​A partnership arrangement allows your organisation to partner with an RTO in order to be able to assure the quality of delivery, assessment and recognition of training. This option, allowed by the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) 2015, may particularly appeal to organisations whose core business is not training.

There are many different types of partnership arrangements and the role and responsibility of each party needs to be identified in detail, clearly documented and monitored regularly.

If the partnership has any impact on the business of training and assessment, then the arrangement should be documented, in particular detailing how the Standards for RTOs 2015 are addressed or impacted on. ​
