Are you ready for the most significant RTO change in a decade?
The 2025 Standards for RTOs represent the most sweeping regulatory shift since 2015. This is not just an update, it’s a transformation of how RTO compliance works.
From 1 July, your RTO must be able to demonstrate compliance with both the 2015 Standards (for activities completed before 30 June) and the 2025 Standards (for all activity from 1 July onwards).
If you're not prepared, you're risking:
Immediate non-compliance from 1 July
Regulatory sanctions and suspension of registration
Costly, time-consuming rectifications
Missed funding opportunities
Damage to brand and reputation
This course explains 2025’s RTO Standards in plain and simple terms
AICP’s new The RTO Standards Unpacked: 2025 Edition! course is the only Compliance professional development that your RTO Compliance staff will need to ensure your RTO’s ongoing compliance obligations are met.
This non-accredited bespoke course has been specifically developed by Alex Schroder, Australia’s leading VET Forensic Auditor, RTO Rectification Specialist, qualified lawyer, and creator of Cert IV in RTO Compliance* and Diploma of RTO Compliance Management* and is 100% contextualised to RTO Operations and Compliance.
With The RTO Standards Unpacked: 2025 Edition! course, you will:
Deeply understand compliance requirements... not just what they say, but what they really mean in practice
Implement those Standards across your RTO’s systems and day-to-day operations
Spot and fix non-compliance before it becomes a bigger issue
Lead audits, not fear them
As soon as you complete your enrolment, you’ll receive instant access to RTO Standards 2015 Unpacked. Then, on 2 June, you’ll automatically receive access to the brand new RTO Standards Unpacked: 2025 Edition! the moment it’s released.
This will turn confusion into confidence
As an RTO Compliance Practitioner, you cannot be fully effective unless you have a complete and comprehensive understanding of the interpretation and application of the clauses within the 2025 Standards for RTOs.
This course is delivered in three powerful modules:
1. Demystifying the Standards
This module explains every clause of the 2025 Standards in plain language, with practical interpretation and real tribunal examples.
You’ll understand how the clauses connect and what they mean in day-to-day operations. The focus is clarity — so you can make confident, compliant decisions without second-guessing.
2. Ensure Your RTO’s Compliance
Learn how to apply the Standards in real operations, not just paperwork.
This module shows you how to embed compliance into systems, processes, and culture. Strengthen audit readiness, align governance with delivery, and build self-assurance across your team.
3. Rectification Strategies for Success
When issues arise, this module gives you the tools to fix them fast.
Use tested templates and strategies to manage non-compliances, improve internal audits, and reduce the stress of audits. Stay in control and protect your registration with confidence.
This course should be undertaken by anyone who has an interest in RTO Compliance, and specifically:
Administrative personnel
Compliance Officers
Curriculum Developers
Compliance Managers
Senior RTO Management
RTO Owners
Compliance Consultants
You must be ready before 1 July. Avoid non-compliance with the new standards.

Who designed this course?
This course was developed by Alex Schroder, Australia's leading authority in the vocational education and training (VET) compliance sector.
As CEO of VetPrep Australia, she developed the nation's first nationally accredited RTO compliance qualifications: the Certificate IV in Vocational Education and Training Compliance (initially 10609NAT, now 11075NAT) and the Diploma of Vocational Education and Training Compliance Management (initially 10610NAT now 11059NAT). These programs, delivered by the Australian Institute of Compliance Professionals (AICP), address the need for formal training in RTO compliance roles.
Can anyone participate in this course?

How soon can I start?
Enrol now and start immediately. You’ll get instant access to The RTO Standards 2015 Unpacked, plus automatic access to the 2025 Edition when it’s released on 2 June — at no extra cost.
Why do I need the 2015 Standards Unpacked?
If ASQA audits your RTO before 1 June 2026, they will review the previous 12 months of compliance evidence. That means you must demonstrate compliance with the 2015 Standards up to 30 June 2025, and with the 2025 Standards from 1 July onward. Get the 2015 version now — and the 2025 update on 2 June.

There’s no grace period. Be compliant by 1 July or risk it all.

This course shows you how to transition, apply, and lead with confidence, before the audits begin.
