There are many fields on this page that are included in the VSL export files. These fields will include the element number in parenthesis after the name of the field. More information on these elements can be found in the VET – Elements by Number page on HEIMSHELP.
Training Package Qualifications (307) - Only qualifications that have been set up as a Course of Study will be available for selection. If the selected qualification has a parent qualification, reports the national code of the parent. Otherwise reports the national code of the selected qualification.
Completion Status (446) - Known to HEIMS as the Variation Reason Code must be set correctly for the record to appear in the VCC file in the VSL exporter. This can be set either here in the Course of Study Wizard, or via the Set dates and completion statuses menu option.
The settings for this field are:
- Completed will include the course of study as a new record in the VCC file. You must also enter the Completion Date so that the VSL exporter can search for this record within a date range.
- Rescind previous completion is used to 'undo' a previously reported record if a completion has been reported in error.
NOTE: When first setting up the course of study, Not yet completed should be selected. This will prevent this course of study from being included in the VCC file until it is completed. When the course of study has been completed, 446 should then be set to Completed.
