QCI considerations

• How does your RTO ensure that a potential new trainer assessor has the required credentials?
• How do you verify that the transcripts are authentic?
• Where are copies of their credentials kept?
• Is it documented how a trainer assessor will be supervised if they do not have the required credentials?
