Registration of a Group Training Organisation - New South Wales

Description

You will need this registration to operate as a group training organisation (GTO).

GTOs employ apprentices and trainees and place them with a host employer for work and on-the-job training. GTOs ensure that employers maintain quality and continuity in delivering work based training.
