Registration
As a result of the establishment of the Australian Quality Training Framework, only Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) may award VET qualifications. RTOs are responsible for delivery, assessment and certification of qualifications. An RTO may be a TAFE Institute, adult and community education providers, Group Training Company, private provider or school.
In order to comply with these arrangements, a school with students enrolled in VCE VET programs has two options: to form a partnership with an RTO, or to register through the Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority (VRQA) as an RTO in its own right.
If a school elects to become an RTO, VRQA registration requirements must be met.
The application forms and guidelines for RTO registration are available from the VRQA:
