QCI consideration
This Clause requires that training and assessment processes and outcomes be systematically evaluated.
- Does your RTO systematically evaluate training and assessment outcomes?
- If so, how are the results documented?
- If so, how are the results used to improve practices?
Scenario 1
XYZ RTO has a short questionnaire about the effectiveness of their training programs. Every learner is asked to fill it in once they have completed a training program. The data is analysed and put into a spreadsheet that management considers at a scheduled meeting.
Question
Is this systematic evaluation of training outcomes?
Yes. It is a systematic approach to part of the evaluation process. The full process would also include an analysis of other aspects such as non-completion rate, timeframes for completion.
Scenario 2
XYZ RTO management hold a special quality check meeting three times a year to consider the organisation’s operations in light of evaluation outcomes gathered from the previous four months. They may authorise changes to improve workflow and practice.
Question
Is this a systematic approach to improvement?
Yes. Meetings are scheduled, and minuted, and changes result from evaluation.
