What Our Clients Think About Vivacity

“I would like to thank you to Vivacity Team for the great workshops – it was really engaging and informative. Thank you specially to Angela for her passion, energy and enthusiasm in delivering the workshops. I will surely recommend Vivacity to other VET practitioners who are looking for professional development.”

“The Vivacity team are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. We recently added a course to scope and with Amanda’s experience, expertise and guidance we felt prepared. The team was extremely helpful through the process and We launched our newest course with complete confidence.

As a small RTO the weeks are hectic and compliance can be overwhelming (and confusing!)  but with Vivacity behind us I know I have a good structure to follow and I can call them anytime and ask anything. No question is too complex or simple.”

“That Zoom session (Vivacity Mastermind) last week made me really think about “thriving” rather than just “surviving” during this time and beyond.”

“During the latter of half of 2018, I engaged Vivacity to assist me through the initial registration for the registration of an RTO.

The reason I chose Vivacity above anyone else was that they were the only consultancy company willing to disrupt their business model to accommodate the 1st July 2018 deadline imposed by ASQA for initial registrations

Amanda Starkey, Kirstin Ritchens and the Vivacity Team successfully coached me through the initial registration process, and later through an appeal lodged with the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT). I found the entire team highly professional and accommodating. Their knowledge of VET and

The AAT was first rate and if it wasn’t for Vivacity and the team I would not have gained registration.

Vivacity’s KickStart Package provided all the documents and resources needed for initial registration and a later AAT appeal. The comment of the ASQA Auditor during initial registration, that the documents provided by Vivacity in their KickStart Package were first rate, gave me great confidence and comfort that I was in good hands with Vivacity.

Vivacity’s Training and Assessment Strategies (TAS) Staff Matrix, Industry Survey, Delivery and Assessment Plan and the various templates were excellent and were in part complimented by ASQA.

I would not hesitate to recommend Vivacity, their coaching team, and their KickStart package to any organisation or person who is contemplating registration as an RTO.”

“We had our course successfully reaccredited thanks in large part to Vivacity and their highly experienced staff. (so major recommendation there…..RESULTS were achieved!).

We also greatly appreciated the smoothness of the Vivacity systems and the way that each member of the Vivacity Team knew what to do and handled our questions along the way with the ultimate level of professionalism.

There were more than one Vivacity team members who worked on our case along the way- each with different skills and areas of expertise and we really appreciated this. Sometimes a small RTO like ours gets allocated the ‘rookie’ because we are not a large client- but this didn’t happen with Vivacity and we really appreciated that.”

“Angela and the Vivacity team helped us get our RTO registered with ASQA which we are so excited about. Her knowledge, experience and understanding of the processes, regulations and legislation were invaluable and honestly, we couldn’t have done it without her.  We would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat! We look forward to launching our RTO and hope to work with Angela and Vivacity again in the future.”

“On behalf of the MEA Board and myself I would like to thank you all for your support, guidance and work in making this happen for Meetings & Events Australia.

I must say that when I started the process it was overwhelming and very stressful. I thought that MEA had no hope in being renewed as a RTO. This could not have been achieved this without the Vivacity team.

It has been a very pleasant experience working with you. Your organisation is informed, professional and experienced in all that is RTO.

MEA looks forward to continuing to work with you to ensure that MEA remains compliant and up to date with all the changes that occur in delivering education to the meetings and events industry.“

“Holy Family Services is a small boutique RTO who rely heavily on Vivacity for our compliance day to day operations. Recently we conducted an internal audit to stay on top of any non compliance issues we may have before an ASQA audit. I was very happy with the service, the advice and the follow up through Vivacity and the entire team. They carry out support, continue the support throughout the year and do what ever it takes to ensure our RTO has all the correct information. I would like to thank Angela and her team for continuing to support us here at Holy Family Services.”

I would like to thank you for the expertise and commitment you provided during our recent response to an official complaint received by ASQA against our RTO.

Your guidance and expertise enabled us to respond successfully to a number of non-compliances identified during the ASQA complaint investigation. These included re writing our Training and Assessment Strategy, re writing assessment material, describing accurately our trainers’ credentials and clarifying information distributed to students prior to enrolment.

This enabled our organisation to be deemed compliant and to avoid an ASQA decision to imposed sanction and remove one of our qualifications from our scope.

Vivacity RTO Coaching has been our compliance partner since October 2013 and has greatly assisted us in day-to-day management of compliance and successful re registration in 2016.

I would have no reservations recommending your services to other RTO’s and look forward to working with you into the future.

Angela and her team are proactive and on top of things. I would recommend Vivacity in a heartbeat to anyone looking at compliance or event help with anything to do with running an RTO as the vast knowledge the team has is very impressive. I hope my testimonial will make you choose them, as they are the best out there.

I know Angela very well from last few years as we worked together set up our RTO (Pacific College Sydney). Angela and her team is very sincere, dedicated and co-operative about their service. Team Vivacity always works for the betterment of their clients. They try to know their clients very well, listen to them, and provide the best possible solutions. I hope Vivacity will be one of the leading consulting firm in Australia by continuously providing their wonderful services. God bless Angela, God bless Vivacity

The whole experience has been an extremely pleasurable and satisfying one. Vivacity’s exceptional skill in guiding us through the process was evident early on and their expertise and knowledge were invaluable to our cause.

Not only were we successful in the first attempt with our application, Vivacity remained constant contacting us and happily and promptly answered questions we continued to pose to them post application. Talk about old fashioned customer service.

From the entire Narbil team, we can’t thank Vivacity enough for their dedication, professionalism and generosity – your efforts are greatly appreciated.

AddOn and SystemsCheck | 2015 to 2016

I have used Vivacity Coaching & Consulting to undertake our initial application and audit. Fantastic!

Now that we are running with wet sales, Vivacity is always there for advice.

As an annual member they provide us with all the current RTO forms and documents specific for our company.

I have had the occasion to use Vivacity to undertake the add to scope process for new units and courses. This has been absolutely amazing, as they work you through all the documents and build the background, where we only need to add relevant information. Never a problem with approvals.

I can highly recommend Vivacity for any RTO in any field, as they make compliance and operating an RTO a sane process!

If you are out there trying to do it all by yourself, take off the rose coloured glasses and at least become a member with Vivacity, you will never look back!

Give Angela and her team a call.

Dave Hitchcock
Chief Executive Officer, Fireground, Dorrigo NSW

RTO KickStart, Membership and AddOn | 2014 to 2018

We are delighted to recommend Angela and her team at Vivacity. The road to accreditation is long and somewhat arduous. It can be a very steep learning curve and quite daunting on your own. We can’t speak highly enough of Vivacity’s thoroughness in preparing us and the level of support that helped us all the way through the accreditation process and through our initial audit. We had no rectifications and have just received news that our application has been approved. Thank you Vivacity!

Virginia McMurray
Training & Learning Manager, Passmores College, Newcastle NSW

RTO KickStart | 2014

Angela helped us through the new requirements to become a Registered Training Organisation. She was able to give us the infrastructure needed to pass the audit procedure. I have had 20 years in vocational education and training but mainly in large organisations where I concentrated on teaching, learning and assessment whilst other departments in the organisation took care of the quality control and funding matters. Angela offers this infrastructure and advice to small organisations who don’t have that luxury and could be overwhelmed by the registration process and still have a lot to offer the field in more innovative ways of delivery than large TAFEs are able to offer.
