  2. Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF) The AQTF is the national set of standards which assures nationally consistent, high-quality training and assessment services for the clients of Australia’s vocational education and training system. AQTF 2010 is the current version of the framework.

  3. Component of the AQTF The Essential Standards for RegistrationTraining organisations must meet these standards in order to deliver and assess nationally recognised training and issue nationally recognised qualifications. Standards for State and Territory Registering BodiesState and Territory registering bodies are responsible for registering training organisations and for quality assuring the training and assessment services they provide. Excellence CriteriaThese are criteria that registered training organisations may use voluntarily to continue improving the quality of their training and assessment and to gain recognition of their performance.

  4. Essential Standards for Registration Comprises • 9 Conditions of Registration • 3 Standards • 3 Quality Indicators

  5. Conditions of Registration • Governance • Interactions with the registering body • Compliance with legislation • Insurance • Financial management • Certification & issuing of qualifications statements of attainment • Recognition of qualifications issued by other RTOs • Accuracy and integrity of marketing • Transition to training packages/ expiry of accredited courses http://www.nqc.tvetaustralia.com.au/aqtf_2010

  6. Essential Standards • Standard 1 The RTO provides quality training and assessment across all of its operations • Standard 2 The RTO adheres to principles of access and equity and maximises outcomes for its clients • Standard 3 Management systems are responsive to the needs of clients, staff and stakeholders, and the environment in which the RTO operates.

  7. Employer satisfaction(this includes competency development and training & assessment quality) Learner satisfaction(this includes learner engagement and competency development) Competency completion rate(This will be calculated for qualifications and units of competency) Essential Standards Quality Indicators

  8. Why the change from 2007 to 2010? • Strengthen Essential Standards for existing RTOs • Acknowledging the need to differentiate between providers that have proven track record and those that are new to the training industry • Changes in packaging rules (a) will provide RTOs with more electives that can be chosen from a broader range of units and (b) RTOs will be able to offer clients more choice to cover their specific needs.

  9. What are the changes from 2007 - 2010? • Changes to essential standards for registration • Changes to essential standards for initial registration • Major changes to packaging rules for the Training Packages

  10. The Major Changes The new packaging rules: • One third or more of total units required to gain a VETqualification will be electives • The choice of elective units can be broadened, to allow one sixthof total units to be included from other qualifications in a Training Package, other Training Packages and accredited courses • Licensed and trade occupations will be exemptfrom these measures • All units will be called either core or elective. Recommended combinations of electives for particularspecialisations will be presented as groups.
