ASQA announcement:
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:
- CPC31511 - Certificate III in Formwork/Falsework
The extended training, assessment and certification issuance period for this qualification ends on 31 December 2024.
It permits new enrolments in this qualification throughout the extended transition period, however all students must either complete or be transferred to the replacement qualification by the transition end date.
ASQA consulted with the VRQA and TAC WA for this extended transition request.
This qualification will remain on the RTOs scope of registration until the end of the extended transition period.
