of Guy Pitchford as the Training Manager. Over the past nine months ITS has been
establishing courses, policies and procedures and, despite COVID-19 delays, has
recently completed a rigorous assessment process by the Australian Skills Quality
Authority (ASQA) for registration as a Registered Training Organisation (RTO). It is
expected that ASQA will advise the outcome of this process soon.
As previously advised, ITS WILL NOT be competing with Branches for the delivery of
the SSAA NSW Firearm Safety Training Program.
Once it gains RTO status, ITS will be concentrating on delivering nationally accredited
training courses. ITS will also be developing and delivering a range of associated
non-accredited courses. As the scope of these courses expands, it is proposed that
ITS will offer a "Master Hunter" accreditation which will involve students studying a
range of accredited and non-accredited courses at their own pace.
REGISTRATIONS NOW OPEN
Attached is a flyer seeking registrations for an online training course in Basic
Navigation. We would encourage you to circulate this as widely as possible within
your shooting community.

The first priority of SSAA NSW is the safety of all Members, volunteers and staff. As
the only peak body in NSW with a training organisation, SSAA NSW is committed to
promoting the highest levels of public safety and proud to be the safest shooting body
in the state.
We are excited to offer this new opportunity to our Members and all legal firearms
owners in NSW.
