RPL & Assessment Compliance - The Hidden Risks for RTOs (VETtalks EP 10)

Are you struggling to get your VET assessment and RPL processes compliant with the latest standards? In VETtalks EP 10, join industry experts Scott Rogers and seasoned VET Advisor Phill Bevan as they dive deep into the critical changes and common pitfalls RTOs face in assessment, especially with the 2025 Standards and ASQA's intensified focus on RPL.

With 76% of RTOs still facing non-compliance in assessment and a growing scandal of cancelled qualifications, understanding robust assessment systems is more crucial than ever. This webinar cuts through the complexity, offering practical insights to safeguard your RTO.

In this session, you'll learn how to:
✅ Unpack the significant changes in the 2025 Standards for RTOs, particularly for Principles of Assessment (Fairness, Flexibility, Validity, Reliability) and Rules of Evidence (Authenticity, Currency, Validity, Sufficiency).
✅ Master RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning): Understanding ASQA's focus, dispelling myths, and implementing a defensible task-based approach to avoid common audit issues.
✅ Optimise your Assessment Tools: Identify common issues like over/under mapping, poor questions, and inadequate marking guides.
✅ Navigate the role of AI in assessment and ensure authenticity of student work.
Understand the crucial role of Validation (pre-use & post-use) and why many RTOs fall short, contributing to the high non-compliance rate.
✅ Implement strategies for effective industry engagement to maintain currency.
✅ Mitigate risks to avoid ASQA non-compliance, costly rectifications, and potential qualification cancellations.
