Will we be compliant at an audit if we use the Enriching Futures Training and Assessment system?

Each document has been through a thorough validation process by both early childhood and VET specialists with significant experience including ASQA auditing. The system has been designed to be used as a whole system to support compliance, however RTO’s are responsible for validating the products and to decide how they will implement them in their own training and assessment systems. Please be mindful that choosing to not use a particular document will require consideration as to how any gaps will be covered.
