Add a qualification

To apply to add a training product:

check packaging rules of training product on Training.gov.au
complete a TAS and Trainer and assessor profile for the training product you plan to add to your RTO’s scope of registration. Save the completed documents in an easily accessible location.
check that your RTO can provide verifiable evidence of having the following, if required
- blue card
- white card
- special conditions and regulatory requirements relating to risks associated with units of competency, trainer and assessor qualification/s and currency and licencing requirements under the delegation of the QCAA.
log in to the QCAA Portal
complete an ‘Add qualification’ activity, in the VET application, including uploading the saved, completed TAS document.

A QCAA officer will be assigned to review the application. The assessor:
- will assess the application based on AQF level and risk level
- may request clarification of provided information
- will conduct a change of scope assessment for training products that are AQF Level 3 and above
- will make a recommendation about whether to approve or reject the application.

You will be notified via the VET app that your application has either been:

approved, including the date it will be added to your RTO’s scope of registration. You can start advertising the training product and enrolling students after this date
rejected, with reasons for rejecting the application.

Once you receive notification that the training product has been added to scope:

review the 'offered' box in the VET app for each of the units
tick the 'offered' box for all units listed in the TAS document. Ensure alignment between TAS document and Student Management.

Note:

Units without a tick in the ‘offered’ box will not be available for student enrolment.
It can take up to 90 calendar days to approve a training product application.
RTOs can only advertise and deliver approved training products. (It is unlawful to advertise or promote a training product that is not on your scope of registration.)
School RTOs should apply to add a training product at least six months before they plan to deliver.
