Subject to eligibility requirements being met, you will be issued with a letter, which provides provisional authorisation to train. This will allow you to proceed with matters pertaining to the registration of Training Contracts. A member of the Training Support Unit will then make arrangements with you to schedule an Authorisation Visit / Review once you have a trainee on board.
Due to the ongoing COVID 19 pandemic, any Authorisation / Training Monitoring meetings, previously conducted by an onsite visit, will be held remotely, via MS Teams. The Institute continues to review the position, in line with relevant public health guidelines.
What to have ready for the authorisation meeting
Prior to any Authorisation Visit / Review you will be asked to complete an online Information Request Form. Within that you will be asked to provide information on the following areas; organisational profile, training structure and experience available to trainees (to include summary of client base), understanding of the Institute's Training Regulations and compliance requirements, performance monitoring and mentoring.
Training Monitoring Visits / Reviews
Regular (scheduled) visits will be conducted by the Training Support Unit. Subsequent to an Authorisation Visit / Review, a Training Monitoring Visit / Review will be scheduled to take place one year from the date of authorisation and subsequent to this, as detailed in the Institute's Training Regulations (section 4.9), regular Training Monitoring Visits / Reviews will take place every four years or earlier if deemed necessary. The purpose of such is to ensure that the RTO and it's trainees are compliant against the Institute's Training Regulations i.e. CA Diary records are up to date.
