How an Early Cloud Assess Adopter Eliminated 99% of Paper Across Their RTO
EIM Training is a Queensland-based RTO and early Cloud Assess adopter that was held back by a paper-based system limiting visibility and creating operational drag. CEO Nick Bottrall needed a purpose-built solution his team could actually use, having already ruled out generic tools as too cumbersome. Within two weeks, Cloud Assess was live across the organisation and printing at one facility alone dropped from 15,000 to just 128 copies per month, a reduction of more than 99%.

- The Journey
From paper to powerful
Paper-based system stifling growth and limiting business visibility
EIM Training was running on a paper-based system that created friction across every part of the business. At just one facility, the organisation was printing 15,000 copies per month to keep assessments running. CEO Nick Bottrall lacked the transparency needed to make informed decisions and found it difficult to champion any solution that wasn’t intuitive for the wider team. Previous attempts with generic tools failed to meet the specific needs of an RTO, leaving the organisation without a workable path forward.
- One facility alone printing 15,000 copies every month
- No real-time visibility into student progress or compliance data
- Generic tools too cumbersome for RTO-specific workflows
- CEO lacked a tool easy enough to champion to the wider team
- Remote and field-based students had no practical way to submit evidence
Purpose-built platform live and running within two weeks
Cloud Assess was selected because it was built specifically for RTOs and was ready to deploy without lengthy configuration. The transition from paper to the online platform took just two weeks, with trainers, assessors, and administrators all brought onto a single system. Remote evidence capture was a standout capability, enabling students such as electricians working in the field to submit assessments without attending a physical class. Automated administrative tasks freed up trainer time, while management gained access to live data across the organisation.
- Full paper-to-digital transition completed in two weeks
- Remote evidence capture for field-based and off-site students
- Automated admin tasks freeing trainers to focus on students
- Real-time data access for management and administrators
- Purpose-built for RTOs with no complex configuration required
99% less printing, real-time visibility, ongoing ROI
Since implementing Cloud Assess, EIM Training reduced printing at one facility from 15,000 to just 128 copies per month, eliminating more than 99% of assessment printing across the organisation. Trainers have more time for meaningful student interaction, administrators have full visibility over enrolments and progress, and management can access real-time information at any point. The platform continues to evolve through regular feature updates, providing compounding value beyond the initial implementation.
