This first reporting of total VET activity has enriched our current knowledge of the VET market and begins to tell the story of Australia’s training market through preliminary analysis and comparisons of government-funded training providers, and private training providers.
A systematic review of research is a decision-making tool for policy and practice. It is a piece of research in its own right, using explicit and rigorous methods that follow a standard set of stages: to identify; critically appraise; and synthesise relevant research (both published and unpublished) to answer a specific question. This report documents the establishment of NCVER's own eight-step model for future systematic reviews of research.
