WHAT IS A REGISTERED TRAINING ORGANISATION? A Registered Training Organisation (RTO) is an organisation/individual registered with a State or Territory registering authority in accordance with the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF). The AQTF is a quality system specifically designed for training and assessment organisations. It assures individuals that their RTO is a quality organisation operating to nationally endorsed standards. The registration standards are based on normal business procedures that provide RTOs with benchmarks for best practice. RTO's deliver training and/or conduct assessments and issue nationally recognised qualifications. Any qualification an RTO issues may include the "Nationally Recognised Training" logo. Registration allows an RTO to operate in other States and Territories and ensures that other training organisations recognise that RTO's qualifications for the purpose of credit transfer and entry requirements for people who have completed training and assessment that the RTO offers. This will ensure the portability of students' qualifications and therefore the desirability of an RTO's training products and services. Registration provides the entry of an RTO's details and the qualifications that they are registered for on a national register known as the National Training Information Service (NTIS).
