Extended transition period: UET Units of Competencies (x7)

Updated 11 September 2025

ASQA is empowered to approve transition periods longer than those detailed in Clause 1.26(a) of the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2015. 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.

ASQA has approved an extended transition period for the units of competency listed below:

• UETDRRF001 Perform cable pit/trench/excavation rescue
• UETDRRF002 Perform EWP rescue

• Students enrolled in these units of competency by 13 October 2025 must complete training and assessment and be issued AQF certification documentation in a timely manner.
