Compliance isn’t a mystery box; it’s a system you can see, test, and improve. We take you inside the latest ASCA IQ update and unpack what it really asks of RTOs ahead of the 2025 standards: equivalent quality for international delivery, marketing that matches reality, RPL that stands up to scrutiny, and student monitoring that proves learning is happening.
We start with the high‑risk areas the regulator is calling out. International delivery has to mirror domestic standards, with documented third‑party agreements, clear supervision, escalation points, and proof that online platforms enable real engagement, practice, and assessment. We talk through how to verify placements offshore, support language and digital needs from day one, and demonstrate trainer feedback and skill progression when supervision is remote.
From there, we zero in on marketing and recruitment. No more vague promises or blurred fee details. We share how to align course codes, licensing info, refund terms, and all additional costs with the national register, and why a structured pre‑training review beats pressure recruitment every time. Then we dig into RPL: mapping that makes sense, sufficient and current evidence, assessor comments that explain decisions, and validation that keeps outcomes consistent across assessors and partners. If gaps exist, gap train—don’t shortcut.
We round things out with student progression, attendance, and governance. You’ll hear how to link scheduled hours to delivery, supervise practice online, document early interventions, and set clear rules for at‑risk students. On governance, we outline what active oversight looks like: reading compliance reports, tracking finances, testing controls, and updating risk registers. To make it actionable, we finish with a practical checklist: marketing audit, deep RPL review, monitoring system overhaul, third‑party and international mapping, and a refreshed risk register with real controls.
If this helps sharpen your systems, follow the show, share it with your quality team, and leave a quick review so others can find it.
