Registered training organisations

Registered training organisations (RTOs) deliver nationally recognised training in the VET sector. To deliver this training, they need to be approved by ASQA.

RTOs are the only organisations in the Australian VET system authorised to:

  • deliver and assess nationally recognised training
  • issue nationally recognised qualifications and statements of attainment
  • apply for government funding to provide VET services.

More than 4 million students study VET each year. VET is the main way Australians upskill or reskill.

There are about 4000 RTOs in Australia, most of them are regulated by ASQA. 

The national register includes a list of all RTOs.
