1. Completion of ATOL Lead Audiutor Management Systems Virtual Training

To qualify for this course, students must have the below Exemplar Global competencies against ISO 19011:2018 (attained within the last 10 years):

  • Exemplar Global (AU) Management Systems Auditing; and
  • Exemplar Global (TL) Lead Audit Teams

IMPORTANT NOTE: Students who do not meet the above prerequisite criteria will be required to complete the full BSBSS00128 Lead Auditor Skill Set course.

2. Completion of LLND-Self Assessment

Before you enrol in any Nationally Recognised Competency units, you’ll need to complete a short Language, Literacy, Numeracy, and Digital (LLND) self-assessment.

This is not an ATOL-specific prerequisite, but a requirement of the 2025 Outcome Standards for RTOs. All Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) must assess students prior to enrolment to ensure you as a student receive the right level of support throughout your training.

2025 Outcome Standards, Standard 2.2 Outcome Standards (1) VET students are advised, prior to enrolment, about the suitability of the training product for them, taking into account the student’s skills and competencies. Performance Indicators (2) An NVR registered training organisation demonstrates:  (a) taking into account the requirements of the training product – it has procedures in place to review, prior to enrolment, the skills and competencies of prospective VET students, including their language, literacy and numeracy proficiency and digital literacy; and (b) based upon the outcome of the review – it provides advice to each prospective VET student about whether the training product is suitable for them.

Why is this important?

  • Helps identify any additional learning support you may need
  • Ensures your chosen course and/or career is the right fit
  • Sets you up for success before you get started

What happens after you complete the assessment?

  • Once you’ve completed the LLND self-assessment, both you and our Customer Service/Training team will be sent a copy of your results.
  • To initiate your enrolment, you must upload a copy of your LLND report to the ATOL student portal. 
  • Students who meet the minimum LLND requirements will be approved for enrolment.
  • Students who have not fully met the requirements will be contacted by our Customer Service team for an interview to explore your readiness and next steps.

⚠️ Please note: ATOL is not able to provide specialised LLND support in some areas. In these cases, we may determine that this training or career pathway is not the right fit for you at the moment. Where possible, alternate courses and/or upskilling recommendations will be provided. This process is in line with our obligations to you as a student, and with our responsibilities as an RTO, ensuring your learning pathway is supportive, realistic, and sets you up for long-term success.
