MSL — 401 training products

Everything the national training register publishes under codes starting with MSL, current and superseded, qualifications and units together. Each code links to what training.gov.au says about it: status, what it replaced, what replaced it, and whether that replacement is equivalent.

What this list leaves out

Products the register has deleted, cancelled, let lapse or is still re-accrediting. Across the whole register that is 56,180 products; nobody can deliver any of them, so listing them here would be noise. Every one of them still has a page: search for the code and we will read the register live and tell you exactly what it says.

And the one thing no page on this site can show: which RTOs deliver a given product. The national register does not publish that, so we do not have it and we will not estimate it.

This is as far as the register goes. What comes after it, we don't know.

Is any of this sitting on your scope?

The free scope check reads your RTO's live scope from the register and flags every superseded product on it — and every replacement the register calls not equivalent.

Check my scopeSearch all 69,829 products

Background reading: equivalent vs not equivalent, checking a superseded qualification by hand, live scope vs scope history, and the 1,020 of 3,884 RTOs carrying a superseded qualification on live scope.
