Purpose

To maintain Course Pattern Delivery Groups Offerings.

Course Offering Pattern Delivery Groups

Use this form to Maintain Course Offering Pattern Delivery Groups. Delivery Groups are associated to Course Offering Patterns and provide for the allocation of students to teaching delivery periods. Each Delivery Group Offering can be mapped to one or more Delivery Periods, within which Units are delivered.

For information about Delivery Group see Introduction to Delivery Groups.

A Delivery Group Offering is created whenever a Delivery Group is associated with at least one Course Offering Pattern. Delivery groups are created for the convenient allocation of students to periods of teaching delivery (delivery periods).

This form also provides navigation to the Maintain Course Offering Pattern Delivery Periods function, where each Delivery Group Offering can be mapped to one or more Delivery Periods, within which units are delivered.

The primary application of this functionality is the maintenance of the block release groups into which TAFE User Choice Apprentices students are placed in order to undertake the study of their chosen units. The definition of each group will include published and real limits, which will be utilised when students are allocated to the groups.

This form is accessed from the main menu.

The Delivery Group Offering Published Limit must be less than or equal to the Real Limit.

If the Real Limit is null then the Published Limit must also be null.
