Subject – AVETMISS Settings

Subjects > Subjects Entry Burger Menu > AVETMISS Settings

Colleges set up AVETMISS (Australian Vocational Education and Training Management Information Statistical Standard) settings for subjects to ensure compliance with the national data reporting requirements for vocational education and training in Australia. AVETMISS is a standard framework that governs the collection, reporting, and analysis of data related to vocational education and training activities.

By setting up AVETMISS settings for subjects, you can accurately capture and report data on student enrolments, completions, qualifications, and other relevant information.

When you access the AVETMISS Settings option, it will open the Subject AVETMISS screen. This screen allows you to input and manage the AVETMISS details for the subjects. Within the Subject AVETMISS screen, you can add the necessary AVETMISS information for each subject individually.

IMPORTANT – It is crucial to update the AVETMISS settings for subjects before conducting an AVETMISS export. Failure to update these settings in the system can result in errors during the AVETMISS submission process. The AVETMISS data, including subject details, is exported into the NAT00060 file format, which is used for reporting vocational education and training data.
