Profitable SA TAE & PM RTO. Funded, Strong WIP, 2029 Registration. (REF: 1575)

Potential

Growth options include tiering the existing micro-credential library into self-paced, coached and accredited products, appointing a dedicated business development resource, promoting the TAE offering through LinkedIn and direct outreach, and pursuing rolling cohorts attached to a major South Australian infrastructure program running to 2030. Adding qualifications to scope or extending subsidised delivery would need regulator or departmental approval. These are opportunities a capable buyer could pursue, not committed outcomes.

Lease

No lease or premises. Home-based online delivery through the LMS. Face-to-face is usually hosted at client sites.

Employees

No employees. Training is delivered by contracted trainers and assessors paid at agreed milestones. Admin is outsourced.

Reason for Sale

After 14 years the owner is moving towards retirement and wants the client relationships, current learners and purpose-built resources left in capable hands. She will introduce key client contacts, hand over the learning platform and support the transition, and can continue the specialist psychometric work if a buyer wants it retained. Owner dependence is real: the director covers compliance, client liaison, project management and some delivery, so a buyer needs a replacement plan from day one.

History

The current owner has held and operated this RTO for 14 years and registration currently runs through to 2029. It has built long-standing relationships across defence, utilities, agribusiness, government and major infrastructure, with work won by referral rather than paid marketing. Delivery is coaching-led through a purpose-built Moodle learning management system. Vendor-advised turnover has ranged from roughly $420,000 to $1 million in recent years. The supplied July 2024 to May 2026 schedule records 436 enrolments, including 176 in TAE40122.

About the Business

This is a 14-year-old owner-operated RTO with real earnings, not a shell. It is an established, profitable RTO built on repeat corporate and government training.

BUYER HIGHLIGHTS

• Earnings support the price, not just the registration.
• Registration runs to 2029, giving a buyer working runway rather than an immediate re-registration deadline.
• 13 qualifications on scope across TAE, project management, WHS, HR, business and quality auditing, so revenue is not tied to one product.
• Work in progress at the last vendor count spans multiple TAE and project management cohorts plus fee-free places under a South Australian head agreement.
• A purpose-built Moodle Learning Management System with bespoke learning and assessment resources for every qualification on scope. Rebuilding it takes real time and money.

Revenue is fee-for-service corporate delivery, subsidised South Australian delivery limited to the TAE and project management streams, plus consulting and micro-credentials. There is no lease, premises or plant and costs are mostly variable contractor fees, so added revenue largely reaches the bottom line.

At $760,000 the price is about 3.3 times FY26 normalised earnings.

Subject to contract, regulatory notifications, funding requirements and buyer due diligence.
