RTO & CRICOS Compliance Services

Ensure your website reflects your compliance obligations before ASQA views it. 

​

Your website is often the first source of information prospective students, employers and regulators review. Inaccurate, misleading or inconsistent information may create compliance risks under the Standards for RTOs, CRICOS requirements and Australian Consumer Law.

​

Assess Consulting provides an independent audit review of your website and student-facing information to identify potential compliance gaps and areas requiring attention.
I find this audit can also highlight other priority areas needing attention - a great one to start on.  

​

 

Includes:

• Two hours of website review

• Identification of inconsistencies and potential compliance risks

• Written findings and priority recommendations

• 30-minute consultation to discuss the findings
