(1) (a) In 2008 State Training Providers delivered 112,092 course enrolments.
(b) In 2008 private registered training organisations delivered 18,211 course enrolments.
(c) In 2008, 21,609 apprenticeship course enrolments were delivered.
(d) In 2008, 13,438 traineeship course enrolments were delivered.
(2) The two data systems are monitoring different things. The Training Record System (TRS) does not monitor course enrolments. The TRS contains information on contracts of training between employers and apprentices or trainees and their current status, such as commenced, cancelled, suspended or completed.
The Australian Vocational Education and Training Management Information Statistical Standard (AVETMISS) data collection contains information on course enrolment figures. These data have been collected in accordance with national protocols which, under current arrangements, only require data to be provided on an annual basis.
However, Western Australiacollects and validates the enrolment data four times per year.
