INTRODUCTION
What is a Victorian Purchasing Guide?
The Victorian Purchasing Guide provides information for use by Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) in
the provision of Victorian government subsidised training.
Specifically the Victorian Purchasing Guide provides the following information related to the delivery of
nationally endorsed Training Packages in Victoria:
 The nominal hour range (minimum-maximum) available for each qualification.
 Nominal hours for each unit of competency within the Training Package.
 Sample Training Programs
Registration
RTOs must be registered by either the Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority (VRQA) or the
Australian Skills Qualification Authority (ASQA) regulatory body to be eligible to issue qualifications and
statements of attainment under the Australian Quality Framework (AQF).
The VRQA is the regulatory authority for Victoria that registers VET training organisations who provide
courses to domestic students only and who only offer training in Victoria.
To register to provide training to international students and in other Australian states and territories you will
need to apply with ASQA.
