One year after introducing tough new measures to ensure Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) contracted by the Palaszczuk Government are delivering courses to a high standard, 12 have had their agreements terminated and 43 have faced sanctions.

New approach to student surveys
ASQA and the Department of Education, Skills and Employment (DESE) recognise it is essential for RTOs to maintain feedback systems that enable them to understand and continuously improve their performance and monitor outcomes for students and employers.
