Audits of RTOs against regulatory requirements.
In some cases RTOs are authorised to deliver training and assessment services by regulators, e.g. RailCorp for Rail Industry Safety Induction (RISI) Card, ARTC for certification purposes.  PD Solutions is able to conduct audits of authorised RTOs against Terms and Conditions of Approval and any administrative guideline requirements.

Testimonial

"Stephen Auburn from Performance Development Solutions (PDS) has been a great resource for our company. His advice on the VET industry and the requirements for managing and maintaining our RTO have been invaluable.
With the changing nature of the VET sector and the necessary requirements for maintaining our RTO to ASQA requirements, Stephen Auburn and PD Solutions have provided excellent advice and solutions for how we manage our RTO.
Would happily recommend PD Solutions to other RTO’s and consultancy groups."
