How to use this template
A trainer matrix should answer a simple audit question: why is this trainer authorised to deliver or assess this unit, and what evidence supports that decision?
This template gives RTO teams a practical structure for connecting trainers, units, credentials, currency evidence and expiry risk in one view.
