To work or volunteer in education in South Australia, you need to do mandatory notification training. This is sometimes called RAN-EC. Your RAN-EC training must be kept current.

This information is for all education sector employees.

How to know if your RAN-EC is still current

If you have done RAN-EC training you should have received a certificate. If you completed the appropriate RAN-EC training, the expiry date is printed on that certificate.

If you undertook online update training in 2018 and can’t find your certificate of completion you can log in to Plink and download it. You’ll need to look for your list of completed sessions.

Is it still possible to do a RAN-EC update course if my certificate has expired?

No.

RAN-EC training is run on a 3 year cycle. The current cycle started January 2018. The first time most people do the foundation course it is delivered face-to-face.  Once you have your foundation knowledge, you can stay current by doing an update version of the course online.

In each cycle, the update is only available for the first year. After that, anyone with an expired RAN-EC certificate must do the foundation course.  

Training and certification expiry dates

What happens if your RAN-EC certificate has expired

If your RAN-EC training took place in the previous cycle (2015-2017) and you have not done the 2018-2020 update, your training is now out-of-date. Your RAN-EC certificate has expired.

You must do the RAN-EC foundation course.
