aqtf 2010 – implementation of new essential standards (march 2010)
National Monday Update Issue:
If you are an existing NSW RTO, you need to implement the AQTF 2010 Essential Standards for Continuing Registration!
NQC Announce Changes to AQTF Standards:
On 3 December 2009 the National Quality Council (NQC) endorsed key changes to the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF) Essential Standards for Registration. The Council of Australian Governments (COAG) met on 7 December and endorsed these amendments.
The intent of these important changes is to strengthen the AQTF and ensure regulators have the tools they need to protect the interests of all students undertaking VET in Australia.
Implementation of the new Standards, including the strengthening the AQTF national guidelines for risk management and managing non-compliance, will be completed by March 2010.
