Notes:
The VET enrolment data collection is not designed to support financial year or semester based reporting as each collection point represents a standalone year-to-date snapshot of activity. The Department of Training and Workforce Development only reports enrolment activity at periodic intervals that reflect enrolments recorded from the start of the calendar year.
Figures for 2011, 2012 and 2013 reflect validated VET enrolment data as at 31 July each year. Due to recent changes in the timing of national reporting requirements, figures for 2014 reflect unvalidated VET enrolment data as at 31 July 2014.
Publicly funded refers to all training funded by or through the Department of Training and Workforce Development.
