Key terms and concepts

The Subject (NAT00060) file contains a record for each unit of competency, accredited unit or
module associated with enrolment activity during the collection period.
A unit of competency, accredited unit or module can be studied independently but is usually
offered as part of a qualification, course or skill set.

The Subject (NAT00060) file provides information about units of competency, accredited units and
modules that are undertaken and/or completed by clients during the collection period.

File relationships

For each unique Subject identifier in the Subject (NAT00060) file there must be at least one
corresponding record in the:
Training activity (NAT00120) file.
If there are no subject enrolments and therefore no Training activity (NAT00120) file, then the
Subject (NAT00060) file is not required.
