Information for NARA registered RTOs
NARA Logo
RTOs registered with NARA have access to the NARA Logo for use on testamurs issued by them.
For South Australian RTOs there are specific Guidelines relating to the use of logos issued by the Training and Skills Commission. Copies of the current Guidelines are available at: http://www.training.sa.gov.au/OVETorgs/ or your NARA Quality Consultant can provide advice on them.
The NARA Logos can be obtained from Catherine Kearney, (responsible for RTO Client Services and Communications) at NARA. Email catherine.kearney@tvetaustralia.com.au
Protocol for Issuing a Qualification
The AQF Implementation Handbook (Fourth Edition 2007) specifies a protocol defining the form of a qualification to be issued. www.aqf.edu.au/implem.htm
Changes to Scope
An extension to scope may include the:
- addition of Training Package qualifications, units of competence and/or accredited courses;
- replacement of an accredited course with a Training Package qualification;
- replacement of a superseded Training Package qualification with a qualification from a new Training Package; or
- replacement of superseded units of competence with units from a new Training Package.
Applications for changes to scope should be submitted on the appropriate form below:
NOTE: In preparing an Application to Amend Scope of Registration, an RTO will need to ensure it can demonstrate compliance with the AQTF 2007(and for South Australian RTOs the Guidelines issued by the Training and Skills Commission) for each proposed change.
Extension of Scope
If an RTO registered with NARA wishes to add to its Scope of Registration during its registration period, it is required to submit a completed Application to Amend Scope of Registration form to NARA and pay the associated fees.
Existing RTOs registered with NARA seeking to add qualifications or units of competence from Training Packages that they already have experience in will not be required to use the services of a Quality Consultant in the preparation of their applications prior to audit.
Reduction of Scope
During an RTO’s registration period, it may decide or be required to remove qualifications, courses or selected units of competence from its Scope of Registration.
RTOs registered with NARA that wish to reduce their Scope of Registration must advise NARA by submitting a completed Application to Amend Scope of Registration form.
Prior to seeking a reduction of scope RTOs are required to ensure that appropriate qualifications have been issued to students, and that appropriate arrangements have been made for the students to complete the qualification to be removed, or to transfer to an appropriate qualification.
Multiple Changes in Scope
RTOs may also apply for multiple changes to Scope of Registration at the same time.
The Application to Amend Scope of Registration form provides for extensions to and reduction of scope.
If you are an RTO registered on CRICOS, you may lodge an integrated AQTF and CRICOS application to amend your scope.
