Background
This enterprise RTO delivers safety and operational training for the mining and resources sector. A recent ASQA audit identified non-compliance related to trainer vocational currency and documented industry engagement.
The Challenge
The audit findings focused on two key areas: insufficient evidence of trainer industry currency for high-risk qualifications, and inadequate documentation of industry consultation in training product development.
With a 20-day statutory rectification period, the RTO needed to move quickly while ensuring their response would fully satisfy the auditor.
Our Approach
We immediately engaged with the audit findings, developing a targeted rectification plan that addressed each specific concern raised by ASQA.
For trainer currency, we worked with their trainers to document recent industry activities and establish ongoing currency maintenance plans. For industry engagement, we implemented a structured consultation framework with documented evidence.
The rectification response was drafted to directly address the auditor's language and demonstrate systemic improvements.

"When we got the audit findings, we panicked. The rectification support was exactly what we needed – fast, focused, and effective. Our registration is clear and our systems are stronger."
