Funding Fitness & Financial Viability for Sustainable Growth
Overview
Driver 7 — Financial Sustainability & Growth — is where many RTOs run into trouble: dependent on a single funding source, undercapitalised for growth, or running on margins too thin to survive a bad audit cycle. This masterclass covers funding fitness in 2026: diversifying revenue, understanding cost-to-deliver, building financial reserves, and modelling sustainable growth. Practical, financially grounded, and built around the realities of RTO economics.
