Program Subject

This lesson explains how to correctly set up Program Subjects in TEAMS and why this screen is critical for academic accuracy and compliance.

You’ll learn:

  • How to access the Program Subjects screen from the Program Entry screen and understand the structure of the Program Subjects grid.
  • Understand the purpose of Program Subjects and how it controls which subjects are added to applications and enrolments.
  • How Program Subjects drive subject start and end date calculations used across enrolments.
  • How subject configuration flows through to AVETMISS reporting, course progress, timetables and attendance.
  • How VET programs and subjects are imported from TGA, including automatic linking of core subjects and manual selection of electives.
  • How to manually create and link subjects for Higher Education and ELICOS programs.
  • How to correctly mark subjects as compulsory so they automatically appear in Applications, Enrolments and Training Plan & Results.
  • How to use the “Do Not Include in AVETMISS” setting for non-TGA subjects such as orientation or policy units without causing reporting errors.
  • How Sequence Numbers and subject duration (weeks or days) work together to calculate subject start and end dates automatically.
  • The difference between study weeks and total program duration, and why subject durations must be based on study weeks only.
  • Why copying result dates to subject end dates is not recommended and can cause course progress and compliance issues.
  • How optional fields such as Credit Points, Work Placement and Delivery Group are used, including specific requirements for Queensland User Choice funded RTOs.
  • How correct Program Subject setup allows TEAMS to automate dates, reduce manual corrections and maintain accurate compliance data.

IMPORTANT: At the end of this lesson, you will need to complete the quiz before moving on to the next lesson.
