nationally recognised standards of quality and deliver nationally recognised training. These standards are set out and organisations audited to ensure quality, under the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF). Only RTO’s can deliver, assess and issue qualifications and statements of attainment which are nationally recognised, within the Australian Qualifications Framework. All RTO’s are listed on a national register of authorised organisations known as the National Training Information Service (NTIS), allowing potential clients to view an RTO’s services.
