Newbery Consulting VET News – 28th March 2019

Hello and welcome to VET news,

There is some really big news this addition including two particular items which are worth noting. The Skills Minister has announced an extension of implementation date for new trainer and assessor credential requirements to 1 July 2019.

The government also announced in March that the rules relating to eligibility for Austudy have changed. To be eligible for these payments, a person must now be completing their training with an RTO that is approved for VET Student Loan. This potentially does have some impact for those RTO’s offering diploma level courses where there learning are currently receiving these payments.

Just following up an article that I released last year (Sep 2018) relating to the amount of training. We had great feedback on that first part of the series and I am pleased to make available the second part in the series that focuses on explaining your volume of learning within the training and assessment strategy. I think this is a worthwhile article for those developing training and assessment strategies and for those responsible for compliance. You can access the article at the following link (The Amount of Training – Part Two).

Good training,
Joe Newbery
