Interim certificate consists of 2 pages.
- Page 1 – of the Interim is ONLY valid for 90 days which allows you to legally work without a competency card up until the expiry date.
Warning: If page 1 has expired and you have not received your card, you cannot work until you have your card unless you have a Digital ID available from Service NSW
- Page 2 – Valid for 5 years from the day you sat your course meaning you can still apply even if 1st page has expired.
The second page is used for applying for the photo competency card at any Service NSW outlet where they will scan the bar code, check your 100 points of ID and then take a photo.
