The Units of Study function is designed specifically for Fee Help reporting.
For each VSL Eligible Course on your scope, your RTO must determine how the Course will be broken down and delivered into components known as Units of Study (UoS) for which you will charge fees.

Unit of Study Structure
The main consideration when adding Units of Study is how it links to Units of Competency
The number of Units of Study per Course is up to the discretion of the RTO
- It is commonly recommended that they are a 1-1 match with your Units of Competency
- At the very least there a specific rules depending on the length of the Course
- This is due to past events where Learners were charged for the entire Course upfront and not provided with adequate withdrawal options based on progression
Allows a Unit of Competency to be added to one or more Units of Study.
This is only useful if you have Units of Competency that will be delivered across Units of Study periods
- It is less common now due to the more strict VSL progression rules
- Plus the relationship is not reported to VSL or AVETMISS anyway
- See the diagram below for how Units of Competency cross Units of Study
If you required this you will need to switch on Advanced Mode Unit Grouping.
