SCORM is a standard developed for online learning. It defines how data such as student details and training results are exchanged between the Learning Content and the system that hosts the content, the Learning Management System (LMS). Being compliant to the standard means that you as the RTO can choose your preferred course authoring software, confident in the knowledge that BluegemEXPLORE will display and present them exactly the way you intended. With no additional effort, students stored in the TMS can enrol in your eLearning or face-to-face courses and have their online or face-to-face assessment results recorded in the TMS.

The most important reports required by AQTF relate to thye "Quality Indicators". As an RTO you are required to demonstrate you competency completion rates for Qualifications and Units and provide answers collected from Learner and Employer Questionaires. BluegemEXPLORE TMS automates the creation of all of these reports for all states.

As of January 2011 all RTOs in all states are required to demonstrate that they have a system capable of submitting valid AVETMISS data files for all accredited training activity in 2011 to 2012. This applies to ALL accredited programs whether or not the training is government funded. WA RTOs who already submit RAPT data will continue to do so, WA RTOs who had not previously submitted reports and are not recieving government funding will now be required to submit AVETMISS reports. BluegemEXPLORE handles AVETMISS reporting, verification and lodgement effortlessly for all states.

An enterprise RTO is a Registered Training Organisation who's primary purpose for registration is to provide training for it's own employees. These are generally large organisations that have special requirements for system integration, large datamigration, multiple access and authorisation levels and many enterprise business process requirements. As a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner with many years of delivering these services Bluegem is highly skilled and experienced in scoping, developing, deploying and supporting these types of projects.
