AVETMISS

The Australian Vocational Education and Training Management Information Statistical Standard (AVETMISS) outlines the format required for the submission of descriptive data about students and their study activities.

Funding Arrangements

Knowing what qualifications are listed for funding contracts, and what threshold amounts are, is vital when looking to secure this type of income stream for your RTO.

Training Packages

Designed to be industry and sector skills specific, Training Packages are an integrated set of nationally endorsed Units of Competency, AQF qualifications and assessment guidelines that outline the expected outcomes of training.

Training Products

Training Products are the items that an RTO lists on its scope of registration. They are what the RTO is registered to deliver, assess and issue AQF documentation for.

Funding

There are a variety of ways RTOs may be funded for the delivery of VET in Australia. Government funding is one avenue for RTO income.

Units of Competency

A Unit of Competency is the smallest component of a Training Package that can be assessed and recognised. It gives a description of the skills and knowledge required to perform effectively to a specific standard in a particular workplace role or function.

Skill Sets and Microcredentials

Skill Sets are a single Unit of Competency or combinations of Units of Competency from an endorsed Training Package, which link to a licensing or regulatory requirement, or a defined industry need or job role. Micro-credentials are small, certification-style courses that focus on a particular area of study to hone proficiency over the shortest possible time.

Core Skills for Work Framework (CSfW)

The CSfW is a framework that describes the non-technical skills and capabilities which are considered essential for successful participation in work.

Registered Training Organisations (RTOs)

A Registered Training Organisation (RTO) is any training provider listed on the national register to provide specific training delivery and/or assessment services in VET.

Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) 2015

These Standards are the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2015. These Standards form part of the VET Quality Framework, a system which ensures the integrity of nationally recognised qualifications. RTOs are required to comply with these Standards.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

The aim of RPL is to formally recognise existing competencies without having to go through the complete training process.

Delivery Basics

‘Delivery Basics’ gives some short, sharp explanations relating to training, assessment, and associated components – including some of the stipulations of the Standards for RTOs 2015.
