Scope of registration

Updates to scope of registration

The MNC04, BCC03, RII06, MNQ03, DRT03 and MNM05 Training Packages will usually be superseded 12 months from endorsement of the RII09 Resources and Infrastructure Industry Training Package (7 July 2009). RTOs must consult with their State Training Authority (STA) for information about scope to deliver RII09 qualifications. New qualifications will require an extension of scope of registration. If an RTO has a qualification on its scope that has been updated with an equivalent qualification, it may be possible to ‘roll over’ that scope. Decisions about scope of registration are made by STAs from each state and territory. RTOs must contact their local STA for advice – contacts are included in the following table. SkillsDMC has no role in this process – it is a decision made by individual STAs.

Transition arrangements

Transition arrangements apply where existing qualifications are replaced by qualifications in the RII09 Resources and Infrastructure Industry Training Package. Again, RTOs should contact their local STA for advice. When making a decision to transfer to a new qualification, consider such issues as:

  • the proportion of the qualification that has been completed by the learner
  • the degree of alignment with the new qualification
  • any potential advantage or disadvantage to learners.
