Renew a course

You need to apply at least 90 days before course accreditation expires.

However, we recommend applying 6 months before your course expires – so your course remains valid while we process your application.

Before you apply

Prepare evidence showing there is an ongoing industry need for your course.
Review your course content to make sure there is no duplication with current training packages. (New units of competency, skill sets or qualifications may have been added since your course was accredited).
Update your course document (see section B:3.2 of the national course template).
Make sure your course still complies with the Standards and the Australian Qualifications Framework.

There are 5 steps to renew your course, similar to the process for course accreditation.

Most renewal applications are processed within 6 months.

To check the progress of your application email accreditation@asqa.gov.au.
