Experience

Rainer Wilton has worked in VET quality and compliance for more than 15 years, as a lead auditor at state and national level and as an adviser to more than 85 RTOs.

Our advice is based on the published Standards, your own evidence and sound quality management practice.

  • Practical, clear adviceWhat the requirements mean for your organisation and what needs to be done.
  • Risk-based reportingFindings are prioritised by risk, with the evidence sighted and a strategy to address each one.
  • Quality documentationReports, mapping and other documents prepared to a professional standard.

Our approach

Audits, validation and reviews follow the same four steps.

  1. Scope

    We agree the scope of work, including the standards, qualifications and units, the timeframe and the cost.

  2. Evidence

    We interview staff and review training and assessment materials and student records, on site, off site or both.

  3. Report

    Our reports are risk based. Each finding includes the evidence sighted, our rationale and a strategy to address it.

  4. Follow-up

    We debrief your staff on the outcome. Where requested, a follow-up desk audit reviews the actions taken and we update the report.
