Registered training organisations approved to conduct Low Complexity AMPA

You may need to pass a final assessment before applying for a certificate of competency.

For low complexity certificates of competency, the final assessment is an AMSA mandated practical assessment (AMPA) conducted by a registered training organisation (RTO).

The following RTOs are approved to conduct AMPA.

For more information about RTOs, visit www.training.gov.au.

This list is ordered by state or territory of registration, although many RTOs deliver training and assessment in other regions as well.
