Trainer and Assessor Requirements for RTOs in Australia | VET Resources

Accreditation as a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) in Australia is a significant undertaking, with significant requirements for trainers and assessors. Herein, we provide an overview of the current requirements that these professionals need to meet in order to work with RTOs.

Trainers and assessors working within an RTO are responsible for planning, developing, delivering and monitoring training and assessment that comply with the standards set by the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA).

The following requirements must be met to become a trainer or assessor with an RTO in Australia:

Education: Trainers and Assessors must possess relevant qualifications at least at Certificate IV level or higher education/training qualifications, supported by industry evidence in their nominated scope of registration. Under certain circumstances, equivalent industry experience may be accepted instead of formal qualification attainment.

Experience: Trainers and Assessors must gain sufficient knowledge and workplace industry experience to demonstrate competency in vocational areas within their nominated scope. They must also have the capacity to deliver the units of competencies from learning packages according to ASQA’s specifications.

Training Delivery Skills: Trainers and Assessors should possess excellent communication skills when conveying information within vocational education settings for students and staff alike. They also need to present professional behaviours when dealing with students in accordance with applicable codes of conduct.

Knowledge: To effectively deliver content-rich training materials, Trainers or Assessors should have appropriate knowledge related to course topics and where applicable, have credible technical abilities such as programming etc., particularly relating to trade or technological related courses they may deliver. All trainers must update their Delivery & Assessment tools regularly according to ASQA’s compliance guidelines.

Assessment Practice Standards: It is essential that trainers understand how different assessment methods can be used effectively within teaching practice depending on the context - formative assessments versus summative assessments etc., as well as knowing how best apply multiple choice testing methods/strategies etc., where required per course design/specifications. Assessors also need good skills in being able to evaluate student progression against required benchmarks while being able robustly moderate assessment processes.

These are just some of the many tasks undertaken by accredited trainers who strive towards developing excellence within strategic goals through inspirational practices geared towards teaching success strategies for their students’ long-term career objectives.
