Playing a vital role in providing quality training to students, a Group Training Organisation (GTO) is industry-based and accredited by the National Training Authority (NTA) to provide nationally-recognised training and to connect trainees to host employers to build workforces and create skilled employees for the future.

There are more than 350 GTO's across Australia employing around 25,000 staff across all industries.
A (GTO) is a business model that allows businesses to outsource their employee training needs to a single, centralised provider. GTOs offer their clients various services, from basic safety and compliance courses to more specialised and advanced programs.
By outsourcing their training requirements to a GTO, businesses can save time and money while ensuring that their employees receive the highest quality training.
