Building Confidence with Self-Assurance Systems

Setting up a Self-Assurance system is one of the best ways to build confidence in your RTO’s compliance and quality assurance. If ASQA comes calling, imagine the ease of pointing them to a dedicated system that showcases your commitment to compliance and continuous improvement. For many, SharePoint is the perfect tool for this.

A SharePoint site can house your Self-Assurance system with features like SharePoint lists, which make accessing evidence of activities a breeze. Using tools like a Continuous Improvement (CI) Register, you can trace the journey from identifying potential issues to deciding on actions, executing them, and resolving the problems. This kind of system not only demonstrates compliance but also actively improves operations along the way.

But it doesn’t have to be SharePoint. Many of our clients use simpler setups, like spreadsheets stored in shared folders on Dropbox or Google Drive. In-house, we rely on tools like OneDrive and Trello to track and manage our activities effectively. Whatever tools you choose, the goal is the same: to create a clear, accessible system that reflects your commitment to quality assurance.

The key to success is simplicity and consistency. Your system doesn’t need to be overly complex to work well. Decide on the quality assurance activities you need to complete, schedule time to carry them out, and follow through. Even the most straightforward system can make a significant impact when it’s maintained regularly.

Of course, time is often the biggest hurdle. Balancing day-to-day operations with compliance activities can feel overwhelming. But with a practical and accessible Self-Assurance system in place, the process becomes manageable. It’s not just about meeting standards—it’s about fostering a culture of continuous improvement that benefits your organisation, your staff, and your students.
