Did you know the Australian Skills Quality Authority's (ASQA’s) regulatory experience and successive strategic industry reviews show that Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) frequently struggle to comply with clauses 1.5, 1.6 and 1.8?

Many RTO's were unable to demonstrate evidence of engaging with industry and employers to test that their training and assessment strategies and practices are relevant.
