Classification tables
The National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER) makes all of the critical classification tables you will require for the collection available in electronic format. The classification tables include codes and descriptions/labels for:
- OSCA – Occupation Standard Classification for Australia, 2024, version 1.0
- country
- language
- field of education
- other reference tables used in the national AVETMISS (Australian Vocational Education and Training Management Information Statistical Standard) data collection

Nationally accredited training activity
The government training website provides a search and browses function that allows you to find specific training packages, qualifications, courses, units of competency and registered training organisations (RTO) that are licensed to provide training in Victoria and the other states.
The website contains more information on nationally accredited training packages, qualifications, courses and units.
Further details of course and module master data used by the SVTS are published within Skills Victoria training system
Student management software
Several commercial software vendors provide packages capable of meeting your student administration needs and are compliant with the requirements of the VET statistical collection. Contact vendors directly for more information. Unfortunately, Higher Education and Skills cannot endorse or recommend any particular package.
When assessing the ability of a package to meet your business requirements, also ensure that it can meet Higher Education and Skills’ reporting requirements which include compliance with the Australian Vocational Education and Training Management Information Statistical Standard (AVETMISS).
