Blog News and comments from the Truss RTO Team and our Clients

On Monday the 19th February, we will be rolling out a minor change to the Update Contact Details tab on Student Records (which is visible there, and numerous other places) and Email Templates.

This update will not affect your students or trainers.

We are breaking the long AVETMISS form on the page into smaller chunks, allowing changes to specific, grouped data. This allows you to update data "individually" rather than losing any data you've entered if the information doesn't validate on the larger overall form.

We are also adding the functionality to add General Purpose Document Templates to Email Templates.

With the new year upon us, new policies are coming into effect that will impact how you must collect AVETMISS and USI in the new year.

These are changes that you should have already discussed with your Compliance Manager or audit consultant, so this update will focus on how Truss RTO implements these changes.

Note that these changes affect data collected in 2018, not the data you will report in February for your 2017 activity.

The AVETMISS changes aren't huge, but they will impact how your RTO functions. The USI rules - we feel - have now reached something that looks like their final form.

USI is now mandatory for all onshor...

Wow, what a year! It's entirely beyond me how it's run by so quickly; it feels like only a few short weeks ago that we were wrapping up 2016.

With the holiday season upon us, our team will be taking a well-earned break. Our network will be monitored for any urgent issues over the period, but any support requests will be responded to after the break in 2018.

We will be closing at midday on the 21st of December 2017, returning rested and refreshed on the 3rd of January, 2018.

Student records will show webforms and SCORM package completions under LMS Activity, whereas they show on the Webforms/Online Theory tab on an enrolment record. Webforms/Online Theory had the ability to download the PDF but sometimes students complete webforms (such as LLN) before becoming enrolled.

I'm very pleased to be able to make two announcements today that make Truss RTO even more affordable for Training Organisations of any size!

Unlimited Seats for Truss RTO Smart and Enterprise

One of the many stress factors when you're trying to grow a business is the cascading series of additional work that growth brings; each new step you take seems to trigger another half dozen that you have to take to catch up.

As we speak to RTOs across Australia it's become clear that per-seat licensing creates logistical issues for an RTO - How do you deal with fluctuations in your team size? What if you have casual staff?
