WHO WE WORK WITH

RTOs we work with

A trade RTO, a community services college and a provider selling short tickets each attract very different students. We start with your courses, delivery modes and funding options, then build campaigns course by course.

WHICH ONE ARE YOU?

Trade and construction

Apprentices and tradies ready to upskill

Trade students search for specific qualifications and tickets, and many decide on their phone on site. We run search by course and location and short video that shows your real workshops and trainers.

Community services

Learners heading into care and support work

Aged care, disability and early childhood courses attract career changers and returning learners. We show what the work and the study really involve, and keep claims about jobs and outcomes accurate.

Short courses and tickets

Full classes for courses that run every week

First aid, white card and forklift courses live on volume and timing. We run search by course and suburb, push dates with spare seats and send students straight to a booking page.

Online training providers

Students who study from anywhere

Online RTOs compete nationally for every search. We focus spend on the courses and audiences that enrol, test messages on flexibility and support, and track enquiries through to paid enrolment.

PROBLEMS AND FIXES

The problems we see. The Sneaky fixes we deliver.

RTO marketing and admissions teams tell us these things when course enquiries stop turning into students. Here is how we fix them.

Sound familiar? Let's talk

Lots of enquiries, few who are eligible

THE FIX

We put eligibility, entry requirements and study load up front in ads and forms, so students check before they enquire and your team spends time on people who can enrol.

Every course gets the same budget

THE FIX

We split campaigns by course and qualification, then move budget to the courses with places to fill and the strongest path from enquiry to enrolment.

Funded and fee-paying students mixed together

THE FIX

Funding rules vary by state and by student. We run separate messages and landing pages for funded and fee-paying pathways, so each student sees options that apply to them.

Admissions can't call everyone back in time

THE FIX

We set up automatic email and SMS replies, easy booking for a course advice call and lead routing by course, so students hear from you while they are still deciding.

Students drop out between enquiry and payment

THE FIX

We track each step from enquiry to enrolment form to payment, find where students stall and fix it with clearer pages, reminders and follow-up.

Ads say too little about what the course involves

THE FIX

Students want to know duration, delivery, assessment and cost. Our team writes ads and course pages that answer those questions clearly, without overstating job outcomes.

How we work with rtos and training

How we fill RTO courses

  1. 01

    Rank the courses

    We look at places, margins and enrolment rates by course, so budget goes to the qualifications you most need to fill, not just the most searched.

  2. 02

    Track to enrolment

    Enquiries, calls and enrolment forms are tracked by course and matched to your student management system where it allows.

  3. 03

    Write accurate ads

    Our team makes ads and course pages that explain the qualification, delivery and funding clearly, checked against the training rules before launch.

  4. 04

    Back the best courses

    Budget follows the courses, channels and audiences that enrol students, and we report cost per enrolment each month in plain English.

CHANNELS

Channels that fill RTO courses

All services

Google Ads

Students search by course name and suburb. As your Google Ads agency, we run Search campaigns for each qualification and location.

Meta ads

Facebook and Instagram reach career changers before they search. Our Meta ads agency team runs course campaigns with clear eligibility up front.

TikTok ads

Short videos of trainers and workshops help younger learners picture the course. Our TikTok ads agency makes and runs them.

Landing pages

Course pages that answer cost, duration and delivery questions enrol more students. Our conversion rate optimisation agency work fixes that step.

Email marketing

Many students enquire long before they enrol. Our email marketing agency team builds the follow-up that keeps them moving.

FAQ

RTO marketing questions

Can you market online and face-to-face delivery separately?

Yes. Online and campus students search differently and care about different things, so we run separate campaigns, messages and landing pages for each delivery mode.

How do you advertise state-funded training places?

Accurately. Eligibility for funded places depends on the state and the student, so ads point students to an eligibility check rather than promising a subsidised price. We keep funding wording up to date as programs change.

Can you promote short courses that run on fixed dates?

Yes. We run ads by course date and location, push sessions with spare seats and pause ads for full classes, so you don't pay for bookings you can't take.

Can you advertise courses with VET Student Loans?

Yes, with care. Advertising for these courses has strict rules, including a ban on inducements, so we keep every ad factual and point students to the official information on eligibility and fees.

Which courses should we advertise first?

The ones with places to fill and a good path from enquiry to enrolment. We look at capacity, course margins and past enrolments, start with a small set of courses and add more as tracking shows what works.

Can TikTok work for a registered training organisation?

For younger learners and career changers, often yes. Short videos of trainers, workshops and day-to-day study show what the course looks like, which helps students picture themselves in it.

A note from our founders
April and Brendan Ford, co-founders
April & Brendan FordCo-founders

Marketing should act like part of your commercial engine. Not a cost centre.

We started Sneaky because we were tired of watching great brands miss their potential. Campaigns that didn't convert. Data nobody tracked. Junior advice, and service that left people chasing.

So we built the agency we would want to hire. A senior team on every account, no hand-offs, and every decision measured against profit, not platforms. We'll speak your language.
