Vocational education

The VET system, explained by people who work in it

Registration, scope, delivery and compliance across the vocational education and training sector.

IPractice areas

Where we work.

i

Registration and scope

Becoming an RTO, and adding to scope without triggering avoidable scrutiny.

ii

Delivery

Amount of training, modes and the practical realities of meeting them.

iii

Compliance

Staying registered, which is a continuous obligation rather than an audit event.

IIWhat goes wrong

The failures worth knowing about in advance.

We list these publicly because most of the value of an adviser is knowing which mistakes are common, and that knowledge is not worth hiding.

Scope wider than capability

Adding qualifications you cannot resource creates exposure across every one of them.

Treating audit as the deadline

Compliance built for an audit date decays immediately afterwards, and the next audit is unannounced in substance if not in form.

IIIHow we work

We tell you what we find.

Including when the answer is that you do not need the engagement you asked for. An adviser who never says that is not giving you information, they are giving you an invoice.

Scope of advice

We advise on regulation and practice. Where a matter needs a legal opinion or a financial audit, we will say so and stop rather than improvise.

Start a conversation.

Describe the situation. If it is outside what we do, we will tell you that and point you at who does.
