Quality Indicator and Audit Reports
The Data Provision Requirements March 1st 2021 requires all registered training organisations (RTOs) registered with ASQA to provide an annual summary report of their performance against the learner engagement and employer satisfaction quality indicators to ASQA.
Learner engagement indicators focus on the extent to which learners engage in activities that are likely to promote high-quality skill outcomes. It includes learner perceptions of the quality of their competency development and the support they receive from their RTOs.
These indicators are based on a survey of a sample of the organisation’s training delivery in the 2021 Calendar Year.
