The purpose of this policy and procedure is to ensure Imperial compliance with SRTOs and to ensure that learners’ records are systematically managed. Learners’ records are defined as enrolment details, learning support needs, records of complaints and appeals, outcomes at unit of competency level and qualification level, statement of attainment and qualifications completed and issued.

Imperial will systematically collect, record and store records of learners’ participation and course progress in their training program. We define the systematic collection, recording and storage of records as:

• records of assessment results of unit of competency
• records can be easily accessed;
• privacy of the learner is protected;
• information collected from and about learners meets the requirements of state and territory registering bodies
• Imperial staff is aware of record collection, recording and storage responsibilities, and carry out these responsibilities effectively
