AQTF Standards for RTO Issues and Responsibilities

The Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF) requires all registered training organisations (RTOs) to demonstrate compliance with the national standards. RTOs and teachers who are offering online assessment need to be aware of the AQTF standards. With online assessment, it has many stages that need to be AQTF compliant. The following are AQTF standards that should be met by registered training organisations: 1. RTOs should have systems in place for quality training and assessment in its various operations such as policies and procedures, organisational chart, risk management, client feedback, and continuous improvement.

2. RTOs should have AQTF compliance with Commonwealth, State/Territory legislation and regulatory requirements. Anti-discrimination, VET training, and legislation are only a few of the operations that are integrated into RTO policies and procedures.

3. Another AQTF standard is that RTOs need to have an existing and effective administrative and records management procedures. These include storage of electronic records, archiving of records, setting staff qualifications, and many more.

4. Recognition of qualifications issued by other RTOs such as credit transfer is another AQTF standard that should be met for compliance.

5. For identifying and achieving desired outcomes, RTOs should apply access and equity principles, information, and learner support services.

6. Another AQTF standard is the competency of the RTO staff. These people are involved in training, assessment and client service. There are three various stages in online assessment and these are planning, development and implementation. Each stage has AQTF standards that need to be applied. There are standards for development of quality management systems, selection and implementation of appropriate technology, development of learning and assessment strategies, guidelines for learner support, the expertise of staff developing online assessment methods, and administration and records procedures. For compliance concerns, BluegemEXPLORE has a proven expertise in delivering effective solutions for RTOs.

How RTOs Can Become AVETMISS Compliant

AVETMISS for Australian Vocational Education and Training Management Information Statistical Standard is a national data standard for VET providers. When registered training organisations (RTOs) use this standard, it becomes possible to export data that contains information about students, the course they study, and the qualifications that they have completed.

Since early 2010, the Australian Quality Training Framework has made it a mandatory requirement that RTOs have an AVETMISS compliant student record management system. AVETMISS covers students and their enrolments. The data collection will include some of the students’ pertinent personal information, where they study, and what they study. All of this information is determined at the time of the student’s enrolment and stored in the student management system.

What should RTOs do to become AVETMISS compliant? Here are some steps to consider and follow:

To be AVETMISS compliant, RTOs must have a student records management system. By using the standard, data can be stored and exported.

RTOs have to test the AVETMISS compliance by exporting the data files from their student record management system and validate them. If data will pass the validation process without errors, then the student record management system is deemed AVETMISS compliant.

Small RTOs which cannot afford to introduce a student management system can be provided with data entry tools to assist them in becoming AVETMISS compliant.

RTOs are encouraged to submit data to the National VET Data Collection. When a confirmation arrives that the data has been successfully submitted, it is deemed to be compliant. This process will eventually lead to more informed decision making processes for the VET sector as a whole.

RTOs must submit data according to current arrangements within each relevant state or territory. However, there are some cut-off dates that should be checked and followed.

How to Meet the AQTF Quality Indicators

The Vocational Education and Training (VET) providers are still confused with the AQTF Quality Indicators. Problems usually crop up on the last minute. There are many things to do with the quality indicators. The first thing they need is to gain an understanding of how quality indicators work for their organisation. The AQTF Quality Indicators are made up of three important components. VET providers should be aware that indicators include competency completion data, questionnaires for learners and questionnaires for the employer. These components are very important for data collection of pupils and have to be submitted to the national level. Vet providers should know when the collected data are due for submission. It is usually every 30th of June of the following year. Reports for this year 2011 are to be submitted next year. Before submission, the surveys such as student information and questionnaires should be followed according to the calendar year. For small registered training organisations (RTOs), they are required to collect data of 50% of the student population. The important thing to remember is to gather only a sample or representative of the learners who are being surveyed. The AQTF Quality Indicators require not only submitting sample survey results but also 100 from Certificate II and 6. They should not survey the same set of students for the second time. This is to make the data reliable and spread out among different types of population. Non-AQTF registered training organisations do not need surveys. Only surveys from nationally recognised or accredited training providers are to be submitted on time and with the correct information. The questionnaires for learners and employers must be gathered separately for submission to AVETMISS. There are existing guidelines for this requirement. AQTF data is to be submitted to the state registering body’s website. BluegemEXPLORE implements AQTF and AVETMISS compliant Training Management Systems for efficient and quick reporting. With the help of BluegemEXPLORE, the RTOs are assured that the Quality Indicators are adhered to successfully.

Effective Administrative and Records Management Procedures in AVETMISS Compliant RTOs

Registered training organisations or RTOs should have effective administrative and records management procedures existing in place. These procedures can be implemented together with AVETMISS compliant Training Management Systems software for the reporting requirements.

The procedures are documented and implemented to assure the integrity, accuracy and timely-relevance of records that include: securing storage; retention, archiving and retrieval of student results; compliance with AVETMISS reporting requirements; safeguarding any confidential information; and, availability of records to clients.

Aside from documentation and implementation of records and compliance with AVETMISS, the RTO must also maintain up-to-date records of: staff qualifications and experience information; enrolment and participation; and, paid fees and refunds given to learners and staff.

Once an RTO becomes AVETMISS compliant, data can be stored and exported. Validation is done afterwards. The data should pass the validation process without errors. Other data entry tools can also help small-time RTOs in becoming AVETMISS compliant.

AVETMISS compliant RTOs submit data to the National Data Collection. A confirmation will arrive that the data has been successfully submitted. This process will eventually lead to more informed decision making processes for the sector as a whole. RTOs must submit data according to current arrangements within each relevant state or territory. However, there are some cut-off dates that should be checked and followed.

RTOs are required to report on their activities using AVETMISS compliant Training Management Systems. This is to comply with the state or territory training authority requirements. Benchmarking activities were made possible through the use of this reporting requirement. Different states and territories have their own range of data collection systems for the management of records. BluegemEXPLORE has provided its clients information on reporting requirements and additional information on systems relevant to each state or territory.

RTOs are required to have efficient records management procedures that are programmed to do AVETMISS data file exports. In this way, reporting becomes fast, effortless, cost-efficient and effective. It will make the entire organisation successful.
