More than 6400 former students' qualifications and/or statements of attainment have been revoked by the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) of Registered Training Organisation (RTO) Luvium Pty Ltd. Luvium Pty Ltd, provided a variety of qualifications across several fields, including Early Childhood Education and Care and First Aid.
An ASQA compliance investigation found, Luvium Pty Ltd, had issued qualifications without appropriate training or competency-based assessment by qualified assessors between 1 January 2023 and 19 October 2024.
More than 6400 of the 7,360 former students who received notifications did not reply, and ASQA revoked their credentials and/or statements of attainment as of the 15th November 2024.
ASQA CEO Saxon Rice said the cancellation decisions were made in the interests of public safety and the members of the community who rely on appropriately qualified staff.
"There is no place for anyone who seeks to undermine the VET sector or exploit students and we will continue to take action to remove providers who are found to be fraudulently issuing qualifications".
How do I know if my employee’s qualification has been cancelled?
Where possible, ASQA and other relevant sector regulators have been contacting employers who may be in one of the sectors where students may have been issued with a qualification by Luvium.
You may want to review your records to identify if any of your current employees are affected. ASQA began issuing notices of its decision to cancel qualifications to former students of Luvium from 15 November 2024.
For some students this cancellation will come into effect 7 days following the receipt of this notice, however, this may vary from case to case depending on the circumstances.
