AusTriathlon has three accreditation levels:
- Level 1, Local Technical Official (LTO): covers the National Officiating pathway, general rules, warnings and penalties, protests and appeals and workplace safety, followed by a practical Module 10.
- Level 2, Regional Technical Official (RTO): covers self-management, risk management, managing people and event administration, plus a face-to-face workshop.
- Level 3, Australian Technical Official (ATO): covers leadership, advanced stakeholder management, large-scale event risk management and a face-to-face workshop on critical thinking in race scenarios.
To get started, enrol in the course for your level through the Australian Sport Learning Centre (ASLC), where learning is recorded. Complete the required modules (including Sport Integrity Australia and World Triathlon units, some on external learning portals) and complete a Field of Play assessment at an event.
