Assistance to Pass ASQA Audit for Initial Registration
"Dear Ray, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for the assistance you gave us to pass our ASQA audit and become a RTO. You made the process clear and achievable. We found you personally to be informed, approachable and concise, whilst the quality of your resource materials made the process not seem as daunting as it first appeared.
You have obviously applied your extensive knowledge of the VET sector to produce resources that are easy to follow, and meet the standards. Although these resources could be followed without your guidance, I found your personal approach reassuring and informative.
I look forward to using your services again in the future and have no hesitation in recommending you..."

"I have been working in the RTO sector for over 5 years and have been given the opportunity of implementing and applying for initial registration as an RTO in Victoria.
While I have a thorough understanding of RTO’s and their governing compliance through the AQTF as well as guidelines set out by State Training Authorities (in my instance this is the VRQA), I have found the purchase of SkyNet Education products, particularly the VRQA Guidelines CD to be an invaluable support and guide.
The information contained in the CD is up to date, compliant and has ensured that as I write the guidelines that I am demonstrating not only my knowledge and understanding of the AQTF and VRQA guidelines but most importantly how it is that my future RTO is compliant with these guidelines.
The essence of the guidelines in establishing that the primary purpose of an RTO is education, that it is financially viable and that the RTO will provide education with a standard of both quality and care for students and compliance to the VRQA and AQTF is guaranteed when following the CD and the information contained within it.
Further to this, the standard of service given to me by Ray through conversation and enquiries has left me with an absolute certainty that he is equally passionate in assisting RTO’s whose genuine intention it is to provide quality and compliant education to it’s students.
I am more than happy to validate this testimonial verbally and can be contacted at any time on the details set out below..."

Dear Ray
Please accept this letter of appreciation from me and Tony Murray (CEO) with regards to the audit that you have recently completed on our Industry RTO.
We found that the audit process was fair and conducted professionally by you. Our overall impression was that:

1. Your overall knowledge of audit requirements and applicable legislation was exceptional
2. Your focus remained on the task at hand which gave us great value for money
3. Your exit debrief on the day of the audit was very comprehensive
4. Your audit report was delivered on time, as promised by your initial undertaking, prior to our acceptance of SkyNet’s proposal
5. Your audit was well written and extremely accurate
6. Your recommendations were realistic and highlighted the concerns that were expressed during the audit
7. We especially and greatly appreciated you willingness to share with us your thoughts and documentation that you felt would be of benefit to the operation of the RTO. We found that your unsolicited willingness to assist us in every way possible (even when it extended outside of the original brief) was not only refreshing but clearly indicated your level of professionalism
Ray, once again, thank you for your assistance

Kindest regards
Frank Capuano
National Training Co-ordinator

"Dear Ray, Thank you for sending the copy of “The 5 VRQA guidelines – How to meet them” CD so promptly. It has already become an incredibly valuable resource for us. Sometimes the compliance requirements just seem like a maze to negotiate but your instruction “manual” and the evidence templates has made that pathway a little clearer.

As a team we have started a self audit utilising your guide as our checklist and are busily filling in the gaps that have become apparent. Certainly the templates included have saved us a lot of time and effort as we now do not have to start from scratch. While, as an RTO, we were audited and compliant 12 months ago, the many changes to registration requirements have left us with some work to do..."

"The CD of compliance material we purchased from Skynet covering the standards of initial registration as an RTO have been excellent. The proforma policies and procedures are very practical and the explanatory notes gave us the answers/insights into the relevance or applicability of certain procedures - we found these additional instructions very helpful. The business plan is also an excellent template for presenting key information about the training business, and the financial analysis input sheets very useful in ensuing we provided the required financial data. Ray Earl from Skynet was able to answer our additional questions online, which gave us the necessary direction and confidence with our application..."
