The operation of registered training organizations (RTOs) has to be undertaken in such a way that renders itself compliant to both the AQTF and the AVETMISS. Under the AQTF, the national training and education authorities have placed a demand on RTOs that they comply most specifically with the AVETMISS, and they have concrete reasons as to such a demand.
Following are the reasons thus provided for anybody who is interested about starting one's own training company that's focused on providing Vocational Education and Training or VET.
1. The AVETMISS standards are aimed at obtaining the overall national data on VET students. Whatever the underlying purposes for such a collection of national data - and the specific purposes are in fact noble - the act of obtaining an overall national VET students' data is in and of itself never unreasonable. The point is that the national government has the right to collect such information by virtue of it being the brain and the local RTOs being a part of its body of jurisdiction.
2. Strict compliance to AVETMISS formatting is essential for a ready, statistically usable bunch of data from nationally recognized RTOs. This simply reveals one of the underlying purposes in recording and collecting AVETMISS compliant data on VET students. They are to be gathered for statistical purposes and thus the standard AVETMISS formatting needs to be met by the RTOs, especially through the way they employ their student record management systems.
3. A systematized national database on VET student information may then be accessed for future researches and development. This further expounds the wonderful usability of standardized VET student data. Not only does this information answer for a present statistically need; it also provides the national government and any other concerned institution a readily accessible bunch of information on what kinds of students enroll in VET courses, and which specific types of training they are enrolling into.
4. The quality of RTO training and consulting methods can efficiently be placed in check beginning at the implementation of standard enrolment forms and questionnaires. This, apart from the reasons previously mentioned, tells the comprehensive nature of the national government's purpose in demanding AVETMISS compliance. In order to pass AVETMISS validation, RTOs must either strictly implement the use of the recommended formats in the enrolment forms or continue using substandard or modified forms, later translating the data obtained into the AVETMISS format. Of course, the latter option is more wearisome to work on. Those RTOs which from the start take advantage of sticking with the guidelines as they are released by the national training authorities will soon be judged as tending to be faithful in maintaining the quality of the actual training as also outlined in the rest of the points in the AQTF.
