QCI considerations

An RTO’s Training and Assessment Strategies (TAS) should all have the same format, in the interests of quality and consistency.

Does your RTO have a TAS template? If so, it should address, at minimum, the following areas:

• training product
• core and elective components
• target group
• mode of delivery
• entry requirements
• duration and scheduling
• assessment resources, methods, and timing
• learning resources
• human resources
• physical resources

Other considerations

To ensure clarity, it is useful to have a separate TAS for each context if you are delivering:

• same qualification but different modes of delivery
• same qualification but delivered to different types of learner groups
• same qualification but delivered over different timeframes
• stand-alone single units or skill sets
• via assessment-only pathway
