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
ClassCover has a direct integration with the NSW Department of Education, displaying a tick on the profile of teachers in that state to signify whether they are verified to teach. This saves time for both teachers and schools, allowing both sides to verify at a glance that a teacher is accredited, approved to teach, and has completed all required training.
If you see a green tick next to your name on your teacher profile, this means you are fully verified to teach in NSW. You have been approved to teach and have completed all your mandatory training.

How Do You Get a Green Tick?
To continue being booked by schools as a casual relief teacher, it’s important to aim to maintain a green tick status on your profile. To receive the green tick (100% verified status), ensure that:
You are approved to teach in NSW and have completed all mandatory training through MyPL and e-Safety.
Log in to your ClassCover profile and provide the required details, such as your NESA ID and Date of Birth, to send to the NSW Department of Education for verification.
Submit the information to complete the process.
What's Next?
Once you have the green tick, there’s nothing more you need to do – just ensure that you are maintaining your accreditation. Keep your profile up to date and continue meeting the necessary requirements.
