Description
The new Standards for RTOs 2025 has introduced a significant change to assessment validation. Instead of a fixed requirement determined by a statistically valid sample of assessments, RTOs are now required to adopt a risk-based approach to determine their validation sample size. This means the number of assessments validated will vary considerably across RTOs, reflecting their individual risk assessments.
Standard 1.5 (2) (c) from the Standards for RTOs 2025 states that an RTO must utilise a risk-based approach to determine:
- the components of the assessment system for a training product which are to be validated
- the sample size of assessments that are to be validated in respect of a particular training product.
This webinar explores a risk-based approach, focusing on a methodology that can be used to conduct risk assessments and determine the sample size for assessment validation.
Topics covered
- Introduction to the risk-based approach
- Selecting units to be validated
- Identifying risks
- Determining sample size.
A case study example shall be used to show how the risk-based methodology can be used to conduct a risk assessment and determine the sample size for assessment validation.
Who should attend
- RTO operational managers
- RTO compliance managers
- RTO compliance officers
- Assessment validation team leaders
- Assessment validation team members
- TAFE teachers, RTO trainers and assessors
- RTO course coordinators and administrators.
A Certificate of Attendance shall be provided. This can be used as evidence of Professional Development activity.
