Funded Training

Smart and Skilled is the NSW funded training programme and Skills First is the Victorian State government programme administered by Skills Victoria. Other states also have funded training programmes which are also supported by onCourse.

These contracts require you to lodge your compliant training files (NAT Files) every few weeks. This is known as progressive or ongoing reporting. You may wish to report even more often in order to receive funding more quickly. Concepts which are common to these funding programmes are:

Commencement
The enrolment is reported with a commitment ID and at least one outcome reported as 70 - Continuing Enrolment. Because onCourse automatically reports 70 when the outcome commences you don’t need to manually change the outcome status. Just ensure the student attendance is marked and onCourse will report the commencement.

Progression
As outcomes are completed (or withdrawn) certain funding will be paid as per your contract. Just keep reporting AVETMISS exports to your funding body and onCourse will ensure the correct progressions of the students are reported.

Completion
Finally, when you create a Certificate in onCourse and all the outcomes are finalised, you’ll be able to receive your final payment.
