Presentation Notes

Spotlight on Standards

Standard Three



The RTO issues, maintains and accepts AQF certification documentation in accordance with these Standards and provides access to learner records.

Context

To maintain the integrity and national recognition of training products, AQF certification must be consistent in presentation and RTOs must accept the certification issued by other RTOs. This is the purpose of nationally agreed requirements about the nature of certification content and presentation and maintenance. Learner needs should be met through timely issuance of AQF certification documentation and access to their records.
RTOs are not obliged to issue any certification that would be entirely comprised of units or modules completed at another RTO or RTOs.

Future Leaders: The Gen Y Workforce

Generally born between 1980 and 2000, those belonging to this often contentious group are facing a workforce that is vastly different to their predecessors. Not only is it different because of the industries, technologies and fields that are advancing and retreating, it is different for its perception of what leadership is and how to best foster it within an upcoming workforce that is more mobile and looking for the same mobility in their work.
