Onboarding with Skin Deep Learning using our partner Auspicing RTO
SEPT 2026
Our structured onboarding system is designed to make the transition to Skin Deep Learning resources simple and well supported.
We guide your team through each stage, including licensing, system integration, platform training and assessment familiarisation. Trainers receive practical support to confidently navigate the SDL platform, understand the resources and implement assessments effectively.
Regular 30, 60 and 90-day check-ins also give your team opportunities to ask questions, address challenges and access additional support as they begin delivering with SDL.
