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.
For consistency with previous questions and due to recent changes in the timing of national reporting requirements, figures for (a) and (b) reflect unvalidated VET enrolment data as at 31 July 2015. Figures for (c) reflect validated VET enrolment data as at 31 March 2015. [see tabled paper no.]
