How do I become accredited as a Club Equipment Auditor?
AS members can accredit by registering and completing the free 'Equipment Auditor - Club' online e-learning course. This course can be found under the Race Officials tile after logging into the Australian Sailing Learning Centre via your account.

For re-accreditation, Equipment Auditors are required to complete the following actions:
- NEA: Submit a National Re-accreditation Application Form
- CEA: Submit the Club Equipment Auditor re-accreditation form and acknowledge to be up to date with the Australian Sailing Racing Rules of Sailing.
What is the qualification process?
Upon successfully completing the accreditation or re-accreditation process, Australian Sailing will issue you with the relevant Equipment Auditor qualification. The duration of appointment shall be not more than four years from the qualification grant date.
