Isn't there a National Data Standard?
Even with the National data standard (AVETMISS), reporting requirements vary greatly between each State and Territory Training Authority. If you have a funding contract you must report additional data in specific ways to meet your data reporting obligations.
This Help Centre article serves as a brief guideline of key Jurisdictional specifics when dealing with enrolments, so that our Total VET Reporting obligation may be met.
Regardless of the state, funded enrolment information is accessed via the cogwheel icon next to the enrolment
This launches the Advanced Student Editor
Here the Basis, Funded, Traineeship and VET popups allow us to complete specific enrolment details.
Most funded enrolment details are entered within the Funded option, which launches the Funded Training Information panel
Key fields applicable for all states are
- Is this training funded?
- Is this a concession booking?
- Funding Source (National)
- Funding Source Code (State training authority)
Many State and Territory Training Authorities (STAs) require additional data to be entered, or vary the use of common fields, these are described in detail in the section below.
