How do I become a HaloNT partner?

To become a HaloNT partner, you must apply by signing a Partner Agreement with HaloNT. This agreement includes a personal guarantee and requires evidence of relevant insurances. Once approved, you can offer training courses using HaloNT’s approved materials and models.

What is included in the Partner Agreement?

The Partner Agreement outlines your responsibilities as a partner, which include:

• Offering training courses to students.
• Providing evidence of insurance coverage.
• Ensuring that all training and assessments are conducted according to HaloNT’s standards.
• Managing internal arrangements for trainers and assessors who will deliver and assess the training.

Do I need an ABN to become a HaloNT partner?

Yes, if your revenue exceeds $75,000 annually, the Australian Tax Office (ATO) requires you to have an ABN. HaloNT does not charge GST on training services, but having an ABN allows you to manage any GST obligations related to your business.

How does HaloNT interact with partners?

HaloNT’s relationship is directly with the partner. The partner is responsible for sourcing students, managing trainers and assessors, and ensuring compliance with the agreed terms. HaloNT supports the partner by providing RTO coverage and performing periodic checks.

How are certificates issued?

HaloNT issues digital certificates directly to students after training and assessments are completed and payment for services is processed.

 

What is the role of a trainer within the partner arrangement?

As a trainer under a partner arrangement, you are responsible for delivering the training courses offered by the partner. You must use HaloNT-approved training materials and follow the guidelines set out by HaloNT and the partner.

How are trainers managed?

Trainers are managed internally by the partner. The partner ensures that trainers meet all required qualifications and competencies to deliver the specific training programs.

 

What is the role of an assessor within the partner arrangement?

Assessors are responsible for assessing students in the courses offered by the partner. Like trainers, assessors are part of the partner’s internal structure and must ensure that assessments are conducted in compliance with HaloNT’s standards.

How are assessors managed?

Assessors, like trainers, are managed internally by the partner. The partner ensures that assessors meet the required qualifications and are competent to assess the courses being delivered.

 

Why does HaloNT require high-risk assessors?

HaloNT is approved to deliver and assess high-risk work licences, which are regulated by Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) authorities. As part of this approval, it is a legal requirement that high-risk assessments are conducted by qualified, independent assessors who are aligned with HaloNT. However, HaloNT has no role in approving these assessors; this approval is granted by the relevant WHS authorities.

What is a high-risk work licence, and why is it important?

A high-risk work licence is a certification mandated by WHS authorities that allows individuals to perform specific high-risk tasks, such as rigging, scaffolding, and operating machinery. These licences ensure that only qualified individuals perform these high-risk activities safely. HaloNT’s approval to deliver and assess high-risk work licences requires all high-risk training to be assessed by WHS-approved assessors who are aligned with HaloNT.

What is required to become a high-risk assessor with HaloNT?

To become a high-risk assessor with HaloNT, an assessor must:

• Be approved by the relevant WHS authority.
• Hold the relevant high-risk work licences for the units they will assess.
• Provide evidence of qualifications and relevant industry experience.
• Be aligned with HaloNT to assess high-risk trainees, but WHS continues to regulate and monitor the assessor independently of HaloNT.

What is HaloNT’s role in high-risk assessments?

While HaloNT requires assessors to be aligned with the RTO, the approval of assessors is entirely the responsibility of the WHS authorities. Assessors are sourced by the partner and approved by the WHS authorities. WHS continues to regulate and monitor both the assessors and HaloNT to ensure compliance. HaloNT does not control or approve the assessor in the execution of their duties as an assessor.

Where can high-risk assessors conduct assessments?

High-risk assessors aligned with HaloNT can conduct assessments for high-risk work licences in Queensland and New South Wales, provided they comply with WHS regulations and HaloNT’s alignment process.

 

Is the partner the RTO in a HaloNT partnership arrangement?

No, the partner is not, and is never the RTO in a HaloNT partnership arrangement. The partner operates under HaloNT, which acts as the Registered Training Organisation (RTO). While the partner is responsible for delivering training and assessments, they must never claim to be the RTO or allow any situation where it may be assumed that they are the RTO. All RTO responsibilities and compliance remain with HaloNT.
