Reporting and surveys for Learn Local providers

Reporting

Pre-accredited training

All government funded pre-accredited training delivery must be reported quarterly against each milestone, as a contract requirement.

Where possible, Learn Local providers are encouraged to report their delivery monthly through their Student Management System to the Skills Victoria Training System (SVTS).

Data that is not successfully uploaded to SVTS will be deemed as training that has not been delivered.

Data collection assists the Adult, Community and Further Education Board to plan, support and monitor further education and training. Data regarding fee-for-service pre-accredited training delivery can also be updated through SVTS, although this is not mandatory.

Guidelines

The Victorian VET Student Statistical Data Collection Guidelines are the primary reference when reporting data to SVTS. Access these guidelines on the Training data collection page.

Specific exceptions relating to the agreed Service Agreement and Delivery Plan are detailed in the 2024 Pre-accredited Training Data Entry and Reporting Guidelines for General Pre-accredited and Additional Digital and Employability Places delivery. These guidelines incorporate the national Australian Vocational Education and Training Management Information Statistical (AVETMIS) Standard.

Accredited training

All Registered Training Organisations – including those that are community training providers – delivering government-funded accredited training need to submit monthly data to Skills Victoria Training System (SVTS).

The data files that must be submitted are specified in the File Structures section of the VET Student Statistical Collection Guidelines. See Training data collection to access a current version of the guidelines.

Surveys

2024 VET Student Satisfaction Survey (of 2023 training)

In 2024, learners in Learn Local courses were again included in the vocational education and training (VET) Student Satisfaction Survey program.

The 2024 Pre-accredited Learner Survey collected data from learners who participated in Learn Local courses in 2023. It had a response rate of 37% (8,248 learners).

The survey results were very positive and indicated that in 2023 pre-accredited learners were highly satisfied with the teaching and learning provided:

83% indicated that they achieved their main reason for training.
89% reported satisfaction with course materials and facilities, as well as with the support they received from their trainers.
87% reported having positive perceptions of the teaching.
93% reported a safe, welcoming and culturally appropriate learning environment that factored in the diversity of learners.
91% would recommend their Learn Local provider.
92% were satisfied that their provider had identified their learning needs.
83% were satisfied that their pre-accredited course addressed their learning needs.

Overall, employment outcomes improved for the pre-accredited learners following a Learn Local course. The survey indicated:

improved employment outcomes (up by 3.5 percentage points from 2022)
a decline in unemployment (down by 1.2 percentage points from 2022)
a slight increase in the rate of volunteering and unpaid work (up by 1.2 percentage points from 2022)
an increase in workforce participation (up by 3.5 percentage points from 2022).

About 24% of the learners took Learn Local courses for work-related reasons. These learners experienced the greatest overall improvement in employment outcomes (employment up by 13 percentage points from 2022). About 70% of respondents who experienced an increase in employment were in this group. All the respondents who experienced a decline in unemployment were in this group. Almost half the respondents who experienced an increase in labour force participation were in this group.
