The specific aims of the current study were to undertake a series of case studies to provide qualitative insights into the implementation of validation and/or moderation processes being implemented (or intending to be implemented) within diverse RTO settings. In particular, the case studies were undertaken to:
* Explore the contexts in which validation and/or moderation processes occur;
* Document and compare assessment quality management processes and procedures currently being implemented;
* Identify potential barriers and/or facilitators (e.g., structural, process and/or personal factors) that may impact on the design and maintenance of assessment quality management processes within diverse RTO settings; and
* Identify further resources to be developed to support RTOs conducting validation and/or moderation activities within RTOs within diverse settings.
