The main suite, AVETMISS release 6.0, contains 38 variables. It is complemented by two separate but related suites: one for apprentices and trainee data; and one for financial reporting. The AVETMISS 'Standard for New Apprenticeships' (release 5.0) contains 50 variables. In contrast, 'AVETMISS: the Standard for VET Financial Data' (release 1.7) details the terminology, definitions, and reporting formats for the elements needed in financial statements. Besides maintaining and updating the AVETMISS standards, NCVER develops and maintains data validation software for the submission of data to the AVETMISS specifications. NCVER also provides consultancy and support services for AVETMISS users. The AVETMISS suite is maintained and published by NCVER, and is updated on a 3 to 4 year cycle.

(1 October 2008) AVETMISS validation software is a data file validation and reporting system designed for training organisations providing AVETMISS compliant data to NCVER (but is not designed for financial data). Validation ensures that the data being provided to the national database complies with the AVETMISS and ensures comparability within the National collection. The validation software generates errors and warnings resulting from potential data inconsistencies in the files. Document Selection These documents will be presented in a new window.
