If we approve your course, we send you a letter of offer and contract.

Your authorised representative must sign and return the contract to us.

We currently approve RTOs to deliver RSA training courses until 30 June 2027. Before your contract expires, we’ll start the contract renewal process.

After you sign your contract, we give you login details to our RSA Certificate Database.

This allows you to register learners and access additional training materials.

When a learner completes your RSA course and you provide their details to us through the RSA Certificate Database:

We email the learner a certificate number so they can create an account on the LCV Learning Hub.
The learner is then prompted to complete the training module Sexual Harassment and Assault: Recognise, Prevent and Respond.
When the learner has completed this module, they can download their RSA Certificate of Completion.
