Angela McGregor, Managing Director

Angela’s passion is supporting businesses to navigate the complexities of becoming and operating an RTO through coaching, consulting and the provision of key support services. Angela’s understanding of the system enables her to guide clients through the ‘red tape’ and compliance requirements and work to empower clients and their staff to become confident and succeed in the industry .

“From starting in the VET sector in the mid-1990s as a Trainer and Assessor, to setting up and eventually selling my own RTO’s, I have developed the key processes and solutions to remove the stress and guide clients through every stage of their RTO journey.”

RTO Consulting exists to:

  • Unpack the regulations and complexities of the RTO industry,

  • Save you time, money and reduce risk by developing your in-house skills,

  • Provide a clear, step-by-step solution for anything to do with setting up or running an RTO.

What our clients say

  • I have now used RTO Consulting for 8 years and I have learnt more from Angela than I can even try and digest from reading standards and requirements and without her skills and knowledge I would be nervous to go through audit. Her guidance and expertise ensures that my trainers can do what they are good at and do it in a way that I know I won’t have stress down the track. I would be lost without her as my backbone.

    Brad Barber - EDB Training Services

  • When I decided to set up my own RTO Angela was my first and only choice as consultant to assist with this. Our application went through, and the RTO is still operating. She is confident in what she is saying and, when questioned or challenged, can always back up what she has said with facts and/or locations where the information can be found. I would recommend Angela without hesitation and highly recommend the events and webinars that she presents.

  • Angela worked with me to address some major rectifications for an accredited course we submitted to ASQA. It was a combination of her knowledge of ASQA's requirements and also how to structure my course for vocational education that got the submission over the line. I think next time I will engage Angela before making my submission. A great experience. Angela is knowledgeable and professional... and most importantly very patient.

    Marcus Xavier - Course Developer

  • Angela and the team at RTO consulting was a great asset to us during our accreditation process. We found them to be a wealth of knowledge and support through the whole accreditation process. We could not have become an RTO without them. Thanks RTO Consulting!

    Scott & Melanie Whimpey – First Aid Accident Emergency

  • Description goeAfter failing a review by ASQA of our own rectifications, we engaged RTO Consulting to assist us in addressing the rectifications required during appeal through the Australian Appeals Tribunal. Angela was able to confidently answer our questions over the phone and quickly establish what was required for the resubmission. She provided support and guidance throughout the process, giving us the confidence that the issues would be addressed and the suspension removed. The resubmission was quickly approved by ASQA, the suspension on the RTO lifted and re-registration granted. We are now proud James Technologies (Training) is of the highest standards and fully compliant and have no hesitation in recommending Angela to other RTOs

  • Angela’s knowledge of RTO compliancy is comprehensive. Her acumen and ability to communicate and coach has provided us with the knowledge and confidence to tackle tasks and bring them through to completion. This has provided us with a sound foundation on which to grow the business and pursue the mission and vision of the organisation as well as satisfy regulations. Angela has been for us what Thomas Edison was to the light bulb – she turned the ‘light on’ and navigated us through areas that have translated into confidence for the team. As a result, we now have a clearer picture to prepare us for planned expansion to meet the growing demand for the delivery of national qualifications. The world needs more Angela McGregors!

    Bruce Copleston – National College of Business

  • I have to say it has been the most stressful 18 months I have ever known trying to understand the registration process along with all the standards and conditions. I was advised about Angela’s service and when I sent through the last audit report she instantly identified the issues associated with the report and gave me an action plan to implement. Angela’s expertise and knowledge was extensive and I felt I could phone and ask any question relating to my RTO status without feeling intimidated or silly. After I received the call from ASQA I immediately called Angela - no matter how big her clientele is, I always felt like I received undivided attention. I would recommend anyone to RTO consulting no matter how big or small the problem.

    Carol Anne Williams – Trendz Beauty and Training

  • Working with Angela and her team has been a fantastic experience. We have had our hand held every step of the way and we know we would never have been successful on our own. The expertise, guidance and help has been second to none and I would happily recommend RTO Consulting to anyone looking to get their courses Nationally Recognised or Accredited.

    Kylie Carlson – Academy of Wedding & Event Planning

  • We used RTO Consulting to develop two accredited courses. This is not something we could have achieved without Angela McGregor. Angela is extremely knowledgeable and easy to work with. She delivered her services to us with minimal fuss and extracted the information she needed in an efficient manner. At all times Angela gave us the confidence that the desired outcome would be achieved when others had told us it was impossible. We have no hesitation in recommending RTO Consulting to anyone who is embarking on the development of an accredited course.

    Tracy Angwin – Australian Payroll Association

  • Having run an RTO for 15 years, I can honestly say Angela is one of the best consultants I have had the pleasure of working with. No nonsense, straight to the point, knowledgeable, quick and seamless. Reaccrediting a privately owned training package is a daunting task however Angela’s knowledge, coaching and the way she managed the project was 10/10.
