Format

The format of an enrolment contract is outlined in Rule ENR051[1] and the method of confirmation in Rule ENR058[2]. Although a learner may have completed an enrolment contract at this stage, TEOs must not claim funding until the learner has completed a valid enrolment for SAC funding.

A TEO is also responsible, under Rule ENR063[3], for documenting compliance requirements under any subcontracting arrangements.
