Smart and Skilled Outcome Change Blank to 85

Does this change apply to me?

If you are reporting government data to NSW Smart and Skilled then you will need to follow these steps.

Learn More? Smart and Skilled (SaS)

What’s changing

Until August 2018, NSW Smart and Skilled had a blank Outcome that was required to be set for future Unit Enrolments. This blank outcome (00 in Wisenet) is no longer allowed and is being replaced by the AVETMISS 8 Outcome 85 – Not yet Started.

How is this change being implemented in Wisenet

  • The NSW Export has been updated in Wisenet to accommodate the required Outcome changes
    • The Export process is unchanged
  • All relevant Resource Articles have been updated to refer to Outcome 85 in place of the Blank Outcome
  • Customers will need to ensure Outcome 85 is used and NOT Outcome 00 (see steps below)

IMPORTANT: Required steps to be actioned by ALL NSW Smart and Skilled Training Providers

  • Effective immediately only use Outcome 85 and NOT Outcome 00
  • Update any existing records from Outcome 00 to Outcome 85 using any Unit Enrolment Update Feature. We recommend using the Bulk Unit Outcome Update feature in Wisenet by following the steps below:

1

  1. Navigate to LRM > Learners > Enrolment Update Wizards > Bulk Unit Outcome Update 
  2. Set the following Fields:
    • Unit Vet Flag – All
    • Contract State* – NSW
    • Enrolment Status*: Select All by clicking and dragging
    • CUOR End Date*: Choose a broad date range to ensure you get all records with 00. Eg. From 01/01/2018 to 01/01/2026

Learn More? How to Bulk Update Unit Outcomes with Enrolment Wizard

2

Select the outcome code you wish to change

  • Outcome AV Code – 00 – Blank Outcome
  • Then click Apply Criteria

3

You should now see a summary of Unit Enrolments that meet your above criteria grouped by Course Offer.

  1. Select ALL of the listed Course Offers
  2. Click on Action Menu
  3. Select Bulk Update Selected Enrolments
    • Ensure you choose to update Outcome = 85

You should no longer have any Unit Enrolments with Outcome 00.

NCVER National Quarterly Reporting

NCVER National Reporting

All Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) need to collect and report AVETMISS data on all accredited training activity.  AVETMISS is a national data standard which ensures the consistency and accuracy of vocational education and training (VET) information and covers the national VET data collections:

  • the National VET Provider Collection
  • the National Apprentice and Trainee Collection
  • the National VET in Schools Collection
  • the National VET Financial Data Collection.
About Quarterly Reporting

While you are still required to do your yearly AVETMISS reporting, all RTOs now have the option to submit data to NCVER quarterly, beginning with the January to March 2018 collection period on all of the nationally recognised training activity delivered by your organisation.

It is optional to do quarterly reporting, however to reduce the hassle and stress associated with end of year reporting, we highly recommend doing your NCVER National reporting quarterly.

Learn More? AVETMISS Fact Sheet

NOTE: This is for National Collection ONLY

The benefits of reporting to NCVER quarterly are:
  • Learners will have their USI Transcripts updated more frequently with nationally recognised training appearing on USI Transcripts around six weeks after each quarterly collection period
  • The USI website will include the latest available quarterly data
  • You can add new data for your most recent quarterly activity and make corrections to previously submitted data if necessary
  • Reduces the end of year reporting stress
How does it impact your AVETMISS Export?

Wisenet will automatically export the required Collection Period data based on the date the Export is ran. Therefore, you are not required to change anything in your export process.

i.e. If you ran an Export on 16th May then Wisenet would auto export the Jan – Jun collection periods for you as the collection period window for Jan – Mar is now closed.

New Collection Periods (Optional but Recommended)

The quarterly collection periods are cumulative, which means:

  • your submission for quarter 1 will only include training activity delivered in quarter 1
  • your submission for quarter 2 must include training activity delivered in quarter 1 and 2
  • your submission for quarter 3 must include training activity delivered in quarter 1, 2 and 3
  • your submission for quarter 4 must include training activity delivered in quarter 1, 2, 3 and 4 (Annual)

The quarterly collection windows open four weeks after the end of the quarter, and remain open for a two week period. The collection periods for 2018 are:

How compliant are your Certificates?

Each time a credential is generated in Wisenet, it is automatically added to a central credential register for audit purposes.

  • With our Bulk option you are not limited to produce credentials for individual course enrolment only.
  • Either Save or Print copies of the Credentials, or do both!
  • Soon you will even have the option to Email Certificates directly to Learner through Wisenet.
  • Have clear visibility of your Credential Status with our Credential Reports – Have they been Requested; Issued; Cancelled
  • Need to Delete a Requested Credentials? The option is there!
  • Need to Revoke an Issued Credential? You can ‘cancel’ it! Is that compliant? Yes it is because it will remain on the register but will be marked as cancelled. This ensures the integrity of your credentials register.
  • And soon to come, you will be able to include QR code for added compliance

Should you use our readily available Credential templates or should you customise your own template?

You can use both.  If this is the first time you are using Credentials in Wisenet, you can start by using the generic template documents we provide and format them as needed. Then once confident with the process you can create your custom templates. We have compiled a number of resources on our Resource Centre to guide you in this process. But if you feel you might need extra assistance, simply contact our Support team.

Here is a quick snapshot of how easy it is to use Credential templates in Wisenet

Credential Type: Statement of Attainment

By using Wisenet Credentials you can:

  • Reduce your risk of non-compliance with automatic credential numbering and credentials register
  • Reduce manual processing through automation and bulk credential creation

Timetables

Class Attendance StatusHow Attendance is now CalculatedLearner App Timetable

What has changed? 

  1. Invited changed to Enrolled
  2. Accepted changed to Attended
  3. Added Absent
  4. Added Medical Leave 
  5. Added Approved Leave

Why did we change this? 

  • Simplifies marking attendance
  • More accurate reporting
  • Will make reading attendance reports easier

What does this mean for you? 

  • Any status that was previously Accepted has been changed to Attended
  • Enrolled is NOT included in % attendance
  • Only status Attended or Absent will now be included in attendance calculations

ACTION REQUIRED!

  • Any status that is ‘Attended’ and 0% attendance and the Class Start Date in the past is now set to Absent
  • Any class where the Class Start Date is in the future the status is set to Enrolled
    • Due to these changes you must update any incorrect ‘Absent’ status to correct value.

These changes were automatically updated to align with new Status Names and reports

For more detailed information see How to Mark or Edit Attendance and Attendance Reports

Due to the changes of Attendance Status the calculation logic has also changed to reflect this.

To discover more see  How Attendance is Calculated

To reflect these changes the Timetable in the Learner App now includes the new statuses. In addition we have included the Venue and Trainer. This will allow the learner to quickly identify where their class is taking place.

Credentials

Credential Register Improvements 

  • Improved the functionality on the page for the Preview and Issue actions
    • Allows you to stay on one page rather than go back and forth. This makes it easier to follow the process
  • Changed the Issue options

    • Includes saving the Credential Number into the Parchment Number field in the Course Enrolment alongside the already stored Qual Issued Flag and Qual Issued Date. This is for AV8 compliance.

Holiday Period

Wisenet is closed from 23rd December and will re-open on the 8th January.

Please ensure you have all of your Support Tickets requested by Wednesday 20th 12pm.

We are committed to provide you with the best support we can and in the most efficient way.  However, please note, Wisenet support staff capacity will be less than usual during the month of December and January due to the holiday period and staff being on leave.  Be mindful when you are submitting a support ticket at the last minute.  Your lack of preparation will not be an urgency for us.  For example, if you submit a support ticket after 4.30pm requesting urgent help with reporting close to, or after the deadline has passed, your support ticket will still go in the queue as a normal ticket with normal response time.

Thank You for your proactiveness!

Celebrating 20 Years!

Wisenet Resources is Live!

We have been busy working on creating the new Wisenet Resources for quite some time and are excited to finally be able to share it with you!  

Here are just some of the improvements you will see:

  • Search and navigation
  • New layout and structure
  • How To’s. Restructured and rewritten articles for easier to follow steps
  • Journeys. These are a guided articles that take you on an entire process through Wisenet.
  • Notices. Keep up to date with latest Wisenet and Industry news.

What does this mean for you?

  • Less time spent learning and more time spent using Wisenet
  • Reduced time spent finding an answer
  • Improved use and knowledge of Wisenet
  • You can focus on the more important things like growing your business.

Still to come

As you can imagine consolidating over 1000 pages takes time. Some of the resources are still linked to our old Help Centre. We appreciate your patience while we move these across. We were just excited and wanted you to start using the new Learning Resources as soon as possible. We are still working on bringing you more:

  • Videos
  • Articles
  • Journeys

What do You need to do?

The old Help Centre will still be available for a few weeks but we suggest you:

  • Watch this video on how to use the new Resources
  • Update any Wisenet Resource bookmarks
  • Let us know what you think by telling us in a Support Ticket. You can call it ‘Wisenet Resources Feedback’

Happy Exploring! 

Clients becoming Learners

You will notice that the tab Clients is now Learners (Clients). We are starting to transition to Learners as it is more inclusive terminology in Vocational Education.

People being trained vary in relationship with the training providers as they can be referred to as: Trainees, apprentices, students, employees any more.

We have chosen the term Learner as it applies to all types and it is also being used more frequently by the governing bodies.

We started to use Learner with the Learner App and we will be continuing to update our resources to reference Learner.

  • Due to this, please start to use Learner in Wisenet Resources when searching for How To’s etc. If you type Student or Client it will still show results however, using Learner will be more accurate.

Improved security for Generated Credentials

  • After a Credential has been generated/issued and has been converted to a PDF the editing features have now been locked.
  • This was added to increase security to prevent any editing of the PDF document.
  • Now only printing is available.
  • To view this see the Security Properties of the issued PDF (not in Wisenet but in the generated PDF). A screen shot of this is shown here.

Client IsActive Option

  • This action allows you to set a Client to be Active or Inactive. You can easily identify which Learner has completed their studies. When marked as No it prevents any changes to be made to that Learner record. This gives you confidence that records cannot be altered for auditing purposes.
  • This is action is not available for Trainers of Guest access
  • You can still reactivate the Learner and set to  Is Active = YES.  
  • You can find this on the Client Profile Page

Australia

eCAF

Last month we released eCAF submission and progression forms. We have continued to improve this feature by:

  • Allowing access to Users and not just Admin.
  • Automatic sync with Learners’ TFN into Wisenet when they submit their eCAF. This will be a huge time saver for your staff.

RAPT

The Course Fee for Western Australia must report the Total Fee and not the Hourly Fee. There is special logic for how this is exported to assist with data entry. If it is not entered in correctly you will have errors in your exports. 

Learn More: Learner Tuition/ Unit Fees

New Zealand

Credit Counts and EFTS

In the Client Unit Enrolment page under Unit Progress Summary we have:

  • Added Credit Counts for easy viewing
  • Included Total Withdrawn or RPL EFTS
  • Improved the Total Remaining EFTS by excluding Withdrawn or RPL from the total

Actual End Date

Added field Actual End Date to the Course Offer > Enrolments Page.

Previously, this displayed the Nominal End Date. Now, this will display the the Actual End Date a Learner has completed.  If the Actual End Date is empty at the Course Enrolment level it will show Nominal.

This allows for greater transparency and understanding of End Dates for enrolments.

Dashboard

Fixed Dashboard counts for the status summary. It will now show all enrolments that are active for current calendar year. Includes:

  • All Learners with an enrolment status of Current, Pending, Enquiry, Code 1 or Code 2.
  • If a Learner has another status not listed above but still has an End Date of this year they will be included in the count.

Learner App

A new update option called Custom is now available for both Learner App and eLearning access.  This allows you to customise and set specific dates for access.

To discover how to do this see How to Set Up Learner Access

Australia

VET Student Loan Updates

Due to the transition from VET Fee Help to VET Student Loans we have added a more options to select VET Student Loans in dropdowns.

eCAF Integration completed and available for Fee Help

Last year Wisenet created one-way integration to allow you to send your eCAF from within Wisenet. Two-way Integration has been completed AND now means you can see the status of your eCAF enrolment from within Wisenet without the hassle of logging into eCAF! We have separated the eCAF’s into Pending and Unprocessed. You can also see why an eCAF is yest to be completed.

To see how you can do this follow the instruction on How to Send Enrolment Details to eCAF.

And Progression forms added!

Progression Forms which are referred to as Student Engagement and Progression is a survey that is periodically sent to the learner and is now a compliance requirement. Instead of logging into eCAF to send the Progression Form you can do it all from Wisenet. To learn more see How to Request VSL Progression Form.

These updates mean you can now do all of this from within Wisenet:

  1. Send Enrolment Details to eCAF
  2. See the status of Enrolment
  3. Send Progression Form
  4. Notified which Progression forms have not been completed

To view this in Wisenet go to click on this link LRM > eCAF/Progressions 

Country and Language dropdown

Previously, there were 1000’s of options to select regarding countries and language choices!  Now, this has been drastically reduced to just over 200 countries and a significantly less language classifications. This allows you to quickly and more easily find the right option.

USI Changes

A new code can now be entered for certain Learners that have an Individual Exemptions and therefore, do not require a USI.

For these Learners you will still however, require a value entered into the USI field.

The following code must be used to indicate this: INDIV

To learn more see the USI website on How to apply for Individual Exemptions and Exemptions from reporting USI

For instructions on how to apply this in Wisenet see No USI Required

Simplify Enrolment

You can now set the Commencing Course ID, Study Reason and Study Mode at the Course Offer to set defaults for enrolments.

New Zealand

New Outcome Code

To create more transparency regarding those Learners that are an Early Withdrawal and not reported to SDR or UIP

Code= W Desc = Early Withdrawal (Not reported to SDR or UIP)

NZ Funding Source Code 31 for SDR

A new Funding Source Code 31 is required for Non-funded confirmed student enrolments. It is best to refer to the specifications from TEC Confirmed Student Enrolments regarding this change.

For more details see Funding Source Code 31 for SDR

June 2017 Release Notes

Purpose

Our main focus for the June release was planning for future releases.  It focused on testing and releasing smaller (behind the scene) features that will assist with larger releases later in the year.  These changes will enable us to make updates and changes more rapidly.

The main impact of our June release will not be seen for a few months. We have been listening to your feedback and have implemented some updates that are explained in more detail below.

Bug Fixes

There are a stack of bug fixes in this release.  If you have logged one, we will contact you personally.

All Countries

The capacity to bulk update Unit Enrolments has increased!

This feature has been increased to allow bulk updates of 25 learners instead of the previous 10.  It allows individual edits on multiple records. Therefore you can complete updates more rapidly across fields.

Check our resources on how to bulk update Unit Enrolments

We have added some new Fields and made changes to an existing Field

  • Title – The Title Field has been added to the Client Profile. This is not compulsory for all but is a requirement for NCVER reporting
  • Next of Kin – New Relationship Field added. Previously this field was only available to nominate local ‘Next of Kin’ now there is the capacity to include’International next of Kin Relationship’
  • Unit Elements – Upon completing all Unit Elements, dates will now default to Unit Enrolment instead of Course Enrolment

Australia

Did you say that I can import my own Scope?

Yes! You heard it right.  You are now able to import your own Scope, except for Short Courses,  directly into Wisenet without logging a ticket.  This saves you time as it provides the information directly from training.gov.au.

Wisenet has resources on how to import your scope.  Simply follow the instructions and if you feel stuck in the process, do not hesitate to search through our learning resources for more help.

Now, before you go ahead and import your own scope, please note that if you deliver Short Courses, you will still need to add your courses manually.  Don’t panic – here are instructions on how to manually add a course.

We have made some changes to Fields

  • AV
    • No more referencing AV6 or AV7.  It now simply says AV to indicate it is an AVETMISS field
  • Start Date
    • Sign Date in the Course Enrolment section is now referred to as Start Date
  • Commitment ID
    • This is now labeled as NSW Commitment/ACT Skilled Capital Individual Contract ID
    • A new field has been added NSW Commitment/ACT Skilled Capital Individual Contract ID Expiry Date

New Zealand

NZQA Export History has been improved

We have improved the filtering on the Result History Export to only show data that is relevant to that particular export.

Changes made to Fields

Some of the Fields referencing Australian requirements have been improved.

EFTS Information has been Added to CUOR

Previously EFTS information was found individually for each Unit Enrolment. There is now a summary of EFTS.

You can Add a Unit Progress Summary on the Client > Unit Enrolments page.  Summary examples below:

  • Total Scheduled EFTS = Sum of EFTS of all CUORs
  • Total Completed EFTS = Sum of EFTS of CUORs with Outcome code 2
  • Total Remaining EFTS = (Total Scheduled EFTS) – (Total Completed EFTS)
  • Percent Complete = ((Total number of CUOR with Outcome code 2) / Total number of CUORs) x 100 (to 2 decimal places)
  • Total Units Completed = Total number of CUORs with Outcome code 2
  • Count of Units = Total number of CUORs
