How to be RTO Audit Ready – P1

About This Episode

In this episode I will give you the benefit of my experience of over 400 ASQA RTO audits. As an RTO Consultant of many years, I’ve been around the block when it comes to audits and I’ve even conducted many audits on other people. But I wasn’t always an expert. In fact we all start off as novices at everything, right? Listen up as I go through my journey right from the beginning as a novice… there is a lot you can learn about how to do it and also, how not to do it!

In this episode you will learn:

  • How I got through my first experience of certified training
  • How to come back from having 80% of your program declared non-compliant
  • How I sold my RTO and made a success of it
  • Why you should do a mock audit well in advance of the real audit
  • Why you should never take the recommendations of an audit personally
  • What the regulators really want 
  • Why regulatory bodies won’t tell you what assessment tools to write
  • How to contextualise your assessment tools for your target audience
  • How a wide scope of qualifications might affect an audit
  • What to do when your policies get ripped apart
  • How I got into the position of no non-compliances for four years
  • The importance of a good team
