TAFE Qld Masters
Single units
Format: MO_<QualCode>_<UnitCode>_TQM_Release#
Single Unit Code: MO_MTM40211_FDFAU4001A_TQM_01
Single Unit Name: MTM40211 (FDFAU4001A Assess compliance with food safety programs - Futura) TQM01
Clusters
Format: CM_<QualCode>_<ClusterCode>_TQM_Release#
Cluster Unit Code: CM_BSB50215_CLS-BSB-0011_TQM_01
Cluster Unit Name: BSB50215 (BSBADM502/BSBLDR501/BSBLDR503 Emotional Intelligence Cluster) TQM01
Breakdown of the code
MO_ or CM_
This is placed at the start of the code to indicate a Connect unit that is used as a development shell rather than for student delivery. MO_for single unit, CM_ for clustered master.
Qualification Code – (Program):
This is the Qual code or SMS Course Availability Short Description. If the unit is delivered across multiple qualifications, GENERIC should be used. This is done to keep the code structure intact with the variables that make up the code in their correct places for reporting purposes. In SkillsTech's case, LIGHT and HEAVY are also acceptable considering they are made up of different content despite using the same qualification and unit codes.
Unit Code:
This is the unit of competency code.
TQM:
Indicates that this unit is a TAFE Queensland Master.
Release#:
Indicates a different release of the Connect unit.
Cluster code:
This is the SMS Cluster Code (ie., CLS-HLT-0005)
Breakdown of the name
Qualification to the left of the brackets. Unit code and name (or units and cluster name). TQM and the release number/version to the right of the brackets. Clustered unit names must include both Competency codes and the name of the cluster.
Regional Masters

Cluster Unit Name: SIS40313 (SISOCNE305A/SISOCNE303A Canoeing Skills) TQEC01
Breakdown of the code
MO_ or CM_
This is placed at the start of the code to indicate a Connect unit that is used as a development shell rather than for student delivery. MO_for single unit, CM_ for cluster.
R_ or M_
R denotes the unit was created from Regional product. M denotes the unit was created from Master product.
Qualification Code – (Program):
This is the Qual code or SMS Course Availability Short Description. If the unit is delivered across multiple qualifications, GENERIC should be used. This is done to keep the code structure intact with the variables that make up the code in their correct places for reporting purposes. In SkillsTech's case, LIGHT and HEAVY are also acceptable considering they are made up of different content despite using the same qualification and unit codes.
Unit Code:
This is the unit of competency code.
TQx:
Indicates the Region that created the Regional Master.
Release#:
Indicates a different release of the Connect unit.
Cluster code:
This is the SMS Cluster Code (ie., CLS-HLT-0005)
Breakdown of the name
Qualification to the left of the brackets. Unit code and name (or units and cluster name) held within the brackets. TQx and the release number/version to the right of the brackets.
Class/Delivery Offerings
Single units
Format: CO_<QualCode>_<UnitCode>_<RegionID>_<YearSemesterIDVersion>
Single Unit Code: CO_10364NAT_BSBWOR204_TQB_1901_01
Single Unit Name: 10364NAT (BSBWOR204 Use business technology – 2019 SLPET Sem 1) TQB
Clustered Offerings
Format: CLO_<QualCode>_<ClusterCode>_<RegionID>_<YearSemVers>
Cluster Unit Code: CLO_FNS40615_CLS-FNS-0004_TQB_1901_01
Cluster Unit Name: FNS40615 (FNSTPB401/FNSTPB402 BAS and Payroll Cluster) 2019 Semester 1 TQB
Breakdown of code
CO or CLO_
Placed at the start of the code to indicate whether the unit is a Cluster made from Master product, Regional product or is an offering for student delivery. CO_ for single unit, CLO_ for cluster.
Program Code – (Qualification):
This is the Qual code or SMS Course Availability Short Description. If the unit is delivered across multiple qualifications, GENERIC should be used. This is done to keep the code structure intact with the variables that make up the code in their correct places for reporting purposes. In SkillsTech's case, LIGHT and HEAVY are also acceptable considering they are made up of different content despite using the same qualification and unit codes.
Unit Code:
This is the unit of competency code.
TQx:
Indicates the Region from who is delivering the unit.
Year-Semester-ID:
First two numbers indicate the starting year of the unit. 19 for 2019, 20 for 2020. The next two numbers denote the starting Semester identifier. 01 = Semester 1, 02 = Semester 2. If this is a rolling start availability, use the month (01 - Jan, 02 - Feb, etc) instead.
The last three numbers indicate an instance/iteration/version for that unit of competency.
Breakdown of the name
Qualification to the left of the brackets. Unit code and name (or units and cluster name). Region and the release number/version, and/or delivery intake to the right of the brackets.
PD Units
PD Units
Format: PD_<Industry>_<Code>_<Version>
Unit Code: PD_SMSTRAINING_CAA01_01
Unit Name: CAA01 - Completion and Awards 2018
Breakdown of code
PD_
Denotes that this is a Professional Development unit. By starting the code with this, there is no confusion with accredited student delivery units.
Industry
A short description of the team or project that is responsible or owner of the content.
Code
A 3-Letter+2-Digit code representing the unit. This should be unique.
Version
Denotes iteration of unit. If the unit is run no more frequently than annually, the year is acceptable here (as 18, 19, 20 etc).
