FAQ’s

An RTO is a training organisation that is approved and accredited by a State or National regulator for Australia’s Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector. The national regulator regulates courses and training providers to ensure nationally approved quality standards are consistently met through the implementation of a risk based approach towards the application of the current VET Standards.

We offer scheduled public and in-house training for your convenience. Public courses are delivered at our modern, easily accessible West Swan and Jandakot training centres in Perth, Western Australia.

We are registered for delivery of training in all states, major cities and remote locations throughout Australia. Our in-house courses can be also delivered at your premises.

If you have older certificates/qualifications/units we can help you upgrade to newer qualifications/units via Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).

Australian Training Management is an approved bulk-biller of the Western Australia Construction Training Fund (CTF) and so is able to offer funding to eligible participants on construction courses undertaken in Western Australia. The level of funding accessed is dependent on several factors; however we aim to maximise the amount of funding available to you, which reduces the direct cost to you significantly. Check your funding eligibility, by visiting the Construction Training Fund website.

Further funding and incentives are available to employers of employees undertaking a traineeship through Australian Training Management. In addition, the wages paid to the trainee of a qualifying WA employer are Payroll Tax exempt for the duration of the Traineeship.

The Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) is the national regulator for Australia’s Vocational Education and Training sector. As the national regulator for the Vocational Education and Training sector, the Australian Skills Quality Authority seeks to make sure that the sector's quality is maintained through the effective regulation of:

• Vocational education and training providers
• Accredited vocational education and training courses
• Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS) providers, including those delivering English Language Intensive Courses to Overseas Students (ELICOS).

Australia is fortunate to have a world-leading vocational education and training system. This crucial sector provides training in the skills Australians need for employment, and injects billions of dollars of export income into the economy each year.

ASQA ensures that the quality and reputation of Australia's VET system is maintained through effective national regulation.

From 1 January 2015 all students studying nationally recognised training in Australia are required to have a Unique Student Identifier (USI). A USI provides students online access to their training records and results (transcripts) through their free online USI account.

A USI is required for new and continuing students undertaking nationally recognised Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses to receive their statements of attainment or qualifications. A USI can be obtained at no cost to students and your USI stays with you for life.

To apply for a USI, you can go to the Australian Government’s Department of Industry website http://www.usi.gov.au/Pages/default.aspx# and apply online. Alternatively, with your permission, ATM can obtain your USI on your behalf.

Yes; depending upon which course you are doing you may even get multiple certificates or Statements of Attainment (SOA). Your certificates or SOAs will outline the nationally recognised units of competency or qualifications you have achieved.

Your certificates may also allow you to apply to industry regulators for the issue of operating licences, such as:

• Department of Transport – Heavy Rigid (HR), Heavy Combination (HC) or Multi-Combination (MC) Motor Vehicle Drivers Licence
• Department of Commerce – WorkSafe High Risk Work Licence (HRWL)

Certificates and Statements of Attainment are issued promptly upon completion of the course and are posted via Australia Post. Postage times vary depending on your location.

For individuals working on remote sites and who undertake training to attain workplace operating licences, an immediate interim certificate or Statement of Attainment can be issued to the individual or to their employer by our Trainer/Assessor. This occurs immediately after the Trainer has deemed the student competent using Australian Training Management’s mobile assessment tool, enabling you as an individual to work immediately within your workplace as a qualified and competent operator.

No, Statements of Attainment do not expire. The Australian Industry and Skills Committee (AISC) and the Skills Service Organisations (SSOs) may release a revised version of units of competence and, when this occurs, the previous unit would be marked as superseded. To find out more how this may affect you, call us on (08) 9274 1277, or contact the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA).

If you have older units of competence and would like them updated to the newest unit of competence, we can direct you through the skills recognition process and perhaps even access funding and incentives to help meet the costs of upgrading your units of competence.

Worksafe High Risk Work Licences expire after 5 years if they are not renewed by individuals with the relevant Government Department. High Risk Work Licences can be renewed online by individuals in the same manner as renewing your Driving Licence. Main Roads WA Traffic Management accreditations expire after 3 years.

Once a course has been scheduled and posted on our website it will almost certainly go ahead. We realise that people and businesses are extremely busy and require reliability and certainty when booking a course. We make every endeavour to avoid cancelling or delaying a course, and only under exceptional circumstances would that happen. We would aim to reschedule a cancelled course at the earliest opportunity.

We have run courses with just one student in the past; such is our commitment to our clients’ training needs.

All cancellations must be in writing and sent to bookings@australiantraining.com.au at least five (5) business days prior to course commencement.

In extenuating circumstances where evidence is supplied in writing, a refund may be considered at the discretion of the General Manager. This must be submitted within four (4) weeks of the course end date.

Simply call us on (08) 9274 1277 or email info@australiantraining.com.au and we would be delighted to assist you with your enquiry.

The amount due will be shown in full on the course registration form, quote, and in discussions with the student/client in the lead-up to the course. This includes any travel, license, GST, and associated fees which apply to the training. Upon enrollment, we will request confirmation on how payment will be made before the commencement of the training and issue an invoice.

In accordance with the Standards for Registered Training Organisation’s (RTO’s) 2015 made under subsection 185(1) and subsection 186(1) of the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator Act 2011, ATM requires the student makes payment of lesser of the following by the invoice due date:

• $1500.00 AUD per course listed in the individual’s tax invoice; or
• The total balance due (to the extent that the fees for the course are less that $1500.00 AUD in total)

Payments for course fees less than $1500.00 AUD are to be made via credit card or direct debit and need to occur at least five (5) business days prior to course commencement, of your seat will not be guaranteed

Payments for course fees exceeding $1500.00 AUD, an initial deposit of up to $1500.00 AUD is to be made via credit card or direct debit. To the extent that there remains a balance due after the student has made the required deposit, the reminder will be due upon finalization of the course. Students will be reminded of outstanding balance on the first day of their training.

For example, if the course fees were $4000.00 AUD, and initial deposit of $1500.00 AUD is made prior to the course commencement. At the beginning of the course, the $2500.00 AUD balance becomes due.

Should a balance remain owing after the finalization of the course, or where companies fail to meet agreed payment terms, ATM reserves the right to withhold the issuance of AQF certification.

Students will be required to pay a deposit of 20% to secure their position on a course. If this deposit has not been paid on courses that are full, ATM will contact the student to pay the deposit. If they cannot, they will lose their position on the course.

Booking without payment of the 20% deposit amount does not secure your position on the course. Contact will be made 5 days prior to course commencement and if payment is not received, your place can be taken by a student who pays the deposit or full course cost.

To avoid disappointment and to secure your place on a course we advise that full payment, or the provision of a Purchase Order for established clients, is made at the time of enrolment.

Yes we do. Talk to us to discuss the discounts available on (08) 9274 1277 or email us on info@australiantraining.com.au.

Yes, Australian Training Management can offer flexible payment plans, however all fees must be paid before certification is issued. Talk to us today on (08) 9274 1277 to discuss a personal payment plan, or email us at finance@australiantraining.com.au.

As all of our training forms a direct or indirect pathway to a nationally recognised qualification, there are GST exemptions available on our courses. We pass 100% of these savings directly to you as a valued client.

Refunds will be processed back the same way the payment was received if under the amount of $500.00 AUD.

If the refund exceeds the amount of $500.00 AUD, it will be completed by direct debit into nominated bank account. Refunds will be completed within 14 business days.
