Audit & Compliance Confidence in Testing

For RTOs, ELICOS providers, and international education institutions, compliance is not optional — it is mission critical. Whether preparing for an ASQA audit, NEAS review, or CRICOS monitoring visit, providers must be able to demonstrate that their placement tests and LLN processes are valid, reliable, transparent, and defensible.

Laureate Online Testing has been purpose-built to give providers complete audit and compliance confidence, replacing informal or ad-hoc testing with a structured, evidence-based digital system.

Supports CRICOS and ASQA Compliance Expectations

Laureate aligns directly with regulatory expectations under the ESOS Framework, CRICOS obligations, and the ASQA Outcome Standards. The platform supports providers in meeting key requirements around:

• Pre-training review and learner suitability

• Language, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN) assessment

• Evidence-based placement decisions

• Ongoing monitoring of student progress

Every test attempt is time-stamped, logged, and stored within the system, providing a clear audit trail that can be produced instantly during audits or regulatory reviews.

Clear and Consistent Placement & LLN Evidence

One of the most common compliance risks identified by regulators is inconsistent or poorly documented placement processes.

Laureate removes this risk by providing:

• Standardised test structures across reading, writing, listening, and speaking

• CEFR-aligned and IELTS-referenced level outcomes

• Consistent scoring logic applied to all students

• Automated placement recommendations based on real performance data

This ensures that every student is placed using the same objective criteria, not subjective judgement or informal interviews.

For auditors, this means clear evidence that placement decisions are systematic, fair, and academically defensible.

Transparent Scoring and Reporting

Laureate’s scoring and reporting framework is fully transparent — a critical factor in modern compliance environments.

Providers can instantly generate:

• Individual student score reports

• Skill-level breakdowns (macro and micro skills)

• CEFR / IELTS equivalency summaries

• Cohort performance analytics

All results are traceable back to the exact questions attempted, responses provided, and scoring rubrics applied. This creates a strong compliance position where decisions can be clearly justified with real data.

Designed for Auditors, Not Just Educators

Unlike generic online quizzes or consumer-grade placement tests, Laureate has been designed with auditors in mind.

It provides:

• Permanent digital evidence (no lost paper tests)

• Consistent test conditions across cohorts and campuses

• Centralised records for multi-campus providers

• Easy export of reports for ASQA, NEAS, CRICOS, or internal audits

In practical terms, this means fewer compliance risks, faster audits, and significantly less administrative burden for academic and compliance teams.

Compliance Without Complexity

Laureate does not just help providers meet compliance — it simplifies it.

By automating LLN assessment, placement decisions, and reporting into one integrated platform, Laureate removes:

• Manual marking errors

• Inconsistent trainer judgements

• Paper-based record keeping

• Spreadsheet-based tracking systems

The result is a single source of truth for learner placement and LLN evidence.

In short: Laureate Online Testing gives providers the confidence to walk into any audit knowing their placement and LLN processes are robust, transparent, and fully defensible.
