With this announcement, your RTO may continue to train, assess, and issue certificates for the listed qualifications until their new transition period deadlines. Your RTO can include these qualifications in your scope of registration or choose to withdraw this prior to the end of the extension.
Further, under Clauses 1.26 (a), (b) and (c) of the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2015, ASQA may extend transition periods if it deems that the transition period would place students at a disadvantage.
What Does the Extended Transition Periods Mean for My RTO?
For RTOs that are having a tough time due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this extra time to plan and resource their transition projects and move students to the new course will be a massive help.
For RTOs still trading well or have even had a boost due to the surge of students looking for distance training options to keep themselves occupied and gain certifications while they are in lockdown and potentially unemployed, there is still a good case to make the switch to the latest qualifications if possible.
Remember, students also want to make the most of their financial and time investment in training & education. If they have the option of enrolling in an already superseded course or the NEW version of the course, almost all will choose the latter option…
What Should My RTO Do?
If you can, we do recommend transitioning qualifications as early as possible. It means you can start enrolling students into the new course (and hopefully pick up more business due to students seeking the latest version of the course!).
It also simplifies your life in the future. If you’re able to train out all current students in the old course prior to the transition deadline, you will save yourself from having to move students from the old course to the new one.
When qualification packaging has changed, or units are not equivalent from the old course to the new one, this can add substantial additional work for those students – potentially leading to complaints and unhappiness in your student cohort (we’ve been there!).
If you have any enquiries about delivering these qualifications or if you want to upgrade your RTO training materials, you can reach us at 1300 885 484 or send us an email at enquiries@compliantlearningresources.com.au.
