ASQA welcomes the conviction of four people involved in creating false student records and other documents.

A Queensland man who misled three individuals into providing payment for false qualifications has been ordered to pay a pecuniary penalty of $31,400.

ASQA today confirmed that it is implementing revised fees and charges from 6 July 2018. This follows Ministerial approval of the final fees and charges proposed by ASQA during a public consultation process in late 2017.

The results of ASQA's latest site audit surveys have confirmed that RTOs continue to be satisfied with the regulator’s audit processes.

ASQA will cancel security qualifications issued to 226 individuals by former RTO Sage Academy Training Pty Ltd (RTO number 41505, Sage Academy).

The Australian Federal Police (AFP) is warning the public about a complex new international scam targeting the Chinese community in Australia.

ASQA will further enhance its scrutiny of entities seeking to provide nationally-recognised vocational education and training (VET) and English language courses to students in Australia and overseas.

Andrew Scott Reid fabricated four bogus vocational education and training (VET) qualifications for himself and used them in an attempt to gain employment.

ASQA has announced that it will revoke its 1 December 2017 regulatory decision to suspend ten qualifications from the registration of TAFE SA (RTO ID 41026).

ASQA will host 27 face-to-face and web-based briefings during May and June as part of its continued efforts to support the quality of vocational education and training through informing and educating the sector.
