   At enrolment, Learners must sign:

   • Consent to Use and Disclosure of Personal Information to the Department of Education and Communities and Other Government Agencies, included on page 5 below and in the Smart and Skilled Operating Guidelines, Schedule 1. It is to be used in addition to the Provider’s normal Privacy Policy and Procedures. This exact wording must be used but can be incorporated into any existing notification/consent forms or used as a stand-alone declaration.
   • Prospective Learner Declaration: As included in the Eligibility Checklist
   • Privacy Form if provider is applying for USI on their behalf is included in the USI policy document and can also found at: http://usi.gov.au/Training-Organisations/Documents/Privacy-Notice.pdf

   (Refer to USI Policy and Smart and Skilled Checklist with regard to use of the Privacy Form)
2. Inform learners of any subcontracting arrangements.
3. Complete the Notification of Enrolment Process in the Provider calculator on STS Online to notify STS of the learner enrolment. The calculator will:
   • Validate eligibility of learner
   • Add details of Credit transfer or RPL
   • Generate details of the fee chargeable, subsidies and loadings
   This process will be completed in advance of a learner starting training.

   AD1 College understands that failure to complete the process before a learner commences training means the learner cannot be reported through the online (e-Reporting) system and this may result in payment not being made for these learners.

   The following process as outlined by State Training Services will be followed to ensure the correct Notification of Enrolment process is completed:

   • Complete an enquiry.
   • A Quote ID is issued for the enquiry. (A Quote ID is only issued if the enquiry is successful, which means the individual is eligible to undertake the Smart and Skilled subsidised course selected.)
   • Complete the additional information required for the Notification of Enrolment. (This step cannot be completed if the enquiry is not successful.)
   On completion of the Notification of Enrolment process a Learner Commitment ID is issued by State Training Services and a copy kept on our file.
4. A hard or electronic copy of the Notification of Enrolment Report is generated and a copy kept on our file.
5. The learner must be informed of all fees, schedule of payments, refunds for withdrawal or deferment and the policy relating to fees paid in advance. All relevant information will be included in the Fee Administration Policy, published on our website.

Note to points 3 & 4:

• A successful Notification of Enrolment for a learner is achieved when a provider is issued with a Commitment ID.

  Commitment IDs begin with a "C" e.g. C150022650.

• An enquiry which results in a Quote and the issue of a Quote ID is not equivalent.

  A Quote ID is distinguishable because it begins with a "Q", e.g. Q15000378751.

• The Notification of Enrolment can be undertaken as a single transaction or a two-stage transaction depending on when an enquiry proceeds to enrolment.
• Where a provider has undertaken a successful enquiry and not undertaken the Notification of Enrolment in the same transaction, they will need to return to that enquiry by clicking on the Quote ID in the Smart and Skilled Provider Calculator - Maintenance screen and provide the extra details to complete the Notification of Enrolment.
• Quote IDs will expire after seven days from the date of issue if the Notification of Enrolment is not undertaken before then.
