Dear RTO,


You are invited to participate in a research study, which aims at establishing what the impact of the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF) Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) has had on these organisations.

This study is being undertaken as part of a Masters in Quality Management Program and will lay the foundation for future studies into this subject, but most importantly this study provides you an opportunity to voice your opinion about the impact of the AQTF Standards for RTOs on your organisation. The findings of this study will be disseminated to RTOs (on request) and to State and National Regulating Authorities to provide them an indication of the perceptions that exist about the implementation of the AQTF Standards for RTOs.

Please complete this survey, which will take upto 15 minutes of your time. Your participation in this study is completely voluntary and there are no foreseeable risks associated with this project. However, if you feel uncomfortable answering any questions, you can withdraw from the survey at any point. If you were wondering where did the researcher get your organisationÂ’s email address? Your organisation's email address was obtained from a public national database.

Your survey responses will be strictly confidential and data from this research will be reported only in the aggregate. Your information will be coded and will remain confidential. If you have questions at any time about the survey or the procedures, you may contact Siddharth Samuel on 04080 32856 or by email at the email address specified below.

It would be greatly appreciated if you could please complete and submit the survey by 1 October 2003.
