Requirements to Become AVETMISS Compliant
Vocational Education and Training providers follow a national data standard called Australian Vocational Education and Training Management Information Statistical Standard or AVETMISS. If these providers such as registered training organisations use this standard, every available data is exported to the national level. All pertinent data about the students are submitted. Data includes information about students as well the course and activities they are undertaking.
RTOs are now required to become AVETMISS compliant. It started last 2010 when the Australian Quality Training Framework has made it a mandatory requirement. AVETMISS compliant organisations file and submit information about students and their enrolments. There is a student management system that keeps all important information at the time of the student’s enrolment.
There are requirements on how to become AVETMISS compliant. The following are some helpful guidelines:
- RTOs need to have a student records management system to become compliant for AVETMISS. If the administration decides to use the standard, the task and record keeping of data storage is easier and more convenient.
- It is also necessary that the efficiency of the AVETMISS compliance standard be tested. One way of doing this is by exporting data files from the student record management system and then validating the data. Successful validation is possible if there are no errors.
- It is also possible that some RTOs cannot afford to introduce a student record management system but still want to become AVETMISS compliant. There is good news for them because they can be provided with data entry tools that can assist them in becoming compliant.
- The data needs to be submitted to the national VET data collection agency. Only then can the data be deemed compliant for AVETMISS. It should be submitted successfully without errors.
- RTOs also need to comply or meet certain arrangements in accordance to rules set by the state or territory. Cut-off dates should be checked and strictly followed to avoid problems.
