Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) in Australia face ongoing challenges in meeting regulatory requirements and ensuring the quality of their training programs. The Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) has identified key risk regulatory priorities for 2024-2025, which RTOs must address to maintain compliance and deliver effective education. eSkilled offers a range of training resources specifically designed to help RTOs tackle these risk areas, ensuring they stay ahead of regulatory expectations.
ASQA’s Risk Priorities for 2024-25: An Overview
ASQA’s risk priorities for the upcoming year focus on critical aspects of RTO operations, including:
- Upholding Quality in Training and Assessment: Ensuring that training and assessment practices meet industry standards and adequately prepare students for employment.
- Complying with Volume of Learning Requirements: Demonstrating that the training provided meets the required learning hours as outlined by the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF).
- Enhancing Student Support: Providing adequate support to students, particularly in areas such as Language, Literacy, and Numeracy (LLN) skills, to help them successfully complete their qualifications.
- Strengthening RTO Governance and Integrity: Enhancing governance practices to ensure the integrity and reliability of RTO operations.

eSkilled provides comprehensive digital training resources that are meticulously crafted to help RTOs meet ASQA’s regulatory requirements. Here’s how our products support RTOs in addressing the 2024-2025 risk priorities:

Upholding Quality in Training and Assessment
Quality is at the core of eSkilled’s offerings. Our training resources, including Learner Guides, Learning Activity Booklets, and PowerPoint presentations, are designed to ensure high-quality training delivery. Key features include:
- Detailed Unit Mapping: Each of our training resources is extensively mapped to unit requirements, ensuring all necessary elements, performance criteria, and knowledge evidence are thoroughly covered. This level of detail is crucial for maintaining compliance and providing a comprehensive learning experience.
- Customisable Content: Our resources are provided in an editable format, allowing RTOs to tailor the materials to their specific training needs. This flexibility ensures that RTOs can align their training with current industry standards, which is essential for delivering high-quality education.
- Simulated Business Sites: For qualifications requiring practical application, our simulated business sites offer a realistic environment for students to practise their skills. These sites mimic real-world scenarios, bridging the gap between theoretical learning and practical application.

Complying with Volume of Learning Requirements
Ensuring that the volume of learning requirements is met is a key aspect of compliance under the Standards for RTOs 2015. eSkilled’s training resources support RTOs in this area by:
- Supporting Adequate Learning Volumes: Our Learner Guides and Activity Booklets are comprehensive and provide the necessary content to fulfil the required learning hours. For instance, our guides often exceed 300 pages, offering in-depth material that supports extensive learning.
- Comprehensive Mapping Tools: Our Learning Resource Mapping Tool clearly outlines where each unit’s requirements are addressed within the training materials, making it easier for RTOs to demonstrate compliance during audits.
-
Enhancing Student Support
eSkilled is committed to supporting student success, and our resources are designed with a focus on inclusivity and engagement:
- LLN Assessment Kits: Our LLN assessment tools help RTOs identify students who may need additional support in their learning journey. By addressing these needs early, RTOs can tailor their training to ensure all students have the best opportunity for success.
- Interactive e-Learning Modules: eSkilled’s e-Learning modules include interactive features such as self-marking quizzes and multimedia content, which are designed to keep students engaged and reinforce their learning. These tools are particularly beneficial for students who may struggle with traditional learning methods.
- Accessible Learning Content: Our e-Learning modules feature audio narration, making them accessible to students with visual impairments or those who prefer auditory learning. This ensures that all students, regardless of their learning style or abilities, can benefit from the training.
-
Strengthening RTO Governance and Integrity
eSkilled’s resources also support RTOs in maintaining strong governance and integrity:
- Audit Rectification Guarantee: Should an RTO face an audit, eSkilled provides an audit rectification guarantee. We supply revised assessment materials and a detailed report on the issues addressed, helping RTOs quickly resolve any compliance concerns identified by ASQA.
- Validation Acceptance Certificates: Each of our training resources undergoes a rigorous quality assurance process, and we provide a Validation Acceptance Certificate for each unit. This certificate serves as evidence that the resources have been validated to meet compliance standards, giving RTOs confidence during audits.
- Unlimited Student Licensing: Our licensing model allows RTOs to train an unlimited number of students for a one-time fee, providing financial stability and making resource management more straightforward.
