You obviously feel passionate about your industry subject matter. The steps to developing your RTO extremely important. The business development process becomes an integral part of business, it also becomes an integral part of the communication between the participants.
The quality of Australian Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) is recognised around the world. If you were not sure if it is the right way to go in your business, let me tell you it is. RTO’s are providers of nationally recognised training having met quality assured national standards.
Only RTOs can:
- Deliver, assess and issue nationally recognised qualifications.
- Be eligible to apply for State and Commonwealth Government funding
- Use the nationally recognised training logo on all qualifications and statements of attainments issued
- Be approved to provide courses to overseas students studying in Australia.

Management benefits
When you set up your own RTO, you have the control. Having said that, the CEOs and other executives need to ensure compliance under the Standards, including the provision of accurate marketing and advertising information (Standard 4) and quality assurance (Standard 2).
