How to transition

You have time to transition

You have a transition period to manage changes to training products.

The transition period gives you time to:

Steps to check your qualifications history.

Go to training.gov.au
Use your organisation’s name or code to search Organisations or RTOs. This will open your ‘Organisation details’.
Find the ‘Display history’ check box on the top right side of the page. Tick the check box.
Click and open the Scope tab. Scope is your list of approved training products. Scroll down to ‘Qualifications history’. Here you can view the start and end dates for your training products.

The table below shows you the transition periods and responsibilities when products change.

You need to add not equivalent products to your scope. Check enrolments New students can enrol but need to complete or transfer out before end of the transition period. You can’t enrol new students into the superseded product after the transition period end date.

At the end of the transition period, we remove superseded, expired or deleted products from your scope of registration.

After we remove a product, ensure:

there are no further student enrolments
you don’t issue any qualifications or statements of attainment in the removed product.

You can deliver the superseded product during the transition period. This gives you time to prepare and transition.
