    • government-funded private registered training organisations
    • schools funded through government allocations for VET
    • all other Commonwealth and state recurrent and specific-purpose funded VET, regardless of the location of the training organisation.

Each state and territory collates data from their training providers on a student, course and module/unit of competency basis. This data is compiled into AVETMISS format and validated by each training organisation before being submitted to NCVER. The data is then further validated and quality checked for inconsistencies before it is used for the production of national and state/territory reports.
