We get a lot of people asking if they can make changes to the materials they buy. And the answer is yes. However...

 

Training Tools asserts their rights as developers of the content, to be recognised as such, and we retain the IP to all our materials; this does not stop an RTO making changes where allowable.  

 

It is important to note that any changes or contextualisations by an RTO could render any associated compliance information at the time of sale no longer applicable.
