<strong>The</strong> Australian Quality<br />

<strong>Training</strong> Framework (AQTF)<br />

Which AQTF standards are<br />

relevant to LLN<br />

<strong>The</strong> AQTF is a national set <strong>of</strong> standards which<br />

assures nationally consistent, high-quality training<br />

and assessment services for <strong>the</strong> clients <strong>of</strong> Australia’s<br />

VET system. Consequently, Australians will have <strong>the</strong><br />

skills required for <strong>the</strong> workforce and support <strong>the</strong><br />

growth <strong>of</strong> Australian industry and enterprise.<br />

In order for learners to get <strong>the</strong> most out <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> VET<br />

experience a range <strong>of</strong> factors needs to be taken into<br />

account in <strong>the</strong> design <strong>of</strong> training and assessment<br />

and <strong>the</strong> overall learning experience.<br />

In past versions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> AQTF <strong>the</strong>re were specific<br />

standards relating to LLN. <strong>The</strong> 2010 release <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

AQTF sees LLN issues fully integrated into <strong>the</strong> three<br />

main standards and <strong>the</strong>ir elements:<br />

Standard 1<br />

<strong>The</strong> RTO provides quality training<br />

and assessment across all <strong>of</strong> its<br />

operations.<br />

Basically, under <strong>the</strong>ir conditions <strong>of</strong> registration each<br />

RTO commits to maintaining <strong>the</strong> key features <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

standards through:<br />

• monitoring <strong>the</strong> key requirements and outcomes to<br />

be met by <strong>the</strong> RTO<br />

• maintaining a systematic approach – that is,<br />

planned, purposeful and repeatable actions to<br />

improve products and services to clients<br />

• commitment to implementation <strong>of</strong> an effective<br />

quality system including planned and<br />

ongoing processes that encourage continuous<br />

• provision <strong>of</strong> opportunities for everyone to access<br />

and participate in learning and to achieve <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

learning outcomes.<br />

Standard 2<br />

to <strong>the</strong> needs <strong>of</strong> clients, staff and<br />

stakeholders, and <strong>the</strong> environment in<br />

which <strong>the</strong> RTO operates.<br />
