The Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) is the national regulator for vocational education and training in Australia. Its primary role is to ensure that training organizations meet quality standards and provide effective education to students. ASQA oversees registered training organizations (RTOs) and ensures they comply with the Standards for RTOs. ASQA also conducts audits and assessments to monitor compliance and improve the quality of training. By maintaining these standards, ASQA helps protect the interests of students and employers, ensuring that qualifications are recognized and valued in the workforce.
