Sell and Deliver Fee for Service Training for Australian RTOs
SELMA gives Australian RTOs and training providers everything they need to run a commercial fee for service operation -- a branded online shopfront, self-service enrolment, online payments, event management, automated communications, and certificate generation. Generate AVETMISS fee for service NAT files directly from the same system. No second platform required.
Built for Australian RTOs Delivering Fee for Service Training
Most Australian RTOs deliver a mix of government-funded training and commercial fee for service courses. Managing these two streams in separate systems -- one for AVETMISS and state funding, another for commercial course sales -- creates duplicated student records, manual data transfers, and a fragmented view of your organisation's performance. SELMA handles both streams in one platform, giving your RTO a complete operation from shopfront to NCVER submission.
Whether you deliver first aid, liquor licensing, workplace health and safety, continuing professional development, or any other fee for service short course, SELMA gives you everything you need to sell, deliver, and report -- without a second system.
AVETMISS fee for service reporting included: SELMA generates AVETMISS-compliant NAT files for your fee for service activity and submits directly to NCVER. Fee for service enrolments and government-funded enrolments share the same student database -- one system, one submission, one source of truth.
One Platform for Funded and Fee for Service Training
SELMA is the only student management platform that handles both government-funded training and commercial fee for service delivery in the same system. State funding contract reconciliation, AVETMISS reporting, fee for service NAT file generation, and your online shopfront all draw on the same student database -- giving Australian RTOs a complete view of their training operation without switching between platforms.
Standalone short course platforms do not connect to AVETMISS or state funding reporting. RTOs using them for commercial delivery still need a separate SMS for their funded programmes. SELMA eliminates this gap entirely -- fee for service enrolments and government-funded enrolments share the same student records, the same compliance tools, and the same support team.
Who Uses SELMA for Fee for Service Training in Australia
Everything You Need to Run Fee for Service Training
Branded Online Shopfront
Publish your fee for service course catalogue to a branded online shopfront. Students browse available courses, upcoming sessions, and dates without leaving your website. Real-time availability updates automatically as seats fill.
Online Payment Processing
Accept payment at the point of enrolment via Stripe integration. Credit card, debit card, and invoice payment options. Payment confirmation triggers automatic enrolment confirmation and joining instructions without manual intervention.
AVETMISS Fee for Service Reporting
Generate AVETMISS-compliant NAT files for your fee for service activity and submit directly to NCVER from within SELMA. Fee for service and funded enrolments share the same database -- one AVETMISS submission covering your entire training operation.
Event and Session Management
Create courses with multiple sessions, dates, and locations. Manage trainer allocation, venue capacity, and session availability from a single interface. Reschedule sessions, move students between dates, and manage cancellations without administrative complexity.
Multi-Employee Enrolment Forms
Corporate clients enrol multiple employees in a single transaction. One booking form, one payment, multiple student records created simultaneously -- with USI verification triggered automatically for each student at the point of enrolment.
USI Verification at Enrolment
USI verification triggered automatically when a student enrols through the shopfront. Fee for service students are verified against the USI registry at the point of enrolment without any manual administration, keeping your AVETMISS records compliant from day one.
Automated Communications
Enrolment confirmations, joining instructions, pre-course reminders, post-course follow-ups, and certificate delivery all triggered automatically based on enrolment events. Reduce admin overhead while improving the student experience.
Certificate and Statement of Attainment Generation
Statements of attainment and certificates of completion generated and delivered automatically when a student completes a course. Branded templates, digital delivery, and records stored against the student profile for audit purposes.
Waitlist and Discount Management
Automatic waitlist management when sessions reach capacity, plus discount codes, early bird pricing, and group rates. Track usage and enrolment volumes across your fee for service catalogue alongside your funded training delivery.
The Native Form Builder -- Capture Every Enquiry
SELMA's native form builder lets you create custom enrolment forms, corporate booking forms, and enquiry forms directly in the system without third-party tools. Unlike standard web forms that only capture data when a student hits submit, SELMA tracks interactions from the very first keystroke -- giving your team visibility of every prospective student's engagement from the moment they start filling in a form, even if they do not complete it.
- Build custom forms for different course types, corporate clients, or booking scenarios
- Conditional logic adapts the form based on what the student selects
- First keystroke tracking captures partial completions so your team can follow up with prospects who did not finish enrolling
- Form submissions flow directly into SELMA's CRM as enquiries or enrolments without manual data transfer
- USI collection and verification built into the enrolment form workflow
Why One Platform Beats Two for Australian RTOs
Many Australian RTOs delivering both government-funded training and fee for service courses end up running two separate systems -- one for commercial course management and one for AVETMISS and state funding compliance. This creates duplicated student records, manual data transfer between systems, separate billing relationships, and a fragmented view of your RTO's performance.
SELMA eliminates this entirely. Your fee for service students and your funded training students share the same database. A student who enrols in a first aid course through your shopfront and later enrols in a funded qualification has one record, one USI, one history, and one consistent experience -- with AVETMISS reporting covering both activity streams from the same system.
- One AVETMISS submission covering both fee for service and funded activity
- One student record regardless of enrolment pathway or funding type
- USI verified once and stored against the student record for all future enrolments
- State funding contract reconciliation alongside fee for service revenue reporting
- One subscription covering unlimited users across your whole RTO
- One AU-based support team for your entire training operation
