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 , 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.
Where ASQA has approved an extended transition period, that arrangement applies to all RTOs delivering the specific training product to the identified learner cohort (e.g. plumbing apprentices in a specific jurisdiction where the qualification has been superseded), regardless of who made the application.
ASQA has recently approved an extended transition period for 52707WA Graduate Diploma of Dermal Therapies & 52709WA Graduate Diploma of Cosmetic Nursing. The extended training, assessment and certification issuance period for this qualification ends on 30 May 2022.
The 52707WA Graduate Diploma of Dermal Therapies & 52709WA Graduate Diploma of Cosmetic Nursing will remain on RTOs scope of registration until the end of the extended transition period unless the RTO chooses to withdraw it from scope prior.
