What are the 3 Top Non-compliances at ASQA Audit?
In the realm of vocational education and training (VET), the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) acts as a vigilant guardian, ensuring quality and compliance across the sector. However, like in every superhero tale, villains lurk in the shadows. These non-compliances threaten to undermine the sector’s excellence and integrity. Through the lens of an ASQA audit, let’s unmask the top three non-compliances often encountered. Much like the seasoned superheroes at Vivacity Coaching and Consulting, we’ll unveil strategies to conquer these foes.
1. Incomplete or Inaccurate Assessment Evidence
The first villain on our list is the lack of strong assessment evidence. Assessment tools and methods must align well with the training package or accredited course requirements. Insufficient evidence can tarnish the competency of graduates, and in turn, the reputation of the Registered Training Organisation (RTO).
Strategy: Forge a solid assessment validation system. Make sure all assessment tools go through a systematic validation to meet training package requirements. Also, engage with industry experts to align assessment tools and methods with industry standards.
2. Trainer and Assessor Competencies
Next up, we face the foe of inadequate trainer and assessor competencies. ASQA mandates that trainers and assessors have the needed industry skills and up-to-date industry knowledge.
Strategy: Kick off a continuous professional development (CPD) program for trainers and assessors. This will ramp up their industry knowledge and vocational education and training (VET) sector expertise.
3. Insufficient or Outdated Training Resources
Lastly, we confront the adversary of outdated or insufficient training resources. These can severely hinder quality training delivery and impede the learner’s journey.
Strategy: Regularly review and freshen up training resources. Ensure they stay current, industry-relevant, and support the learning outcomes of the training product. Also, engage with industry stakeholders to meet the required standards.
In the battle against non-compliance, knowledge is our sword, and best practices are our shield. At Vivacity, we champion compliance, empowering RTOs to conquer non-compliance villains. This action sets the stage for a realm where quality education triumphs, and the legacy of excellence continues.

With Vivacity by your side, compliance becomes your ally in the quest for educational excellence.
