Associated Program Identifier Element description A code that uniquely identifies an enrolment in a superseded Program. Files Enrolment (NAT00120) Purpose To identify enrolments in superseded Programs. General: Business rules This must not be blank for government subsidised superseding enrolments. All RTOs delivering Government subsidised training are required to report the Program Identifier of a superseded Program in the Associated Program Identifier field whenever transitioning into a new qualification. When a government subsidised Program has been transitioned, the Program Identifier of the old superseded Program must be reported in the Associated Program Identifier field of the replacement Program. Where a fee for service Program is being transitioned into a government subsidised Program, these enrolments must be treated as new enrolments under Skills First (formerly VTG Funding) and therefore no Associate Program Identifier should be reported. When transitioning students from fee for service delivery into government subsidised delivery, all subjects passed in the fee for service enrolment must be reported as a credit transfer in the government subsidised enrolment. Specific: All alphabetic characters in the Associated Program Identifier must be in upper case. The Associated Program Identifier must not contain spaces. This may be blank subject to rules above Revision
