The Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) is the national regulator for Australia’s vocational education and training (VET) sector.

The policy version of the revised Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) (the Standards) has been released to help the sector prepare for when they come into full regulatory effect from 1 July 2025.

Parts 1 and 2 cover preliminary information, introduction and purpose of the Standards. This guide focuses on Part 3, consisting of Standards 9 and 10, which concern the development and/or redevelopment of accredited courses.
