Using completion rates: Completion rates (after 4 years) should be used for comparative analysis. The completion rate (to date) provides valuable point-in-time insights into individual commencing cohorts, but it could be misleading to compare the performance of different cohorts with these rates. For more information, refer to Which rate and why? fact sheet
Notes: Commencement numbers are rounded to the nearest 5.
An asterisk (*) indicates a percentage has been generated on fewer than 100 commencements and is prone to large fluctuations based on small actual shifts. A double asterisk (**) indicates a projection was made with fewer than 100 commencing or continuing records.
'na' is presented if there were no commencements for a selection. To date completion rates are displayed as 'np' when the rounded commencement number is presented as 5 or fewer.
Projected completion rates are displayed as 'np' where the number of commencing and continuing qualifications for a selection is less than 30. A caret (^) indicates the projection is the 'to date' completion rate (i.e. no projection has been made).
Annual commencements will not match Total VET's 'Commencing program status' numbers due to differences in methodology and definition of an enrolment. For more information see: Why are commencements different from Total VET students and courses? fact sheet.
