Admin - Adding a Qualification Template

Before you create student accounts it is necessary to create Qualification Template/s to assign students to.

It is advisable to create as many templates as necessary and multiple templates are created where the elective choices vary within a qualification

• e.g. different streams/specific employer requirements
• Streamlines adding users with electives pre-selected

Where an individual has only one or two electives that vary from the template, the best option is to customise the Training Plan in their individual account

Qualification templates can be customised based on various block types. This is a selectable option in your RTO settings.

By default, units are displayed showing core then elective units. An alternate display may be set up within the Qualification Templates area to better reflect the training delivery schedule. Blocks may contain both core & elective units.

For example, you could create blocks “1a”, “1b”, “2a”, “2b”, “3a”, etc., to reflect each semester of study, so that units of competency are displayed in the order they are studied.

This affects the display in:

• Student Unit Overview Graph
• Student’s Training Plan in +Training Plan
  

Existing Templates can be edited to modify the display if desired. Editing existing templates should be done with caution as they affect all users assigned to that qualification template.

Note:
Core Units - are set as per the qualification rules and cannot be changed

Stream core units – if specified in qualification rules - may be set or selected from a choice. Core units that are optional are recognised as stream core to facilitate the selection of the appropriate unit.

Electives - to be added as per your RTO’s delivery
