What opportunity is there for the employer to present their position on the apprentice’s competence and/or completion?
RTOs are required to obtain written confirmation of the apprentice’s competence in the workplace before the apprenticeship can be completed. Employers will be contacted regularly by the RTO throughout the apprentice’s training to determine their competence. The final part of this involves the employer writing to the RTO confirming the apprentice’s competence. This process is agreed to by both the employer and the RTO when the Training Plan is developed. Apprentices will have a number of opportunities to discuss their progress and competency development with their RTO and employer throughout the apprenticeship. If there is difference of opinion regarding competence, an issue resolution process is available.
