Participants will explore practical audit preparation, including reviewing evidence, checking training and assessment practices, identifying potential gaps and ensuring staff understand their responsibilities.

Through practical exercises and RTO-based scenarios, participants will consider how to move beyond simply having policies and procedures in place to being able to demonstrate that processes are consistently followed and supported by appropriate evidence.
