Reporting
All vocational education and training (VET) providers who receive funding from the Victorian government must provide statistical data to the department.
Pre-accredited training
All government funded pre-accredited training delivery must be reported quarterly against each milestone, as a contract requirement.
Where possible, Learn Local providers are encouraged to report their delivery monthly through their Student Management System to the Skills Victoria Training System (SVTS).
Data that is not successfully uploaded to SVTS will be deemed as training that has not been delivered.
Data collection assists the Adult, Community and Further Education Board to plan, support and monitor further education and training. Data regarding fee-for-service pre-accredited training delivery can also be updated through SVTS, although this is not mandatory.
Guidelines
The Victorian VET Student Statistical Data Collection Guidelines are the primary reference when reporting data to SVTS. Access these guidelines on the Training data collection page.
The current Pre-accredited Training Data Entry and Reporting Guidelines is available from the Learn Local sector hub located on your Dashboard in the Learn Local secure portal. These guidelines incorporate requirements of the national Australian Vocational Education and Training Management Information Statistical (AVETMIS) Standard.
For more information about submitting your data, visit Training data collection.
Accredited training
All Registered Training Organisations – including those that are community training providers – delivering government-funded accredited training must submit monthly data to the Skills Victoria Training System (SVTS).
The data files that must be submitted are specified in the File Structures section of the VET Student Statistical Collection Guidelines. See Training data collection to access a current version of the guidelines.
Surveys
VET Student Satisfaction Survey
Each year, learners that have enrolled in Learn Local courses are invited to participate in the vocational education and training (VET) Student Satisfaction Survey.
Conducted by an independent research company between March and May, learners are asked about their training experience and outcomes. All learners who are eligible to participate are contacted via an invitation letter, email or phone. Learn Local survey results are published in the ACFE Annual Report each year. See Governance and reporting – Adult, Community and Further Education Board.
