For registered training organisations (RTOs)

Registered training organisations (RTOs) must regularly submit training data to either:

• the agency responsible for vocational education and training (VET) in their jurisdiction
• National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER).

Your RTO's data must comply with the Australian Vocational Education and Training Management Information Statistical Standard (AVETMISS).

For more information about how to meet national data reporting requirements, go to the Australian Government's Australian Skills Quality Authority website.

How to submit data

All registered training organisations receiving funding from the Department of Industry, Tourism and Trade (DITT) or the Department of Education (DOE) (VET in schools related) must submit training data using the VET provider portal.

If your RTO delivers training in the Northern Territory (NT) to school-aged children (under 19 years of age), but does not receive funding from the NT Government, we also encourage you to submit your training data through the VET provider portal.

In all other cases you may submit your training data directly to NCVER.

For help using the portal, email avetmiss@nt.gov.au.

For more information on AVETMISS reporting, read the RTO fact sheets on the NCVER website.

If your RTO has a VET-related funding contract with the NT Government, but not DITT or DOE, it may have a different reporting agreement.

You should check your contract for details.

When to submit reports

If your RTO is funded by the NT Government, you must submit your data each quarter by the due date below.

You should also use the following resources.

AVETMISS compliant software register

This register lists publicly available, AVETMISS-compliant student management systems and data entry tools.

For more information, go to the AVETMISS compliant software register website.

AVETMISS validation software

This free software validates files to ensure data has been entered in the correct AVETMISS format.

For more information, go to the AVETMISS validation software website.

Unique student identifier requirements

All VET students must have a unique student identifier (USI) number so that they can access their training records and transcripts of their VET records online.

All RTOs must collect, verify and report a student's USI as part of AVETMISS compliant data.
