ASIC Question

[Boeingdream]

Hello

I am returning back to Australia after a stint overseas and wish to do some remedial training to renew my Instrument rating. I no longer have a valid ASIC and will not renew until after Christmas (Going on holiday) but I wish to complete my recurrence training before that time.

So the question is,

Do I need the ASIC to do my training? Or because I will only be a student the Instructors ASIC will allow me onto airside?

I am only going to be doing training and a test and not acting in command at any point so I do not see why I would need the ASIC.

Any input would be great.

Thank you.
