Not All CPP41419s Are Created Equal

MDPA Focus: Bust the “nationally recognised = equal quality” myth.

Saboteur Assumption

“If it’s on scope, it’s the same.” No. Completion probability, license timing, and employer signal vary with trainer ratio, assessment load design, and turnaround times.

Architect Evidence

Provider quality signals (scorecard)

Weight	Signal	Strong	Weak
30%	Assessment turnaround	≤5 business days	10+ days, opaque
25%	Trainer ratio	≤25:1 with proactive outreach	60+:1 reactive only
20%	Assessment integrity	Authenticity checks + clear rubrics	Copy‑paste, generic
15%	Recognition	Employer endorsements + regulator‑ready packs	Marketing claims only
10%	Support SLA	Written SLA + escalation path	“We’ll try our best”

Evidence you should see before paying

Sample marking rubric with feedback examples.
Written turnaround SLA and rectification policy.
Employer recognition signals (letters, partnerships, alumni outcomes).

Bard Narrative

Two students finish the same units. One waits weeks between submissions and stalls; the other gets 72‑hour feedback, fixes issues quickly, and lodges a clean license pack. Same certificate, different momentum.

Action Plan

Apply the scorecard to shortlist three RTOs. 2) Ask for real samples (rubrics, feedback). 3) Confirm who marks your work and average queue length.
