FAQ

The questions we hear most.

Will parents need to install an app?

No. Parents tap an SMS or email link, sign on their phone's browser, and they're done. No app, no account.

Can both parents sign separately?

Yes. Each parent or guardian gets their own link and signs independently. The envelope seals once everyone is done.

Are records retained for ASQA's full period?

Yes. We keep envelopes long-term and provide per-student export so RTOs can satisfy ASQA's 30-year results-retention expectation.
