Program – Desciptive Code Missing

Compliance > AVETMISS Program> Descriptive Code Missing


The Descriptive Code Missing alert identifies programs that do not have a descriptive code entered in the system. These descriptive codes are a required field for AVETMISS reporting and must align with the official codes listed on the training.gov.au website.

To resolve this issue, click on the alert count to access the list of programs with missing descriptive codes. From there, you can open each program by clicking on its name or code, which will redirect you to the Program Entry screen. On this screen, you should enter the correct descriptive code based on the official qualification or course information.

Ensuring these codes are accurately populated is essential for compliance with national training standards and for avoiding validation errors in AVETMISS reporting.
