Introducing Unit Offers
A Unit Offer represents the delivery of a unit for a specific intake, term, semester, or delivery period.
Unit Offers can be created independently or linked to one or more Course Offers. When added from a Course Offer, they can inherit key information such as delivery location, funding details, and dates. These values can then be updated as required for the individual Unit Offer.
This flexibility allows organisations to manage Unit Offers in a variety of ways, including:
- Linking a Unit Offer to a single Course Offer.
- Sharing a Unit Offer across multiple Course Offers.
- Managing Unit Offers independently of any Course Offer.

Set Up Unit Offers
You can create Unit Offers in a way that best suits your organisation’s delivery model. A Unit Offer can be linked to one or more Course Offers, or managed independently.
Depending on your requirements, you may choose to:
- Use a single Unit Offer for all Learners completing a particular unit.
- Create separate Unit Offers for different course offers based on intakes, terms, or delivery periods.
- Share a Unit Offer across multiple Course Offers.
- Manage Unit Offers independently of any Course Offer.
Separate Unit Offers are commonly used when groups of Learners require different enrolment details, such as:
- Start and End dates.
- Trainers and assessors.
- Delivery locations.
- Funding or other reporting requirements.
The approach you choose will depend on how your organisation delivers training and the level of flexibility required to manage different Learner groups.
How to View and Edit a Unit Offer
Set Up Linked Unit Offers (Parent/Child Unit Offers)
The Linked Unit Offers section allows you to create a Parent/Child hierarchy to organise related Unit Offers under a single structure.
A Parent Unit Offer acts as the primary Unit Offer in the hierarchy. One or more Child Unit Offers can be linked to a Parent Unit Offer, creating a structured relationship between related units.
This hierarchy is designed to improve organisation and reporting while allowing each Unit Offer to retain its own settings, enrolments, and administrative data.
Linked Unit Offers are best used when managing Units of Study for VSL course delivery. For example, a Parent Unit Offer can represent the overall Unit of Study, while Child Unit Offers represent the individual Unit of Competencies.
Streamline Course Enrolment
Once the Course Offer and Unit Offers have been created there is an opportunity to streamline how you choose your Learners to enrol.

Enrol Learners
Learners can be enrolled into a generic Course Offer and their personalised enrolment details are changed at this stage.
When Learners are enrolled into a Course Offer the specific Unit Offers are selected.
Manage Enrolments
As the Learner progresses through the Course Offer different fields need to be updated for accurate reporting.
Give Learners access to the Learner App
There are many fields that can be updated in bulk.
Reporting: Internal and External
As Learners progress through the Course Offer it is important to update their records regularly.
Progression Management is extremely critical to ensure accurate records for compliance and external reporting.
Internal reports can be generated to obtain key information pertaining to Course Offers and Unit Offers.
External Report information can be found through our AVETMISS page
Finalise a Unit Offer
When a Learner completes a Unit Offer you will need to ensure all appropriate fields have been completed.
