BSB50920 covers initiating, leading and reporting on quality audits — the skills that move you from audit team member to audit lead and quality manager.
It spans compliance frameworks, managing breaches, risk, project quality and driving continuous improvement across a business or supply chain.
A genuine AQF Level 5 qualification recorded on your USI transcript — the same testamur whether earned by study or RPL, recognised Australia-wide.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is an assessment process — not a course — that converts your existing quality auditing and compliance experience into the nationally recognised BSB50920 Diploma. A qualified assessor compares evidence of what you already do at work against the units of competency. Where your experience meets the standard, you're awarded the qualification without repeating learning you've already gained on the job. Learn more about how RPL works.
Most applicants receive their Diploma of Quality Auditing within four to eight weeks. The timeframe depends mainly on how quickly you can gather evidence — and most auditors already have much of it in audit reports, compliance records and quality documentation. The free assessment takes about two minutes and our team responds within 24–48 hours. There are no terms, classes or exams to wait for.
There are no formal entry requirements. For RPL, you'll typically need around two or more years in auditing, compliance, quality assurance or risk roles — conducting or leading audits, managing compliance frameworks, reporting on quality outcomes, or driving continuous improvement. If you're unsure whether your experience is enough, the free assessment will confirm it quickly and at no cost.

It appears on your USI transcript and is recognised by employers, regulators and industry bodies across every state and territory. A Diploma earned through RPL carries identical standing to one earned through study at TAFE or university.
BSB50920 is made up of 12 units — four core and eight electives. The four core units cover participating in, initiating, leading and reporting on quality audits. The electives span compliance frameworks, managing compliance breaches, business risk, project quality, continuous improvement and related professional skills. You can see the full unit-by-unit breakdown on the BSB50920 course page or on training.gov.au.
The Diploma supports senior roles such as quality auditor, lead auditor, quality assurance manager, compliance officer or manager, quality manager, continuous improvement lead and risk and compliance analyst. Quality auditing skills are sought across manufacturing, healthcare and aged care, government, financial services, mining and construction — anywhere organisations must demonstrate compliance and continuous improvement.
Useful evidence includes audit reports, non-conformance records, compliance checklists, corrective action plans, risk assessments, quality management system documentation, ISO audit records and workplace references. All evidence must be valid, sufficient, authentic and current. You don't need to have everything ready upfront — your assessor provides auditing-specific templates and checklists and guides you through exactly what to supply.
