In some cases, ASQA is empowered to approve transition periods longer than those detailed in Clauses 1.26 (a), (b) and (c) 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 SIS30115, SIS40115 and SIS50115.
The extended training, assessment and certification issuance period for these qualification ends on 31 December 2024. It permits new enrolments after 11 December 2023 (existing transition end date) on the condition that all students must either complete or be transferred to replacement qualifications by the transition end date.
The decision to extend the transition end date was supported by the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority.
ASQA consulted with the VRQA and TAC WA for this extended transition request.
These qualifications will remain on the RTOs scope of registration until the end of the extended transition period.
