52 Approval of training providers

(1) A registered training organisation may apply to the Authority to be approved as a training provider for the purposes of clause 51.

(1A) An application under subclause (1) must be accompanied by a fee of $995.

(2) The Authority may, after considering an application for approval:

(a) grant the application, or

(b) refuse the application.

(3) The Authority may impose conditions on an approval.

(4) In addition to any conditions imposed by the Authority on an approval, it is a condition of an approval that any person conducting the approved training course under the approval must:

(a) hold a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment awarded by a registered training organisation, or have such other qualification as the Authority considers to be equivalent, and

(b) have at least 3 years experience as the holder of a managerial or supervisory position in a hotel or registered club (being a position with duties in relation to the conduct of gaming machine activities), or have such other experience as the Authority considers to be equivalent.

(4A) An approval under this clause is also subject to the following conditions:

(a) the approved training provider must issue each person who successfully completes an approved training course conducted by the training provider with a certificate (a "recognised RCG certificate") that has been provided by the Authority to the training provider,

(b) the approved training provider must pay the Authority a fee of $15 for each recognised RCG certificate provided by the Authority to the training provider.

(5) If the Authority grants an approval, it must issue the applicant with a written approval that sets out any conditions to which the approval is subject.

(6) If the Authority refuses an application for approval, it must give notice of the refusal in writing to the applicant setting out the reasons for the refusal.

(7) The Authority may vary any condition imposed by the Authority on an approval under this clause, or suspend or cancel such an approval, but only after giving the holder of the approval an opportunity to make submissions.

(8) However, an opportunity to make submissions is not required to be given if the registered training organisation concerned no longer employs or engages a person who has the qualifications and experience referred to in subclause (4).

(9) A variation of the conditions of, or the suspension or cancellation of, an approval under this clause:

(a) must be by notice in writing, and

(b) must be served on the person to whom the approval relates, and

(c) takes effect on the day on which the notice is served or on a later day specified in the notice.

(10) An approval under this clause does not have effect while it is suspended.

(10A) An approval under this clause may be renewed on application to the Authority and payment of a fee of $550.

(10B) Unless it is sooner cancelled or is renewed, an approval under this clause ceases to have effect:

(a) on 30 June 2009 in the case of an approval granted before that date (including an approval granted before the commencement of this subclause), or

(b) on 30 June following the date on which it is granted or renewed.

(11) In this clause, "registered training organisation" has the same meaning as in the Vocational Education and Training Act 2005 .
