You are on RTO Training Consultants
Services on this site

The services that do not live on a sibling site.

Registration, performance assessment work and validation are owned outright by their own sites in the RTO Training Group. What lives here are the fixed-scope services in between — every one with a published fee and a listed set of exclusions.

Addition · removal · amendment

Scope change

$1,900 first qual · +$650 each additional · removal/amendment $850

Adding a training product to scope is an application ASQA assesses against the Outcome Standards — and the fastest way to fail it is a training and assessment strategy that does not reflect your actual student cohort. Ours are contextualised after a documented cohort discussion, and every assessment tool gets a pre-use review under Outcome Standard 1.3 before anything is lodged. Removals and amendments are priced separately because they are smaller jobs, not because we want a conversation first.

What you get

  • Application mapped clause-by-clause to the Outcome Standards
  • Cohort-discussed training and assessment strategy per product
  • Pre-use review of assessment tools (Outcome Standard 1.3)
  • Lodgement checklist and submission support

What you do not get

  • ASQA’s own fees — payable to ASQA, and they change:
  • A guaranteed decision — ASQA decides
  • Learning resources or delivery materials

Turnaround: 10 working days for the first product, +3 per additional

Non-compliance notice received

Rectification response

$3,800

A non-compliance notice is answered with evidence, not adjectives. We analyse the notice clause by clause, build an evidence matrix against the Outcome Standards provisions cited, and draft a rectification plan for your sign-off — then review your submission once, in full, before it goes in. The base fee covers up to three training products; each product beyond that adds $450.

Performance assessment already scheduled? That is urgent audit-response territory with same-week service levels, and it is handled by the Audits site in our group — not queued here.

Go to the Audits urgent desk

What you get

  • Clause-by-clause analysis of the non-compliance notice
  • Evidence matrix against the Outcome Standards clauses cited
  • Rectification plan drafted for your sign-off
  • One full review round of your submission

What you do not get

  • Representation to ASQA as if we were you
  • Manufactured or templated evidence
  • A guaranteed acceptance — ASQA decides

Systems you operate

Self-assurance system build

$6,900

The 2025 Standards expect providers to run genuine self-assurance — systematic monitoring, honest internal reviews against the Outcome Standards, findings that go somewhere. We build the machinery: a current-state review across the four Quality Areas, the policy and register set, a monitoring calendar and management reporting templates, then a staff briefing and a 30-day question window. Then we leave, because a self-assurance system a consultant operates for you is not self-assurance.

What you get

  • Current-state review across the four Quality Areas
  • Self-assurance framework: policies, registers, monitoring calendar
  • Management reporting templates and a staff briefing session
  • 30-day post-handover question window

What you do not get

  • Operating the system — that is yours by law
  • Ongoing monitoring (see ongoing support blocks below)
  • Performance assessment response work

Turnaround: 20 working days

Delivery through another party

Third-party arrangements

$2,400

Third-party delivery is where good RTOs acquire other people’s non-compliance. The package reviews the agreement against your obligations, builds the monitoring framework you will actually run, checks the ASQA notification requirements, and gives the third party an induction pack so the standards travel with the delivery.

What you get

  • Agreement review with an obligations matrix
  • Monitoring framework for third-party delivery
  • ASQA notification requirements checklist
  • Induction pack for the third party

What you do not get

  • Legal advice on the contract itself
  • Delivery or supervision of the training
  • A guarantee the arrangement will satisfy a performance assessment

Turnaround: 8 working days

Buying or selling an RTO

Change of ownership

$4,400

Ownership changes trigger notification and approval requirements with ASQA, and they surface every compliance debt the outgoing owner left behind. The package runs a compliance due-diligence review of the incoming structure, prepares the notifications and approval application, and delivers a transition compliance plan with the governance documents updated to match reality.

What you get

  • Compliance due-diligence review of the incoming structure
  • Change-of-ownership notifications and approval application prepared
  • Transition compliance plan
  • Governance document updates

What you do not get

  • Legal, tax or valuation advice
  • ASQA’s fees or decision
  • Post-settlement operation of the RTO

Turnaround: 15 working days

Defined deliverables, not a retainer

Ongoing support blocks

$1,100/mo (4 hrs) · $1,990/mo (8 hrs)

This is not a retainer, and the difference is the deliverables list. A retainer sells you access; a block sells you outputs, named in advance. The 4-hour block ($1,100/month) carries a monthly compliance health check documented against the four Quality Areas, maintenance of up to two registers, one policy or procedure review, and two-working-day email answers. The 8-hour block ($1,990/month) adds up to four document reviews, support preparing internal reviews against the Outcome Standards, a monthly working session and one-working-day answers. Unused hours do not roll over, because deliverables — not hours — are the unit. Cancel any month on 30 days’ notice.

What you get

  • A published deliverables list per block — see the two block cards on the pricing page
  • The same named consultants each month
  • A documented trail: every deliverable lands as a dated artefact

What you do not get

  • Unused hours rolling over
  • Open-ended advisory or meeting attendance
  • Representation to ASQA on your behalf
  • Lock-in of any kind

Turnaround: Monthly cycle, cancel on 30 days’ notice

Looking for registration, audit response or validation? Those are owned by their own sites: RTO Training Registration, RTO Training Audits and RTO Training Validation. Tribunal matters and multi-entity restructures go to CAQA — they cannot be honestly fixed-priced.

Family disclosure. RTO Training Consultants is a brand of RTO Training Resources Pty Ltd (ABN 17 631 073 213), part of the CAQA Groups family. Our consultants are the same team that delivers CAQA’s advisory work. The difference is the service model: our scopes and prices are fixed and published. CAQA’s engagements are bespoke and quoted.
