Registration with the VRQA is available for organisations that will deliver training to domestic students in Victoria only.
Applying to become a VRQA-registered RTO is a 2-phase process:
- Phase 1: financial capability audit
- Phase 2: quality audit
We are running an online information session to assist organisations with this process.
The session is for those interested in registering a new RTO with the VRQA. It will provide an overview of financial and quality compliance requirements. Attendance is essential if your organisation intends to apply for registration.
