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.
'na' is used when a rate cannot be presented because not enough time has passed. 'np' is used when the rounded commencement number is presented as 5 or fewer.
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.
