ASQA is empowered to approve transition periods longer than those detailed in Clause 1.26(a) of the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2015.
In accordance with the Guidance for Providers - Learner Transition, ASQA will only consider applications for a longer transition period where it can be demonstrated that there would be genuine disadvantage to a cohort of learners if such an extension was not approved.
ASQA has recently approved an extended transition period for the following training products:
- MSM31015 - Certificate III in Recreational Vehicle Service and Repair
- MSM31115 - Certificate III in Recreational Vehicle Manufacturing
The transition period for training, assessment and certification issuance for these training products is extended from 1 February 2024 to 31 January 2025.
These extensions apply only for students employed as apprentices or trainees who have commenced training and/or assessment in their qualification on or before 1 February 2024, being the former transition end date. All students must either complete and receive certification or be transferred to replacement training products, by the new transition end date.
ASQA has consulted with the Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority and the Training Accreditation Council of Western Australia regarding this extended transition period.
ASQA has sought advice from the Manufacturing Industry Skills Alliance Jobs and Skills Council regarding these extensions.
These training products reference above will remain on the RTOs' scope of registration until the end of the extended transition period.
