Risk-rated 5-year schedule
Every unit placed in the cycle, flagged units brought forward into years 1–2, the remainder spread so nothing passes the five-year mark.
The hero tool
Five-Year Risk-Rated Schedule Builder
The 2025 Standards replaced the validation quota with a schedule you must justify on risk. This tool builds that logic in front of you — and prices the work.
What the tool produces
Justification narrative
The written “why” behind the schedule — the piece a bare spreadsheet is missing when the regulator asks.
Gap flags
Units with no validation history in the current cycle, surfaced before they become findings.
TAE independence flags
TAE products marked where the validator must be independent of your RTO, so the requirement is planned, not discovered.
Note: the price below covers validating your flagged units plus the schedule build. The full schedule export (PDF + .ics calendar of validation dates) is delivered with the service — the tool on this page shows the logic and the price. For sample-size statistics, ASQA publishes its own validation sample size calculator; use it alongside this tool — we deliberately have not cloned it.

How the risk weighting works
The tool applies a risk-weighted sample to your unit count: no specific signal flags 20 per cent of units (minimum two), a new trainer or assessor 35 per cent, a new or updated product 40 per cent, poor completion data 45 per cent, and a live complaint or appeal 50 per cent. Flagged units are validated now; the remainder is placed across the rest of the cycle. The weighting is our published starting position — the delivered schedule adjusts it per product, with the reasoning written down.
