What Is AVETMISS Compliance?

AVETMISS compliance is following the recommendations of the Australian Vocational Education and Training Management Information Statistical Standard for vocational education and training. Based on AVETMISS, all RTOs need to comply with a suitable student records management system that can store important student data as well as export these data according to the AVETMISS standard.

It is very important to gather all required information from students to fully evaluate the standards or the quality of various RTOs. From students' personal information to information about the training organization where he has earned his training as well as the outcome of his training must all be included in his file. This data is very important in the evaluation of various training organizations.

For a student or an employer, it's important to determine compliance of an RTO to export AVETMISS data files from their student management system. The easiest way to do this is to use free software that is provided by NCVER, a system that keeps all the records of students or trainees. The software checks the data entered in the correct format and according to the rules provided by the AVETMISS standard. You can use this free software online from http://www.ncver.edu.au/avetmiss/21058.html.

When the data entered passes the software, this means that the student data management system used is compliant to AVETMISS standard. Here are steps to use this software:

1) Access the latest AVETMISS validation patch from the hyperlink provided.

2) Click on VALIDATE to check for compliance. Validation is usually done in two stages; not all files are highlighted. It will just take a few seconds to validate data.

3) After the validation has been completed, you may click on CLOSE.

You may also use this program to import data, check for errors, fix errors and encrypting. You must need to set up this system before you can actually do all these; if you are not sure if you are using the most up to date AVETMISS validation software then you may subscribe to compliance or support email so that you will get the latest information and classification. You may also contact AVETMISS support.

All of these may sound very overwhelming especially for a small to medium scale training company and the best way to get the most out of AVETMISS compliance is to trust a company that has been working with various training providers to cope up with AQTF and AVETMISS standards.
