In this episode of the RTO Superhero Podcast, Angela Connell-Richards and co-host Maciek Fibrich unpack one of the most misunderstood aspects of the 2025 Standards for RTOs—Standard 2.2, with a laser focus on assessing Language, Literacy, Numeracy and Digital (LLND) skills prior to enrolment.

There’s been growing confusion in the VET sector:
🌀 Do RTOs need to buy expensive LLN and digital skills tools?
🌀 Does every course require digital assessments?
🌀 What’s the difference between a review and a formal assessment?

Angela and Maciek cut through the noise with practical insights, examples, and real-world discussion. They compare two very different units—HLTAID011 (Provide First Aid) and BSBINS501 (Implement Information and Knowledge Management Systems)—to explore how LLND requirements change based on the training product and delivery mode.

✅ What you'll learn:

• How to interpret Standard 2.2 and align it with your enrolment process
• When digital literacy must be assessed—and when it’s not necessary
• Why First Aid is not the same as a Diploma unit (and how ASQA will likely treat them differently)
• How to tailor your LLND review to the training product, learner cohort, and delivery mode
• What your RTO must document to stay compliant
• Whether ChatGPT can help (spoiler: yes—but only if you know how to guide it!)

🎁 Bonus: Download your free LLND Suitability Planning Checklist from the show notes—Angela’s must-have tool to help you write your own LLND review process.
