RTO marketing, on subscription.

An RTO marketing agency for ads, quiz funnels and fast follow-up.

The problem

RTOs lose students between the click and the enrolment form.

The next intake starts in six weeks. The trainers are booked and the room is paid for. But the class list is half full, and the enquiries that did come in are sitting in an inbox, waiting for someone to call them back.

Many RTOs do not lack interest in their courses. They lose people somewhere between the first click and the enrolment form:

  • Ads send people to the homepage, not to the course they clicked on.
  • Enquiries wait a day or two for a reply, and by then the person has asked other providers too.
  • Nobody follows up after the first call, so "I'll think about it" quietly becomes a no.
  • Funded and fee-for-service students get the same message, and it fits neither.
  • Every new ad waits in a compliance queue, because nobody built the rules into the template.
  • Your student management system knows who enrolled. Your ad account knows who clicked. Nothing joins them up.

On top of that, you market under rules most businesses never see. Your RTO code on every ad. Exact course titles. Honest funding wording. And if an agency gets it wrong, the finding lands on your RTO, not on them.

So you need an RTO marketing agency that does two jobs at once: fill your intakes, and keep your marketing inside the rules while it does. That is what we run for you, for one flat monthly fee, with you approving every ad, page and email before it goes live.

What you get

Everything an RTO needs to fill a course, in one plan.

One request at a time, about 48 hours each. You approve every ad, page and email before it goes live.

Guide

RTO marketing guide.

Filling an intake

How to fill an intake: one course, one student, one page

Pick the one course you most need to fill, the one kind of student most likely to take it, and build a campaign just for them. A campaign for "all our courses" gets vaguer at every step, from the ad to the follow-up.

Before you spend on ads, check four things:

It is on your scope

Check the course is current and on your scope on training.gov.au. Only market what you can deliver today.

You have room

Seats, trainers, and placements if the course needs them. A class you cannot deliver is worse than an empty one.

The outcome is clear

A course tied to a job, a licence or a promotion is easier to explain in an ad.

People already look for it

If other providers are running ads on the course name, people are searching for it.

Then start early. Most people do not enrol off one ad or one message, so the weeks before an intake are when follow-up does its work. When the first course fills, copy the system to the next one. We build the ads for this on Meta and Google, and the pages and quizzes they point to as part of websites and funnels.

Funded vs fee-paying

Funded vs fee-for-service students need different marketing

Funded students need to know whether they may qualify. Fee-for-service students need to know what it costs and what it leads to. Put both in one ad and neither group gets a clear answer.

Funded students

State programs, like Smart and Skilled in NSW or Skills First in Victoria, come with eligibility rules. Your funding contract may also set rules on how funded places are marketed and who can market them, and those rules can be stricter than ASQA's. So check your contract before any agency, including us, touches a funded course.

For funded courses, a quiz often works better than a plain page. Ask about goals, experience and how the person wants to study. Keep the result soft: "Based on your answers you may be eligible. The provider will confirm before you enrol." Never tell someone they are eligible or funded. And leave out "free" and "fully funded" when fees or eligibility rules apply. Some states also ban gifts and enrol-by-a-date deals for funded training. We cover this in 9 marketing mistakes RTOs make.

Fee-for-service students

These are people paying their own way, or employers paying for their staff. Lead with the outcome. Show fees and payment options where you can state them accurately. Use the follow-up emails to answer the question every self-funded student asks: is this worth it for me?

Employers are a different buyer again. They want to know how long staff will be away, how training fits around rosters, and what their team will be able to do after. LinkedIn ads and a page written for managers suit them better than a student ad.

Follow-up

Enquiry follow-up: why speed decides who enrols

Reply to every enquiry within minutes, then follow up for weeks. Someone choosing a course is usually comparing providers, and the first one to give a clear, helpful answer has the edge.

Nobody on your team can do this by hand every time. So we set it up to run on its own:

Straight away

An SMS and an email that confirm the enquiry and offer a call time.

Same day

A call task for your enrolment team, so a real person rings back.

Over the next few weeks

Short emails that each answer one question: cost and payment options, how long it takes, how study works, and what the course leads to.

Before each intake

A reminder to past enquirers who opted in, with the next start date.

Every message should match your pre-enrolment information on fees, refunds and entry requirements. Marketing emails and texts only go to people who gave consent, with a working unsubscribe.

An AI chat on your site can answer course questions at night and book a call for the next morning. It answers on the website and by text. It does not answer phone calls. It hands every funding and eligibility question to a person, because anything the chat says counts as your RTO saying it. The follow-up runs in your CRM and automations, which come with the plan. For more on the method, read how to automate lead follow-up without losing the human touch.

ASQA rules

ASQA rules on marketing: what your agency must get right

Under the Standards for RTOs 2025, your marketing must identify your RTO, use exact course codes and titles, and must not mislead. If an agency markets for you, it is generally a third party, and your RTO stays responsible for what it publishes.

The Standards for RTOs 2025 took over from the 2015 Standards on 1 July 2025. ASQA's Information and Transparency practice guide covers what marketing must include. In practice, that means:

Your RTO name and code

, or a link to your entry on the National Register, on every ad, page, quiz result and email that markets a course.

The exact course code and title

as it appears on training.gov.au. "Cert 4 Building" is how people talk, not how you can advertise.

Funding with its conditions

, in your approved wording.

No guaranteed jobs

, and no completion times you cannot back.

Written consent

for every student name, photo and story you use.

When a third party markets for you, the RTO generally needs a written agreement with them, needs to tell ASQA about the arrangement, and needs to approve and monitor what they publish. That applies to us too. Before we write a single ad, we ask for your approved list of course titles, codes and funding lines. Then you approve everything before it goes live.

This is general information, not legal or compliance advice. Check your own obligations with your compliance adviser, your funding contract and ASQA.

Results

What results look like

Two training organisations we have worked with got leads at $2 and $4 each. For the first, we ran the ads. For the second, we built a quiz funnel and ran the ads behind it.

Two honest notes. First, results depend on the course, the market, the time of year and the budget. Treat these as examples, not promises. Second, a lead is only the first step. A $2 lead who never picks up the phone is not a bargain. That is why every lead is tracked through to enrolment, and why the number to judge a campaign on is cost per enrolment.

We will not quote you a cost per enrolment before we have seen your course and your market. Be wary of anyone who does.

FAQ

Questions. Answered.

How much does an RTO marketing agency cost?

Ours is $4,995 USD a month, flat. That covers ads, course pages, quiz funnels, follow-up, your CRM and AI chat. There is no setup fee. Ad spend is paid to Meta, Google or LinkedIn directly. Usage fees for texts, emails and AI chat are also on you. They are small, and they go on a card you keep on file. See full pricing.

Is there a contract?

No. It is month to month, and you can cancel anytime. Try it for a week, and if you are not happy, get 75% back.

Do we own the ad accounts, pages and enquiry data?

Yes. Your site, your ads and your data are yours. If you leave, they stay with you.

Is Havstock a third party under the Standards for RTOs 2025?

Generally, yes. Any agency that markets or recruits for you is treated as a third party. That means a written agreement, ASQA told about the arrangement, and your sign-off on what we publish. That applies to us too, and nothing goes live until you approve it.

Can you market our funded courses?

Only once you have checked that your state funding contract allows a third party to market them. Then we use your approved funding wording, word for word, and never tell anyone they are eligible or funded.

Will our RTO code be on every ad?

Yes. Every ad, page, quiz result and email that markets a course shows your RTO name and code, and the exact course code and title from training.gov.au.

Can the AI chat answer our phones?

No. It answers on your website and by text, and it books calls with your team. It does not answer phone calls. It passes funding, eligibility and RPL questions to a person.

What don't you do?

Filming, photo shoots, video editing, print and organic social posting. We also do not review your policies and procedures or give legal advice.
