As per the Training Accreditation Council's (the Council) Regulatory Strategy, all RTOs registered with the Council that make application to deliver TAE40122 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment will be required to undergo an audit against the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) 2015.
RTOs are required to meet specific evidence requirements when applying to add the qualification to their scope of registration.
There is no set format to how you should provide the information. Information should be appropriate to the operations of your training organisation.
