Issuing certifications based entirely on training undertaken at another RTO (or RTOs)



5 August 2016

ASQA has become aware that some individuals holding qualifications issued by now-cancelled RTOs are approaching current RTOs seeking to have their qualification reissued (i.e. under the new RTO’s name).

While Standard 3.5 of the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2015 requires RTOs to accept and provide credit to learners for units of competency and/or modules delivered by another RTO, ASQA wishes to make clear that RTOs are under no obligation to issue any certification (either qualifications or statements of attainment) based entirely on the individual having undertaken all of the required training with another RTO.
