Making delivery better: perspectives from RTOs
Thursday 7 April 2022, 1.30pm - 2.30pm (ACST)
This webinar will review the findings of the recently released NCVER report - Delivering high-quality VET: what matters to RTOs.
RTOs come in many shapes and sizes with a wide variety of missions, courses and students. There are many aspects of quality delivery they all share in common (good is good!) despite some fundamental differences between RTO types (TAFEs, privates, community education and enterprise). What they also all have in common is needing to be able to measure quality effectively – how well they are doing things, both to help them improve and to convince others of how good they are.
In this webinar we will share the findings of our research, which is RTO focused. What we hope participants will gain from it is:
- A set of principles that help define quality delivery
- Insights into what helps, or potentially hinders, delivery quality
- How providers of different types approach the measurement of delivery quality
- What we might need to do to improve delivery quality.
