RTO Registration

Description: A registration service that aims to achieve registration in 6 months at minimum cost.

Purpose: To provide organisations with consulting support to establish an RTO including the establishment of all operating procedures, information management systems and RTO website.

Outline of service: Newbery Consulting register approximately 25 RTOs each year. We are easily the most successful consulting company in Australia at doing this and are proud of the work we do to assist organisation through this difficult process. We have a tried and proven registration process that has evolved with regulation and achieves fantastic results every time. The service includes three phases:

Phase One. Involves the supply of our full RTO system and the provision of detailed planning and consulting support to establish the intended scope and delivery model for your RTO. Consulting support is provided either via video / teleconference or if requested by the client during a face-to-face one day workshop. Phase one concludes with the establishment of a detailed Registration Action List which identifies all actions required to achieve registration. The Registration Action List provides us the plan for the remainder of the project.

Phase Two. Involves preparing all of the evidence for the initial application. This includes gathering details of the proposed entity, principal people, business plan, financial plan, proposed trainers, materials and operating locations. This is a team effort where evidence is gathered and reviewed within an online portal where we all collaborate to get the detail right. We provide fully developed examples of key documents such as all policies, business plans, financial plan, assessment resources and training and assessment strategies in order to get things moving. Your accountant is an important participant during this phase to assist you in meeting the financial viability requirements. This phase concludes with the submission of initial application for registration on ASQANet.

Phase Three. Involves finalising development of learning and assessment materials, customisation of policies and procedures, development of student information and general build-up for the initial registration audit. During this phase the financial viability assessment will occur and we are waiting for the audit which can take 8-12 weeks. We will build and supply your RTO Website. This is a smart website that links with your RTO management system to enable you to publish course information direct to your website and download online enrolments direct from the website. This eliminates the need to enter student data. During this phase we will have regular video/teleconferences and will also undertake a full onsite rehearsal of the initial registration audit to cap off your preparation. After the audit we provide you support to address any additional information the auditor requests and we see it through to the end. This phase concludes when you are listed on Training.gov.au as an RTOs  and can commence delivery of services. Fantastic!

What we do not do in this service.

We do not develop your business / financial plans or develop your learning and assessment materials. We do provide you excellent examples and templates of these things as a guide and will audit your assessments during their development to provide you feedback about their compliance. We also cannot represent you at the audit or correspond with the regulator on your behalf. This is simply not allowed. This is your business and we provide you the technical advice to build and operate it yourself.

Please note: Newbery Consulting is not willing to provide consulting support to organisations that are planning to provide training and assessment services via an online method of delivery only. These projects represent too greater risk and we are not satisfied that the right level of quality in the assessment can be achieved. If you are planning an online only method of delivery, please do not submit an enquiry.

In summary, in this service we provide you with:

  • Full consulting support delivered by Australia’s most experienced and respected VET consultants
  • A registration project that is sequenced and structured to succeed
  • Access to Newbery Consulting’s huge bank of example documents and resources
  • A dedicated Application Manager
  • RTO Data
  • RTO Policies and Procedures
  • RTO Forms and Tools
  • RTO Website

That’s $6,875.00 worth of product built into the cost of this project.
