The Practical Guide to the Practice Guides

AICP's brand new Practical Guide to the Practice Guide is your first step towards compliance for July 1.

This high-impact, non-accredited guide has been designed to give every VET practitioner the clarity and confidence to understand and apply the 2025 RTO Standards in real-world operations.

Written by Alex Schroder, Australia’s leading VET Compliance Expert, Forensic Auditor, and Sanction Management Specialist, this guide bridges the gap between complex regulatory language and practical, day-to-day implementation. It’s fully contextualised to RTO life, helping your team go beyond theory and into confident, compliant action.

You’ll unpack the intent, meaning and compliance expectations of each Standard, not just what the rules say, but what they actually mean for your systems, documentation, and delivery.

By the end of this guide, you’ll be able to:

• Understand the full meaning of the 2025 Standards

• Identify how the Standards interlink across compliance areas

• Interpret each clause for everyday application and audit readiness

• Pinpoint the actions and evidence needed to meet each requirement

Structured around the 4 Quality Areas:

1. Training and Assessment

2. VET Student Support

3. VET Workforce

4. Governance

Whether you’re a Compliance Officer, RTO Manager, Consultant or Owner, this is your practical roadmap to strengthening compliance, reducing risk, and leading your team through the 2025 changes with certainty.
