Customer Focus: This is essential because quality is defined in terms of the Standards for Registered Training Organisations, which in turn depend on the identification of customer needs and monitoring of customer satisfaction. Customer relationships are built externally and internally.
Maintaining Standards: It is essential that the manager and staff are aware of, and adhere to a Code of Practice to allow a common understanding and expectation of professional practice and behavior that apply as accepted standards.
Logical Systems: Quality improvements depend on a planned and systematic approach to monitoring, reviewing and analysing performance, identifying opportunities for improvement, and implementing the necessary changes in order to comply with the Standards for Registered Training Organisations.
Process Management: Improvements to performance are achieved by changing the way that things are done, that is, by managing processes. It is not simply a matter of telling people to do things better. Rather they should be provided with the opportunity to contribute their knowledge and experience to changes in the way work is done.
Continuous Improvement: The cyclical process of “evaluation – review – action – evaluation” should be continuous. This ensures that the organisation maintains the currency and incrementally raises the standard of their services and products.
Employee Participation: System improvement depends on the detailed knowledge of the Standards for Registered Training Organisations by all staff in the organisation. In order to contribute this knowledge, staff must be encouraged and supported to communicate.
