Upgrade your Diploma of RTO Compliance Management to Diploma Compliance Plus

What is the Compliance Plus Program?

AICP’s Compliance Plus program incorporates Module 1 of our new non-accredited The RTO Standards Unpacked! course in the Diploma of Quality Auditing. This course has been designed by Alex Schroder, Australia’s leading Sanction Management Specialist, Forensic Compliance Auditor and Administrative Appeals Tribunal Specialist.

Why should I upgrade to the Compliance Plus Program?

Compliance Practitioners need to have a complete and comprehensive understanding of the interpretation and application of the clauses within the RTO Standards and the NVR Act.

Given that many of the clauses within the RTOs Standard interact with one another, without a comprehensive understanding of each clause and the relationship between the various clauses, your effectiveness as a Compliance Practitioner is limited.

In Module 1 of the RTO Standards Unpacked! we unpack the Standards to a practical level where the meanings and interpretations of each Standard/Clause are explained for everyday use.

At the end of this component, you will have the skills and knowledge to:

  • understand the full meaning of the clauses in the RTO Standards

  • understand how the various clauses in the RTO Standards are interlinked

  • determine how each clause within the RTO Standards is interpreted for ongoing compliance

  • identify the compliance requirements of each clause in the RTO Standards

  • implement the RTO Standards in your RTO’s day-to-day operations

How much extra does it cost to upgrade to the Compliance Plus Program?

All AICP learners can upgrade to the Compliance Plus Program for an additional $550 (this is a saving of $345 off the cost of Module 1 of The RTO Standards Unpacked! course).
