<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 />
improvement<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 />
