If refresher training (or repeat training if the course is amended due to legislative or other changes) is completed before the renewal date, does that re-start the 3 or 5 year time period for the life of that course?

What evidence of induction training will be needed for a long-standing owner / operator who may have covered this training many years ago?

Does evidence of induction training need to be submitted with the registration form?
An induction is provided by an employer to inform a new staff member of operational and procedural requirements.
