About
The person who scopes your work is the person who does it.
SkillsAlign is led by Mohit Sharma, TAE40116 qualified, with a background in aged care and community services training before moving into compliance work across the wider VET sector.
That background matters more than it might sound. Aged care is one of the more heavily scrutinised training areas in the country, where the consequences of a weak assessment tool aren't administrative. They show up in someone's care. Working in that environment builds a particular instinct for the difference between documentation that looks compliant and evidence that genuinely demonstrates competence.
SkillsAlign is a sole trader practice by design. There's no account manager, no junior handoff, and no version of the work that someone else finished at 11pm to hit a deadline.
How much of your documentation was written to satisfy an auditor, and how much to help a trainer teach?
The two aren't in conflict, but plenty of RTOs end up with paperwork that serves neither. That's usually the sign of tools built under time pressure by people already stretched, which is nearly everyone in this sector.
Compliance gaps are almost always a capacity problem, not a competence problem. I report what I find plainly and don't dress it up, but the point is to fix it, not to make anyone feel exposed.
Documentation you can't update yourself is a liability with a delay on it. Everything I build is handed over with a walkthrough so your team can carry it forward.
Agreed in writing before work starts. You should never be surprised by an invoice from a compliance consultant.
The value of an external reviewer is having nothing invested in the tools being fine. I keep that distance deliberately.
No pitch, no obligation. Tell me where your RTO is at and I'll give you a straight read, including if the answer is that you're in better shape than you thought.
