Overview
Trainer and assessor competency is the single most scrutinised area of any ASQA audit, and the Standards for RTOs 2025 raise the bar again. In this session, Sam unpacks exactly what 'competent' means under the new framework: vocational competency, training and assessment qualifications, industry currency, and the evidence trail that proves all three. Practical, trainer-focused, and grounded in what auditors are actually asking for.
