Partner with a training provider
The Australian Quality Training Framework Standards for Registered Training Organisations standard 1.6 allows a registered training organisation to establish a partnership arrangement with another provider of education and training. The second party may, or may not, be a registered training organisation.
In other words, your business may partner with a registered training organisation to provide nationally recognised training to your employees.
The registered training organisation will have a written agreement with your business, specifying how each of you will discharge your responsibilities for compliance with the Australian Quality Training Framework Standards for Registered Training Organisations. Registered training organisations will take an active role in managing any partnership arrangements, to ensure the quality of training and assessment delivered and to protect their registration status.
The Department of Education, Science and Training provides basic information on partnerships at: http://www.training.com.au/portal/site/public/menuitem.215ecd9bda221b80f9fa5a1017a62dbc/
