Is your ITSSAR instructor registration clock ticking down this year? If you are a Category 1 Instructor, it’s time to check your dates and plan ahead because critical changes are now in full effect.
Recent updates from the Independent Training Standards Scheme and Register (ITSSAR) have brought an important rule change that every instructor needs to be aware of: the old 6-month grace period is officially a thing of the past.
Previously, many instructors relied on a built-in cushion—a 6-month extension window that offered a bit of breathing room after a registration expiry date.
That flexibility is gone.
ITSSAR has cracked down to ensure strict compliance across the board. There is no longer any extra time, no safety cushion, and no falling back on a late extension. If your registration expires, it expires.
Leaving your re-registration to the last minute is no longer just a gamble—it could mean a lapse in your credentials, preventing you from delivering compliant training.
To maintain your status and avoid any downtime in your instructing career, re-reg candidates must complete their refresher courses BEFORE their expiry date hits.
Failing to do so means you risk losing your active status, and getting caught out by the zero-tolerance approach to expired deadlines can cause major disruptions to your schedule and business.
At HL Training, we want to help you stay ahead of the curve and keep your credentials fully compliant. Course slots fill up quickly, and waiting until the final weeks is a risk you simply shouldn’t take under the new rules.
Check your expiry date today.
Book your ITSSAR re-registration course early.
Ensure your qualifications remain active with zero gaps.
