    cost simple student management reporting software capable of reporting

    AVETMISS 6.0 output files. This software comes without the burden of ongoing

    costs and monthly licensing or rental. You pay once, and you own for life.

    Now you can save your money, time, energy, and resources by not purchasing

    software that may disrupt your current working operations and systems. Simply

    purchase AVETMISS Easy 2010, and you can comply easily with your AQTF 2010

    reporting requirements, as our software does not interfere with your business.

    Now has never been a better time to get serious about your State Training

    Agencies reporting requirements. The output files have been found to be

    compliant to the QLD standards.

  • V 4.0 Updated December 2011 Page 6 of 71

    For those of you who have a website, there is a webENROL version which allows

    you to capture client data from your own site without the need to re-enter this

    data. AVETMISS Easy 2010 is a unique, simple, and easy to use physical

    standalone software package designed to now cater for both funded and fee-for-

    service training. Originally the software was only offered to non-funded RTO's,

    however now funded RTO's also can use this software to satisfy their QLD RTO

    reporting requirements.

    We also have a dedicated data services team that can assist with data imports or

    special projects you may have. Feel free to visit our website and compare the

    benefits of purchasing this marvellous software tool.

    SOME FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    Does your software import our existing data?

    There is no one size fits all software that is able to import data from every

    working system that does not involve your manual intervention.

    There would be far too many combinations of student systems out there, most of

    them employing partially manual methods and different formats. Our system

    however allows you to 'easily' enter this data when needed for the sole purpose

    of producing AVETMISS files. We also offer 1 hour of free programming and data

    manipulation services to small RTO's to assist them in importing from their own

    systems when they are required to report their non-funded data to their

    registering body. In our testing, we have been able to enter the full student

    activity of 150 students in 3 hours.

    What is the webENROL component, and how does it work?

    The "AVETMISS Easy" windows software is the same for both versions

    (webENROL and standard). Essentially both are physical software applications

    that you can install on unlimited machines within your organisation.

    The webENROL addition is a separate HTML/JavaScript file that you place on your

    own web server (compatible with PHP or ASP) that asks the correct enrolment

    questions to ensure you gather AVETMISS compliant data on each new client. It

    then "POSTS" the client information securely to our server to capture the data,

    and then reposts it back to your server to continue with your online enrolment

    process. We essentially piggy-back the posting process of data to enable us to

    take a copy of the data and email it on to you for easy importing directly into

    AVETMISS Easy removing the need for you to manually re-enter this

    information when it comes time for you to report.

  • V 4.0 Updated December 2011 Page 7 of 71

    Does the software take care of all of my Quality Indicator reporting

    across the RTO?

    There is no one size fits all software that is able to automate your entire Quality

    Indicator reporting requirements that does not involve your manual intervention.

    There is always work required from the RTO to manipulate the data or upload it

    into the correct government system. The reason for this is that every registering

    body has their own system (all free) to facilitate the reporting of this information.

    The individual states supply very good technical support on these systems as

    well, and all the systems differ by state. Quality Indicator reporting is not

    AVETMISS reporting, it is a separate requirement under AQTF.

    Why is AVETMISS Easy so affordable?

    We believe in the concept that if you combine simplicity with functionality you can

    create efficiency. Our software is clean, simple and functional. It is intentionally

    not a full scale student management system; instead it is an operational

    AVETMISS reporting student database tool. We believe that RTOs should not have

    to pay high fees on a yearly basis for features they may not need nor use. There

    are some fantastic full scale student management systems on the market,

    however we believe that some RTOs may already have a functional, working and

    efficient way of running their business - and may just be looking for a way to

    report to government.

    4. CORSKILL

    Corskill Management Systems Systems that have been designed specifically

    for RTOs in the VET sector that want a system that can run on a Single

    Workstation or across a Local Area Network (LAN).

    CORSKILL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM TMS VERSION

    Getting your organisation "Started" with the TMS Version

    CORSKILL Australia has designed a "Starter Pack" for RTOs who are just

    starting out or whose business does not require advanced management

    functionality at this stage.

    The "Starter Pack" is available as either a Single Workstation installation or a

    Network System. It is fully AVETMISS compliant and will assist your organisation

    in meeting its AQTF obligations.

    The "Starter Pack" can be upgraded to the full functionality of the CORSKILL

    Management System - Enterprise Version or even our web based CORSKILL

    Centre at any time in the future.

    The "Starter Pack" includes the CORSKILL Management System - TMS

    Version and is competitively priced. It is your choice as to whether or not you

    take up a subscription to our annual Support/Upgrade agreement.

    The "Starter Pack" will help you with:

    Trainee Management including, enrolment, progress tracking and

    reporting

    AVETMISS reporting, and if required

    Progress claim submission and reconciliation if your organisation has any

    contracts with a State Training Authority

    ANNUAL SUPPORT AGREEMENTS

    One of the major benefits of being a subscriber to the Support Agreement

    program is that you will have access to upgrades to the CORSKILL Management

    System brought about by changes to the AVETMISS standard.

  • V 4.0 Updated December 2011 Page 16 of 71

    USER TRAINING

    It is recommended that you invest in at least one day of training for the staff

    that will be setting up and using the CORSKILL Management System.

    CORSKILL Australia is pleased to introduce to you the CORSKILL Management

    System Enterprise Version.

    The CORSKILL Management System Enterprise Version is the result of our

    efforts to provide Registered Training Organisations with a system that will

    increase their efficiency when it comes to the management and administration of

    their trainees. We are convinced that if implemented correctly and integrated into

    the operating systems of a Registered Training Organisation the CORSKILL

    Management System Enterprise Version will reduce the operating costs of the

    record keeping associated with the conduct of any training program.

    BENEFITS OF THE CORSKILL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ENTERPRISE

    VERSION

    Save time and money in the management and administration of a

    trainees progress throughout their program of training

    Simplify the process associated with becoming AQTF compliant

    FEATURES OF THE CORSKILL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ENTERPRISE

    VERSION

    Generate training plans that are not only AQTF compliant but also meet

    the contractual requirements of User Choice and Competitive Purchasing

    It is a requirement of the AQTF that a RTO negotiates a training plan with each

    trainee at the time of enrolment. This requirement is taken further in the case of

    those Registered Training Organisations that train apprentices and or registered

    trainees. Consequently the CORSKILL Management System Enterprise Version

    has been designed to assist Registered Training Organisations in the production

    of training plans at the time of enrolment.

    ADMINISTERING TRAINEES AND OR APPRENTICES THAT HAVE MORE

    THAN ONE CONTRACT OF TRAINING REGISTRATION NUMBERS

    It is now common for a single registered trainee and or apprentice to enter into

    several contracts of training during their Traineeship and or Apprenticeship.

    Consequently the CORSKILL Management System Enterprise Version now

    makes it possible for an RTO to track an individual trainee and or Apprentices

    progress through several contracts of training by using the one consolidated

    training history record.

  • V 4.0 Updated December 2011 Page 17 of 71

    FLEXIBILITY IN THE CUSTOMISATION OF THE OFFERING OF ANY

    QUALIFICATION

    The CORSKILL Management System has always managed the customisation of

    the various offerings of the one Qualification for different purposes through the

    creation of separate Default Profiles (Template Training Plans) for each individual

    offering of a particular qualification.

    TRACKING OF TRAINEE PROGRESS AT THE ASSESSMENT ITEM LEVEL

    The CORSKILL Management System has always been able to track a trainees

    progress through their training program at the assessment item level. However

    the new functionality associated with the CORSKILL Management System

    Enterprise Version now enables a RTO to be able to use this functionality more

    effectively.

    AVETMISS AND STATE TRAINING AUTHORITY REPORTING FOR ALL

    STATES

    The CORSKILL Management System Enterprise Version can be used in all States

    and or Territories in Australia. The system has been designed to output the files

    required by each State and Territory Training Authority for the purpose of

    claiming progress claims and or AVETMISS reporting.

    UPGRADE TO CORSKILL CENTRE

    CORSKILL Management System Enterprise Version is in itself a very

    sophisticated approach to the management and administration of trainees.

    However we do realise that as Registered Training Organisations grow and

    develop so does their needs in relation to the management and administration of

    trainees. Consequently CORSKILL Australia has also developed the CORSKILL

    Centre.

    The CORSKILL Centre is an Internet based trainee management system and it

    uses the same database as the CORSKILL Management System Enterprise

    Version. Consequently as the needs of a Registered Training Organisation change

    they can upgrade at any time from the CORSKILL Management System

    Enterprise Version to the Internet based CORSKILL Centre with little or no

    difficulty.

    9. ONCOURSE

    OnCourse the comprehensive marketing and enrolment system for short course

    providers.

    FLEXIBLE ENROLMENT ENGINE

    Imagine processing multiple enrolments from a single payer, switching between

    classes, enrolments and other records, sending and receiving automated

    confirmations, immediate credit card confirmation for payments, real time online

    enrolments, dragging and dropping data between windowsall this and more

    COMMUNICATION & SALES TOOLS

    An integrated website means your content is always up to date. With built in

    email and SMS functionality you can contact a class or your entire student body

    at the click of a button. Self service mailing lists and waiting lists assist you in

    managing pre-sales enquiries and promotional tools give you the power of just-

    in-time marketing all this and more

    ADVANCED RESOURCE SCHEDULING

    Powerful timetables for all your scheduling needs, with live feeds available for

    tutors and students to import into their personal calendars. View all scheduled

    programs at a glance, budget your costs and income to determine class viability,

    modify rooms, times or tutors for a single class session all this and more

    RTO MANAGEMENT TOOLS

    Dont let government reporting get you down! Rest assured onCourse will handle

    your AVETMISS, CCQI, ePayments and AQTF advertising and certification

    requirements. Dont need any of this stuff? Not a worry onCourse was designed

    for general course delivery too all this and more

    USING ONCOURSE

    In onCourse, you can open and work with a range of windows simultaneously,

    with the added extra of drag and drop to bring data between windows. For

    example, if you want to assign a tutor to a class, you can type in their name (and

    the clairvoyant field will select it from the list) or you can drag them from the

    tutor window. With menus, quick key commands, and links to related pages

    within windows, you can always move between data quickly and efficiently.

    Layout your database with the windows you most commonly use, where you want

  • V 4.0 Updated December 2011 Page 32 of 71

    them, at a size that is convenient for you and onCourse remembers where you

    left them for the next time you open the program.

    PHONE, MAIL, COUNTER & INTERNET ENROLMENTS ARE A BREEZE IN

    ONCOURSE

    Taking enrolments quickly and easily is at the core of ish onCourse. Developed in

    conjunction with colleges who process tens of thousands of enrolments per year,

    the enrolment engine makes it easy to satisfy customers on the phone or in

    person by giving them information quickly. Using clairvoyance means you can

    quickly search for and enrol past students plus look up your courses and classes

    without having to remember internal codes or dates. If a student is new to your

    college, you can also create a new student record for them from this screen.

    The Quick Enroll screen allows the operator to enter all the relevant information

    in one view:

    find or add one or more students

    edit student details if they are incorrect or incomplete

    find one or more courses

    display the range of dates, locations and availability for each course

    open the class detail screen to confirm class particulars with the student

    enrol the selected students in the courses in any combination

    allows for discounts and promotional codes

    take the payment

    process the credit card directly throughish onCourse through a merchant

    gateway

    onCourse does not store the students full credit card number. This is

    very important in order to achieve accreditation with banks and credit

    card acquirers

    If you do have ongoing students, there are ways to set up periodic

    payment schedules directly within the banking gateway

    The system manages the invoicing in the background, sends confirmations to

    students and an invoice to the payer automatically by email. Naturally students

    are prevented from enrolling in the same course twice and strict maximum

    enrolment numbers are enforced. Credit card payments are processed

    automatically in real time, however if your internet connection is down the

    operator is given a choice to queue the payment for later (automatic) processing.

    All this functionality integrates seamlessly with your ish onCourse website.

    Enrolments, payments and students are synchronised continually between ish

    onCourse and your website.

  • V 4.0 Updated December 2011 Page 33 of 71

    CAN YOU TAKE ENROLMENTS 24/7?

    OnCourse can! Now your courses and classes are advertised online, and your

    onCourse website updates itself from the changes you make to your database,

    students can access all your course information including the number of places

    available, any time of the day or night. So whenever they find the class for them

    and are ready to enrol, you are ready to take their payment.

    Students visiting your website will be able to enrol and create a student account

    even if they are first time customers. Students who are returning customers will

    only need to enter their name and email address to enrol again the website will

    cross check their details with the database so you dont end up with duplicate

    students.

    Our recent analysis of onCourse enrolments found 37% of enrolments happen

    outside office hours. Are these enrolments you can afford to miss?

    CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS

    By integrating a payment gateway, ish onCourse will process credit card

    payments in near real time over an encrypted internet connection. Special

    queuing systems operate to process any backlog should your internet connection

    go down for a time. We are able to push payments into any merchant account

    with any Australian bank.

    By automatically processing not only web payments but also counter, mail and

    phone payments, ish onCourse creates a unified payment system, immediate

    feedback for any data entry errors and almost no room for error or fraud.

    Once the enrolment has been accepted, a tax invoice is automatically emailed to

    the paying student and all students are sent enrolment confirmation details. Of

    course you can customise these emails in any way you like to suit your needs.

    OFFICE VS ONLINE ENROLMENTS

    If students dont have web access or dont wish to pay by credit card, they can

    still contact your staff and have their enrolment processed manually.

    Entering enrolments in ish onCourse is extremely easy for even untrained staff.

    Firstly you add one or more students to the enrolment. Ish onCourse

    automatically checks to see if those students already exist to avoid duplicates.

    Then, as you locate the classes for these students, you are given feedback about

  • V 4.0 Updated December 2011 Page 34 of 71

    available places, prices, locations and the depth of information about the class.

    Clear user interfaces allow the operator to quickly scan various classes to find the

    appropriate places for the student.

    Special validation is in place to ensure your office staff and a student enrolling

    online cant simultaneously book the last place in a class.

    STUDENT MANAGEMENT

    Student self service.

    All students in onCourse who provide you with an email address are provided with

    a personalised log in to your web portal.

    Once logged in, students can update their contact details, view their past

    enrolments and the outcomes of their accredited courses a d subscribe to a

    calendar feed with all their class session details. They are also able to add or

    remove themselves from any course waiting lists or mailing lists.

    If they forget their password, they can have it emailed to them direct from your

    website.

    With real time online enrolments, any student who has enrolled at your college

    previously only needs to provide their name and email address to re-enrol. They

    do not need to log in and can not see any other contact details at enrolment. This

    way, students can enrol themselves and a friend in a single transaction, and if

    both the student and friend are a past students of your college they do not need

    to know all the contact details for their friend, nor can any student access another

    students contact details. Any new student can enter their contact details during

    enrolment. Our aim is to make the enrolment process as simple as possible while

    ensuring the privacy and security of your students.

    Manage your most valuable asset with tools for marketing, AVETMISS, sales and

    enrolment tracking.

    Students are the core of your business. Your student list is probably your most

    valuable asset, so you need to keep on top of it. Ish onCourse ensures that data

    is validated in real time during entry and that you have a multitude of ways to

    access your students.

  • V 4.0 Updated December 2011 Page 35 of 71

    An advanced de-duplication mechanism allows you to quickly merge records you

    know belong to the same student, without losing valuable data.

    Multi-part query functions and tagging options assist you in locating and working

    with large groups of people for marketing or management purposes.

    AVETMISS

    Boring statistics reporting made less boring.

    AVETMISS is a pretty dull topic. Wouldnt you rather be reading about exciting

    things like student marketing or tutor management? Ish onCourse just works:

    press one button and out will come all the files ready to be sent to your favourite

    government authority. There, thats about all you need to know.

    Ish takes responsibility for keeping ish onCourse updated to work with whatever

    standards are current at the time. We ensure that you dont have to fudge your

    precious data to make it export correctly. All of NCVERs fun little rules (students

    cant be over 95 years old or work full time and still be at school, students cant

    study the same module twice in one year, etc) are taken care of for you. So you

    dont have to mess with your precious data to keep the authorities happy.

    Ish onCourse comes with all training packages, qualifications, accredited courses,

    units of competency and modules built-it. This means it is very easy to set up

    your VET courses. All this data is updated automatically so you dont have to

    check that the Field of Education ID or spelling of each Unit of Competency is

    correct its NTIS data at your fingertips.

    Most importantly of all, weve written ish onCourse to work the way colleges work,

    not to force you to operate a data collection business for the government and

    somehow fit a marketing and enrolment system around that. AVETMISS is

    certainly there, but we try to make it as invisible as possible while still reporting

    everything that is required.

    CCQI REPORTING

    The new AQTF 2007 requirement Competency Completion Quality Indicator

    report is already built in to onCourse, so when your RTO is asked to report your

    annual enrolment and completion statistics come 2009/2010 you can press a

    button and hand them over. Easy as.

  • V 4.0 Updated December 2011 Page 36 of 71

    AQTF COMPLIANCE

    Integrated NTIS database. OnCourse has built in Qualifications, Accredited

    Courses, Units of Competency and module detail, downloaded from NTIS. This

    ensures that you have the most up to date competency names and codes to

    select from, which prevents time wasting typos on certificates and advertising

    materials. Administrators can select both the Qualifications and Units approved

    for delivery at your College, adding another level of quality control to your course

    development process.

    CERTIFICATES & TRANSCRIPTS

    AQF compliant Statements of Attainment, Qualifications and Transcripts are

    available in onCourse, in conjunction with certificates of attendance for students

    completing non-accredited training programs. All created certificates are saved

    and searchable for future record checks or re-issuing.

    AVETMISS & CCQI

    With the focus in AQTF 2007 on quality indicators, including competency

    completion rates, the ability to generate accurate AVETMISS records (even if you

    are not currently required to submit this data) will assist you in providing highly

    detailed evidence to your STA of your classes delivered and qualifications

    awarded.

    NSW TRAINING MARKET EPAYMENTS COMPLIANCE

    For RTOs delivering SSP and/or ATTP programs, you must be able to export and

    lodge a modified set of AVETMISS standards to receive your program funding.

    OnCourse makes it easy to lodge the various staged payments, without the need

    for you to make changes to your data to ensure both compliance with both the

    ePayment system and normal AVETMISS standards.

    TUTOR MANAGEMENT

    With centralised tutor management, you can set up tutor contact details, link

    tutors to classes, and contact them by email or SMS. However, you can choose to

    go much further by attaching files such as resumes and scanned qualifications to

    their staff records, plus linking them to qualifications and units they are approved

    to train and/or assess at your college, allowing you to generate up-to-date tutor

    matrices at the click of a button. As an administrator, should you choose to turn

    on scheduling restrictions, you can add an additional dimension of quality control

    by ensuring only tutors approved to train or assess a particular unit are able to be

    linked classes that contain that unit.

  • V 4.0 Updated December 2011 Page 37 of 71

    STUDENT SURVEYS

    built to keep on running even if individual computers or even if servers crash.

    needed. Our software is accessible anywhere, anytime and can even be

    information online.

    RTOmanager meets all the demands of a busy RTO, saving time and cost in

    you consider the total cost of ownership - we are, without doubt, the market

    leaders.

    Of course, RTOmanager meets AQTF/VQF requirements as well as CRICOS,

    AVETMISS and other reporting standards that you need to comply with. It

    14. TED (TRAINEE ENROLMENTS DATABASE)

    TED

    Ted is designed as a simple, no frills, database that meets the AVETMISS

    reporting rules for all states in Australia. Ted can also create AQTF Competency

    Completion reports that can be imported into the Competency Completion Online

    System.

    While you enter data into Ted it validates each entry against the AVETMISS rules,

    giving you immediate feedback, this ensures you have the least number of errors

    returned from the state government when you submit the AVETMISS files.

    Ted has a limited number of facilities to aid you in managing large numbers of

    trainees. These facilities make it easier to find trainees, print groups of trainees

    and bulk enrol multiple trainees.

    The facilities include:

    Setting trainees as active or archived, lists and reports will by default

    only list the active trainees.

    Enrolments can be labelled with a Course Program. This can represent

    anything you like. For example: classes, contracts, regions...

    Details of Training Package Qualifications and Units of Competency from NTIS are

    provided as part of Ted. Searching and importing these details saves you time

    minimising the amount of typing you need to do. It is made a simple as searching

    for the Qualification/Units you need and filling in the Nominal Hours for each Unit

    of Competency.

    If you have your own internal courses or courses not provided as part of the

    Training Package data, you can manually enter your own Course and Module

    details.

    Ted has a limited number of reports that include:

    Individual Enrolment Summary including enrolments dates and results.

    List of Trainees in Course

    List of Trainees who have completed Course

    List of Trainees in Module

    List of Trainees competent in Module

    List of Trainees at Location

    Mail Merge List. This can be used as the mail merge source for Word so

    you can print letters or labels.

  • V 4.0 Updated December 2011 Page 51 of 71

    All of the reports in Ted are shown in Microsoft Word so you have the ability to

    save them or adjusting them before printing.

    ICARE

    Icare is a Student Management System designed that is AVETMISS compliant.

    Icare can also create AQTF Competency Completion reports that can be imported

    into the Competency Completion Online System.

    While you enter data into Icare it validates each entry against the AVETMISS

    rules, giving you immediate feedback, this ensures you have the least number of

    errors returned from the state government when you submit the AVETMISS files.

    Icare has various facilities to aid you in managing large numbers of trainees.

    These facilities make it easier to find trainees, print groups of trainees, and bulk

    enrol multiple trainees.

    The facilities include:

    Setting trainees as active or archived. Lists and reports will by default

    only list the active trainees.

    You can specify the employer for each trainee, when printing you can

    elect to only print trainees from the one employer.

    Groups of trainees can be made and labelled. These groups can

    represent anything you like. For example: classes, regions, trainees

    eligible for the next graduation event.

    Details of Training Package Qualifications and Units of Competency from NTIS are

    provided as part of Icare. Searching and importing these details saves you time

    minimising the amount of typing you need to do. It is made a simple as searching

    for the Qualification/Units you need and filling in the Nominal Hours for each Unit

    of Competency.

    If you have your own internal courses or courses not provided as part of the

    Training Package data, you can manually enter your own Course and Module

    details.

    If you have the need to record and maintain information that Icare does not have

    a built-in screen for then you can customize Icare to include additional screens

    and fields. This customization can be done yourself or with help and advice from

    support staff at Omniscient Australia.

  • V 4.0 Updated December 2011 Page 52 of 71

    Two types of reports are available in Icare. The first type of reports is built into

    Icare and has a specific purpose. The second type of report you can design

    yourself in Microsoft Word or some other RTF compliant word processor. There

    are many built-in reports in Icare that will be useful to your organisation. They

    often have configuration options to allow you to make the report best meet your

    needs.

    The Report Wizard is the section of Icare that allows you to design your own

    reports. You create your reports using a word processor, this means you can

    apply the full flexibility of formatting/fonts/logos to each report you design. The

    reports are designed in a similar way to Mail Merge documents that you may be

    familiar with, the Report Wizard extends on the mail merge concept allowing you

    to create more complex documents such as a letter to the trainee listing the

    modules they have enrolled in.

    The best use of the Report Wizard is for your Certificates and Statements of

    Attainment, it gives you the flexibility to format these reports in your own way

    rather than being dictated by a predefine format in the system.

    Reports designed in the Report Wizard have full access to any additional screens

    and fields you have designed into your system.
