Federal court issues significant penalties for false claim to hold RTO registration and issuance of qualifications
The Federal Court has ordered a Queensland training company, Wright Solution QLD Pty Ltd and its director, Mr Jason Richard Wright, to pay significant penalties for continuing to represent itself as a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) and issue qualifications after ASQA did not renew its registration from April 2014 .
The Department of Education and Training currently anticipates that it will release an open market Request For Tender (RFT) in quarter 2 of the 2018/19 financial year for the procurement of assessment services from Australian Registered Training Organisations (RTOs).
Australia’s vocational education and training (VET) system has transformed over the past 20 years in response to changing economic and societal needs. The timeline of VET policy initiatives provides a useful snapshot of state and federal VET policies, programs and initiatives over that period, along with economic events that may have influenced enrolments and completions of VET courses, apprenticeships and traineeships.
The Skills Fund program specifically targets areas of skills demand in priority industries. It supports skill sets and full qualifications where there is demonstrated need. The Skills Fund is available for existing employees (supporting productivity outcomes) and jobseekers (supporting workforce participation and targeting skills shortages).
The Grant is open until 2:00pm Tuesday, 23 October 2018.
