This manual contains a number of sections or training programs (each one related to a specific unit of competency) that are presented in sequence, all progressing on from each other. PADI RTO is a training organisation registered by ASQA and authorised to deliver the following untis of competency within its scope of registration: Overview Each training program contains three portions: Knowledge Development, Skills Development and Scenario Assessment.
