Your Assurance in First Aid Training: Trusting the Right RTO and the 2025 Standards

For individuals and businesses in the Port Macquarie region, choosing a nationally recognised First Aid provider is a decision that impacts safety, compliance, and even liability.

At SALT Training Academy, we eliminate the guesswork. We are proud to deliver all our training, including CPR and First Aid courses, on behalf of our trusted Registered Training Organisation (RTO) partner, Allens Training Pty Ltd (RTO 90909).

This strategic partnership, combined with our membership in the Industry Association Group (IAG), ensures every course we deliver is current, compliant, and backed by a robust national framework—especially critical under the new 2025 ASQA Standards for RTOs.

1. Compliance Power: Partnering with Allens Training (RTO 90909)

The foundation of our training quality rests on our partnership with Allens Training, one of Australia's largest and most trusted RTOs. This partnership structure is a significant advantage for our students and local employers.

As our partner, Allens Training handles the complex regulatory burden of RTO compliance, reporting, and certification. This ensures your qualification is issued by an organisation with a proven, multi-decade history of maintaining high standards and meeting all requirements of the 2025 ASQA Compliance Standards.

Your Statement of Attainment is issued under the scope of RTO 90909, guaranteeing your certification is instantly nationally recognised and trusted by employers across all Australian industries.

Furthermore, we leverage Allens Training's high-quality, industry-approved assessment tools and systems, including their purpose-built management platforms, to ensure efficient enrolment, processing, and prompt delivery of your certificate.

2. Elevating Delivery: Meeting the New 2025 ASQA Outcome Standards

The new 2025 ASQA Standards shift the sector's focus to quality outcomes and real-world competency. Our delivery model in Port Macquarie is specifically designed to meet and exceed this challenge.

To ensure this, we have comprehensively reviewed and updated our Training & Assessment Strategies. The goal is simple: to ensure our course delivery directly aligns with current industry needs, meaning your certification is fully trusted by employers and reflects the most up-to-date practices.

An essential element of the new Standards focuses on enhancing trainer qualifications and requiring continuous industry involvement. At SALT Training Academy, we comply with these enhanced standards, offering both educational proficiency and up-to-date practical experience. Our protocols require interaction with local employers and emergency services, ensuring you acquire the most pertinent, life-saving skills applicable in real-world emergency scenarios.

Finally, we proactively monitor course quality. This ensures you receive a seamless, engaging, and consistent learning experience that leads to greater confidence and competence—not just a piece of paper.

3. Driving Professional Currency with the Industry Association Group (IAG)

Our active membership in the Industry Association Group (IAG) further reinforces our commitment to professional excellence and ensures our local trainers remain at the cutting edge of VET delivery.
