Training Options
Staff Training
New regulatory auditing approach requires the institutions to follow the five phases of the student’s journey, grouping the relevant standards (and clauses) against each stage. ASQA has emphasised the importance of RTO practice to the quality of the student experience.
We offer standardised and customised training programmes designed to up-skill operational and frontline staff to meet the regulatory requirements, on developments and trends, as well as operational processes.
Our training programmes range from refresher courses through to technical courses on specific regulatory matters.
Training can be delivered on-site by one of our consultants or digitally.
Compliance Officer Training
Compliance Officers are subject to regulatory responsibility and liabilities, and therefore require an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the regulatory and operational compliance obligations that a business is required to satisfy on an ongoing basis.
We offer those Compliance Officers customised training programmes tailored the specific regulatory regimes affecting their institution.
Training is delivered on-site by a Director or Senior Consultant.
Senior Managers & Directors
Certain businesses are faced with so much complexities on compliance matters and subject to great amount of cash outflow on compliance. Senior Managers and Directors are required to have a thorough understanding of their business operations in terms of their functions and coordination among functions and the operational and regulatory risks facing their functions.
We offer concise and targeted board and senior management level training sessions on the compliance issues and developments that have a direct impact on the institution that can be overcome by smooth and cost-effective approaches in order to achieve their business goals.

Third party validation of your training and assessment resources and assessment judgements by EMC Audit Solutions will not only save you time, and allow you to access expert validators, it is also desirable and even necessary to achieve full compliance with the Standards for RTOs.
As per ASQA’s Standards for RTOs 2015, your RTO’s validation plan must ensure:
- Every training product on your RTO’s scope of registration undergoes validation at least once every five years.
- You validate at least 50 per cent of the training products in the first three years of that cycle.
How will EMC Audit meet your Assessment Validation needs?
Our Validation Experts have extensive experience validating training and assessment resources, and assessment judgements, to help Australian RTOs maintain compliance and enhance their training through improved training resources and consistent assessment practices.
EMC Audit Solutions offers TWO types of validation service to help you achieve full compliance:
Post-Assessment Validation is a quality review process that ensures your RTO’s assessment system produces consistent, valid assessment judgements. During post-Assessment Validation, validators will review assessments completed by your assessors to ensure they are compliant with rules of evidence which are sufficient, valid, current, reliable and authentic. They will be looking for evidence that demonstrates your RTO’s assessors make reasonable judgements about whether your learners have met the training and assessment requirements.

They will also assess the overall quality and compliance of your training tools against the requirements of the Standards for RTOs 2015.
