Where the unit of competency or modyle delivery is clustered with others a session plan or mapping must be provided to show where the student engaged in learning activity in the specific unit of competncy or module being audited. | Student withdraws prior to commencement: Set Outcome Code = 40 Unit Enrolment End Date = Withdrawal Date Actual Hours = '0' or blank Student withdraws after commencement: Set Outcome code = 40 Unit Enrolment End Date = Withdrawal Date Actual hours = Hours attended |
| 41 | Incomplete due to RTO closure | ACT, NSW, NT, QLD, TAS, VIC | If your RTO is closing, all incomplete nationally recognised training activity needs to be reported with the outcome 41.

| 50 | RPL Commenced | VIC | The Learner is in the process of being assessed for recognition of prior learning but no result is yet available. | This code will be valid for final reporting for a collection year only if the Enrolment Activity End Date is in a future year. | |
| 51 | Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) Granted | ACT, NSW, NT, QLD, TAS, VIC | To be used when a student has undergone an RPL assessment process and RPL has been granted. RPL assessment invoices the assessment of previously unrecognised skills and knowledge a student has achieved outside of the formal education system. | Evidence showing that the student was assessed for RPL against the elements in the unit of competency as well as a determination that the student has been granted RPL is required. | Set Delivery Mode = 90 and Set outcome = 51 |

| 61 | Superseded subject | ACT, NSW, NT, QLD, TAS, VIC, WA | From 1 January 2015, the Outcome Identifier National code 61-‘superseded subject’ may be used to report on superseded subjects. Outcome Identifier 61-superseded subject is only to be used if your RTO has reported a continuing enrolment from a previous year (Outcome Identifier National 70 - continuing enrolment). The final outcome for the student should show against the new unit of competency or module. | Evidence of commencement of training or learning in the superseded unit of competency or module is required | NCVER Fact Sheet |
| 65 | Superseded Qualification | QLD | To be used when transitioning a student from a superseded qualification to the new qualification in accordance with the transition and teachout rules prescribed by ASQA. It applies in instances when a unit of competency has been successfully completed under the old qualification however, the superseded competency does not map directly into the new competency, requiring additional training. Where gap training is required and successfully completed by the student, the PQS must report outcome code 65 in order to attract a five per cent payment in recognition of the additional training delivered. Using outcome code 65 will not affect the number of competencies undertaken to date by the student. The rule is attached to the student not the PQS. Therefore a PQS must carry out a mapping process (and retain evidence of this process) for each student who transitions from an old qualification to a new. Where direct mapping is identified, credit transfers are to be applied. Where partial mapping is identified and gap training is required, a 65 outcome is to be applied if the student successfully completes the gap training. There is no payment for failure of gap training. Where no mapping is identified the PQS is to deliver the entire unit of competency. | No co-contribution fees can be charged for this Outcome Identifier. | |

A session plan or mapping document must be provided to show where the student has engaged in learning activity in the specific unit of competency or module being audited. | |
| 70-AP | Academic Pass | SA | To be used when a student has begun training in a unit and has completed the theory, but will not recieve a final outcome until they have completed a workplace assessment.

If the student does not do the work placement assessment the outcome should be changed to 40 - withdrawn before the End date. | Evidence must be available that clearly shows how the student has engaged in the learning activity in the unit of competency or module. Where the unit of competency or module delivery is clustered with other units, a session plan or mapping document must be provided to show where the student engaged in learning activity in the specific unit of competency or module being audited. | |
