ASQA seeking information on the quality of work place assessments

ASQA is seeking to better understand the quality of workplace assessments undertaken by students in identified high risk industries, including Individual Support, Carpentry and Early Childhood Education and Care qualifications.

We will be contacting a sample of registered providers seeking information on how they ensure their compliance with workplace requirements.  

The information collected will support ASQA’s understanding of how providers are implementing  National Vocational Education and Training Regulator (Outcome Standards for NVR Registered Training Organisations) Standards 1.1, 1.8 and 2.1.  In addition, the information will also help us better understand where we can provide additional guidance to providers, students, industry and the general public.  

Some providers will receive a follow up phone call to discuss their self-assessment, where there will be an opportunity to provide further information if required.  

While the information you provide will not be used as evidence for any regulatory decisions, if responses indicate that a more detailed understanding may be required then ASQA may perform further assessments with you.
