Quality Auditing in Online Learning Guide

The implications of on-line delivery models for compliance under the Australian Quality Training Framework are covered in this Guide. It has been developed to support auditors and to supplement the national AQTF resources: Standards for Registered Training Organisations (ANTA 2001) and the Evidence Guide for Registered Training Organisations and Auditors (ANTA 2001).

  • A broad commentary on the implications of online delivery for compliance with the Standards for Registered Training Organisations
  • Suggestions for the types of evidence available for online learning which will support compliance
  • A starting point or base from which auditors can identify their particular information needs and access further resources and tools.

Who is it for
  • Auditors of VET online training programs under the AQTF
  • People responsible for planning the audit process
  • Anyone involved in planning and/or delivering auditor induction programs
  • RTOs planning to implement online programs or preparing for an audit will also find these resources useful.
