A Registered Training Organisation (RTO) in Australia is a vocational organisation which provides students with training that results in Qualifications and Statements of Attainment. These are recognised and accepted by industry and other educational institutions throughout Australia. RTOs can be State and Territory Government or privately owned training organisations. All RTOs in Australia and the qualifications they are registered to deliver are listed on a national database, Training.Gov.Au, also referred to as TGA.

Recognition First trades under two names:

• Recognition First which is our original trading name and has supported students across a wide range of qualifications and work environments.
• Australian Early Childhood College this is a relevantly new trading name and has been established to support our large number of early childhood workplaces, staff and students. The college reflects our professional response to the needs of this very important workforce. The college helps staff  progress through their qualification journey from Certificate III to Bachelor Degrees.
