It consists of FAQs where most answers to the FAQs have been answered using examples of good practice, or suggest evidence that could be provided during AQTF validation/monitoring visits. It also provides examples of ways RTOs can meet AQTF standards.

Following a series of pilot workshops in TAFEWA Colleges, a package has been developed for registered training organisations (RTOs) on working effectively with learners living with mental illness.
It is called Staying the Course because it provides information to help RTOs support learners achieve their goals, in particular complete their chosen course of study. The resource has been developed through funding from the Australian National Training Authority (ANTA) Equity Development and Training Innovation Program and the WA Department of Education and Training.
The resources have been developed through extensive community consultation with TAFEWA colleges, mental health support organisations, peak community organisations and the Department of Education and Training.
The Staying the Course package has three components:
Handbook - for RTO staff on working with learners living with mental illness
Presentation slides - for use in providing professional development for RTO staff
Facilitators’ Kit – on how you can use the handbook and presentation slides to run professional development seminars for staff in your RTO.
