Changes to the Standards
RTOs need to be able to demonstrate that it meets the Standards at all times, RTOs are responsible for determining how they meet the Standards and RTOs are responsible for demonstrating their compliance with each standard including related legislation.
This is the same as it is in 2015.
Assessment specific focus
RTOs must have a comprehensive system of assessment based around the principles of assessment (fairness, flexibility, validity and reliability) and the rules of evidence (validity, sufficiency, authenticity and currency). The system must be quality assured through a risk-informed process of validating assessment practices.
Standards 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 relate to the focus area of assessment
