Premium IT RTO Opportunity | Melbourne | $215,000 | Fresh ASQA Registration | CRICOS Pathway | Turnkey Operation

Acquire a brand-new, compliance-optimised Registered Training Organisation specialising in high-demand Information Technology qualifications, strategically positioned in Melbourne’s tech innovation corridor. With fresh ASQA registration secured until 2029+, a flexible CBD/suburban lease, and scope engineered for rapid CRICOS approval, this shell RTO delivers a risk-averse entry point into Australia’s $7.3 billion vocational IT education sector.

Key Features & Market Advantages of this IT RTO
1. Future-Proof Course Scope:
Accredited delivery rights for Cyber Security, Cloud Engineering, Data Analytics, and Programming – fields representing 4 of 5 top-priority IT roles on Australia’s Skills Shortage List (2024 National Report).
Pre-validated pathway to CRICOS approval (estimated 3-6 months processing), unlocking international student revenue from key markets like India, Nepal, and Vietnam.
Scalable scope for Information Technology

2. Operational Excellence:
Zero legacy compliance risks: Pristine audit status with pre-built ASQA documentation kits (policies, assessment tools, trainer matrices).
Unmatched lease flexibility: Operate from Melbourne CBD (Docklands/Collins Street), inner-north tech hubs (Carlton, Fitzroy), or suburban growth corridors – relocation/expansion-ready with 60-day exit clauses.
ready resources: Includes Learning Management System (LMS), simulation labs (virtual cyber ranges), and industry-aligned assessment kits.

3. Growth Accelerators:
Domestic surge: Victoria faces a shortfall of 12,000+ ICT professionals annually (Jobs Victoria 2024), driving unprecedented VET demand.
Migration alignment: 70% of IT qualifications align with PMSOL occupations (e.g., ICT Security Specialist #262112), attracting premium international fees.
Corporate pipeline: Leverage proximity to Melbourne’s tech epicentres (e.g., Melbourne University’s AI precinct, Telstra’s Docklands HQ) for B2B training contracts.
