What Is A Registered Training Organisation (RTO)?

Introduction:


RTOs are registered training organisations that deliver education in the Vocational Education Training (VET) system. The organisations are authorised to provide nationally recognised training and education in many industries located in Australia. Nationally recognised qualifications and the statement of attainment are also provided by the Registered Training Organisation. Moreover, the Registered Training Organisation can also apply for government funding to deliver VET services to their students. A Registered Training Organisation is registered by the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) as a provider of education that is recognised nationally.



In many industries, employers look forward to RTOs to provide them with a workforce prepared with the right knowledge and skillset suitable for the industry. When students are ground through high-quality training and assessment procedures, they feel well-equipped for future employment or further studies in the same field. The organisations that are not nationally recognised are also providing courses and certifications to the students, these certificates are usually titled “Certificate in XXXX”. These certificates do not have levels of certification like I-IV after the certificate.

According to the official website of the Australian Government, the Australian Skills Quality Authority (AQSA) there are 4000 RTOs in Australia and most of them are regulated by AQSA.
