(1) Yes.
(2) The policy commenced on 2 November 2009.  It was introduced to ensure that Registered Training Organisations with students on waiting lists commenced training in a timely manner. If the Registered Training Organisation did not commence training within two weeks then the Department could reallocate the places to a different Registered Training Organisation that had students ready to commence training.
