Important: Significant changes to mandatory training in Term 1, 2025
The Annual competency check (ACC) is an annual training module that replaces individual mandatory training refreshers. The module is designed to be specific to your role and duties and will take no longer than 1 hour to complete.
Orange tick users who have not completed all mandatory training to reflect a green tick prior to the 6 December 2024 will need to complete all individual modules as current in the new year (taking you more time to complete).
To be eligible for the Annual Competency Check (ACC) in 2025, staff need to have completed all mandatory training modules due in November and December on or before Friday 6 December 2024.
If you have an orange tick right now, this relates to you.
These are the two mandatory training modules that have been recently added by the Department and may be the cause of your orange tick. Please check you have completed:
Code of Ethics and Conduct (PSC) - MT00001 and,
Public Interest Disclosures – reporting serious wrongdoing - NR41807
If you're a casual teacher in New South Wales (NSW) using ClassCover, you've likely noticed a tick symbol next to your name. This tick indicates your verification status with the NSW Department of Education, helping schools quickly identify your eligibility for teaching roles. Understanding what each tick means and how to achieve a green tick can enhance your visibility and increase your chances of being booked.
What Does the Green Tick Mean?
A green tick next to your name signifies that you are fully verified to teach in NSW public schools and approved early childhood centres. This means:
You are approved to teach in NSW.
You have completed all mandatory training through MyPL and e-Safety.
Your details have been successfully matched with the NSW Department of Education's records.
This verification status is visible to both the schools you are currently attached to and those looking to add you to their list.
