Validation Program

See your 5-year validation schedule at a glance.

---

The Validation Program shows your 5-year validation schedule. It automatically plans when each unit should be validated based on its risk level.

---

Before You Start

We recommend creating validation strategies for all qualifications, skill sets, and accredited courses before creating your program. This ensures your program reflects a complete, risk-based approach from day one.

---

When Units Appear in the Program

A unit will appear in the validation program when it has:

1. A risk level set — High, Medium, or Low

2. A next validation date — when the unit is next due for validation

Units missing either of these won't appear in the program. RTOSafe shows a warning at the top of the page if any units are missing.

How Validation Frequency Works

The risk level determines how often a unit is validated:

Risk Level	Typical Frequency
High	More frequent (e.g., twice per year)
Medium	Standard (e.g., once per year)
Low	Less frequent (e.g., every 2–3 years)

You can adjust these frequencies in Validation Settings to match your organisation's capacity.

What Happens Next

• The program generates a 5-year view of when each unit is due for validation

• As you complete validations, the schedule updates automatically

• Units with higher risk levels appear more frequently in your schedule
