How to Create a Program for a Non-Accredited Course
Overview
Programs in the eSkilled
Student Management System (SMS) refers to courses that could be a nationally
accredited training programs, qualifications, part qualifications, units or
modules, or non-accredited courses.
Planning and setting up your
Programs in the SMS correctly is important to ensuring a seamless experience
for your administrators, trainers, and students. Correct Program settings also help
ensure compliance with reporting requirements.
In this tutorial, we will guide
you through the steps of creating non-accredited training program in your SMS.
Non-accredited training programs typically do not lead to a
nationally-recognised qualification or certification. These programs are often designed
for personal development, career advancement, or skill acquisition.
This tutorial will cover the
following:
- Creating a non-accredited training program
- Adding units to the program
Step Tutorial
Creating a Non-Accredited Program
1. From the sidebar menu, go to Programs > Programs tab > then click Add.
These will be the available
fields once you click the Add button.
But since we are only creating a non-accredited
program, most of these fields will be unavailable once Qualification OR
Accredited Course is disabled and the Type is set to Non-Accredited
Course.
2. Fill out the following fields:
- Program Code - enter a code for your program. This is a code specific to your organisation that is used to quickly identify your program.
- Program Name - enter a descriptive name for your Program. The Program name will appear in your enrolment forms. Ensure this is easily identifiable by your students or matches your Program offerings.
- Type - select the program type from the
dropdown. In this case, select Non-Accredited course.
- Description - This field will only show if Non-Accredited course. type is chosen. You can utilise this field to provide details about the non-accredited course you are about to create.
When the Program type is set to Non-Accredited course, fields that are not required for a non-accredited training will be hidden from the interface and will no longer need to be completed.
Once done, click Save.
This will be the view once the program
has been saved.
Adding Units to the Program
NOTE: Ensure that units or
subjects are already added in Programs > Units before doing
the actions below. 1. To add units to the program, in
your Programs tab, go to the Units subtab. Then click New.
2. In the ‘create new entry’
modal, fill in the following from the dropdown fields:
- Unit Code - select the code of the
unit you would like to add.
- Unit Name - this field will
auto-populate with the unit’s name for the selected unit code. This is a
non-editable field.
- Unit Type - select whether the unit
is a Core or Elective unit.
- Status - select the status of the unit if Current, Superseded, or Deleted. This information should match the one in training.gov.au if this is an accredited unit.
Once done, click Create.
Repeat these steps to continue
adding units until all the units needed are added.
NOTE: The Students and
Groups subtab for Programs will automatically update with a list of Students
and Groups/Intakes when there are any enrolments to a Program Instance of a
Program.
And that’s how to create a program
for a non-accredited course in the SMS!
