Where the register points next

training.gov.au points at nothing after RII40120: it is the current product, and no replacement is listed.

This product is listed on the National Schedule of Training Product Development: under review by Mining and Automotive Skills Alliance (Critical Control Management for Mine Site Supervisors and Managers), with submission to the Assurance Body expected by 30 September 2026. That date has passed, so a revised product can reach the register at any time — but submission is not publication, and the record above is still what the register says today.

What the register says changed

These are the mapping notes training.gov.au attaches to each supersession, quoted as the register writes them. They are the only public record of what actually changed between two versions.

    The register records this supersession but attaches no note on what changed.

Official documents on the register

What training.gov.au lists for RII40120 and for its training package RII (release 11.0), with the name and date the register publishes for each file. We link them; we have not read them, and nothing on this page is taken from their contents.

Is RII40120 on your scope?

This page is the register's record of one product. What it cannot tell you is whether RII40120 sits on your own scope today, or what else on that scope has moved without anyone noticing. Enter your RTO number and we read every product on your live scope against training.gov.au and tell you which ones are superseded and which replacements the register flags not equivalent.

Public code, nothing else. We read your live scope from training.gov.au and answer here — we keep neither the code nor the answer; what remains is the two-minute abuse counter described on our privacy page.

Whether a supersession requires anything of you, and what, sits with you and your regulator. This page maps what the register records; it does not make that judgement. If the difference between an equivalent and a non-equivalent replacement is the question, we wrote it up in equivalent vs not equivalent.

What RII40120 is made of

training.gov.au lists 62 units for RII40120: 4 core and 58 elective. To complete it, the register publishes a rule of 4 core units plus 9 electives — 13 units in all.

register contradictionListed in RII40120: 2 units the register itself has deleted, with no replacement published2

RII40120 is current and the register publishes its unit grid. For these units the register also publishes, on their own record, a status that is not current and an empty replacement list. Both statements are the register's own.

  • RIISAM403EelectiveCommission/recommission plantThe register lists RIISAM403E in RII40120 and has had it deleted since 16 March 2026. It publishes no replacement.
  • TAEASS401electivePlan assessment activities and processesThe register lists TAEASS401 in RII40120 and has had it deleted since 7 December 2022. It publishes no replacement.

Read from the unit grid training.gov.au publishes for RII40120 (release 3, 2 September 2026) and from each unit's own record on the same register. We do not say what to put in their place: the register publishes no replacement, and which elective covers the gap is a packaging-rules decision for your RTO.

Core and elective are the register's own flags on the unit grid of the release read here. "Not current" means training.gov.au no longer recommends that unit for use inside this product — it does not say anything about the product itself.

Source: this product on training.gov.au, Australia's national training register — or go straight to the units it requires. The rule itself is item 14 of F2025L00355, and ASQA publishes the extensions it has granted. Read on 14 October 2026 UTC. Every code, title, date, status and equivalence flag on this page is the register's; nothing here is estimated or inferred, and where the register publishes nothing we say so.
