The NAT00030 file contains records of your Qualification and Course details, referred to as Programs in the national AVETMISS standard. Almost all of these errors can be fixed by comparing the qualification details in the Qualification Manager against the details for the qualification found on training.gov.au.
If you utilise Qualification Streams, you may need to update the Parent Qualification to resolve an issue.
