Security and Confidentiality
Hardcopies of participant / learner assessments will be stored until archived. Archived copies will be stored electronically. Participant / learner records will only be made available to either the participant / learner whose record it is or to the employer who paid for the participant / learner’s training. Participant / learner records will not be released other than above without the written consent of the participant / learner involved.
Archiving
As specified below in "Records to be kept". "Archiving" is the process where hard and soft copies of relevant documents are converted to electronic form and stored in the electronic storage system.
If NOST ceases to operate as an RTO, the Director will email electronic copies of all course rolls, statements of attainment and qualification to DET within 14 days and a read receipt will be requested.
External Reporting
Participant / learner assessment outcomes will be made available to:
- Other RTOs seeking information related to mutual recognition,
- Clients seeking summaries of staff training, and
- Relevant state and federal government departments as required by law.
Access to Records by Clients
Participant / learners may request copies of their own records as specified in the Certification Policy.
