So you thought you had some more breathing space, and you don’t.
Mandatory ‘Total VET Activity’ data collection and reporting by all registered training organisations (RTOs) to commence from 2014.
What do you need to do?
- Check you have an AVETMISS complaint enrolment form? (albeit, if you have been working with me, I would have told you months ago to start using it!)
- Start using it immediately (if you aren’t already)
- Check if your student management system has the fields to hold the required data.
- Make sure your policies and procedures reflect the need to collect full Australian Vocational Education and Training Management Information Statistical Standard (AVETMISS) compliant records from your clients, for all training activity conducted from 1 January 2014.
- In early 2015 you will be required to report this data to the National VET Provider Collection—managed by the National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER)—in early 2015.
