SLSNSW is a registered training organisation (RTO) approved to deliver nationally recognised training. This RTO status allows for some SLS courses to formally recognise our members’ skills and time spent training through the issue of units of competency (UoCs). These UoCs are also externally recognised by employers across the country, such as emergency service organisations. Being an RTO also ensures consistent, high-quality member training and assessment across SLSCs and branches in NSW as the course resources and members who deliver them comply with the national RTO standards for Australia’s professional vocational education and training (VET) sector.
Member training course resources are in the SLS Members Area Document Library, such as the course syllabus/overviews and course guides that inform course advertisements aimed at potential new or existing members. Some member training resources in the SLS Members Area Document Library are restricted to SLSC trainers, assessors and facilitators , such as the course delivery and assessment guides, which contain the answers to theory assessment questions.
There are also SLSNSW training resources applicable to all courses on the SLSNSW Training Resources website and SLSNSW or SLSA YouTube channel that SLSC member education teams should refer to regularly, e.g. course enrolment forms, evaluation forms and reports which SLSC Chief Training Officers (CTOs) should monitor closely as part of continual improvement activities.
