Edition 79, June 2010

Updated AQTF Essential Conditions and Standards for Registration now available

Updated AQTF Essential ConditionsThe updated Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF) Essential Conditions and Standards for Registration are now available.

The Ministerial Council for Tertiary Education and Employment (MCTEE) endorsed a revised set of AQTF Essential Conditions and Standards for Registration on 9 June 2010. The implementation date of the revised arrangements is 1 July 2010.

There are two sets of essential conditions and standards:

AQTF Essential Conditions and Standards for Initial Registration
AQTF Essential Conditions and Standards for Continuing Registration

Transition arrangements have been provided for some components of Conditions of Registration 5 and 6 where required by an individual applicant or registered training organisation (RTO).

Users' guides to the AQTF conditions and standards and other supporting national guidelines, including strengthened guidelines for risk management and managing non-compliance, will be submitted for endorsement and published in the next couple of weeks on www.training.com.au

RTOs should have received, or will shortly receive, information and updates from their relevant registering body regarding the new arrangements. 

RTOs seeking further information around the updated AQTF should contact their relevant registering body.

Licensing Line News will update its AQTF information page over the coming weeks as state and territory registering bodies provide information on their websites or in other communications.
