 WAAMS – An overview of key features

This short video introduces the new Western Australian Apprenticeship Management System (WAAMS) portal. 

You'll see an overview of how WAAMS looks and works, and its key features. 

This video provides an overview of the types of training contract changes that are available in WAAMS.

It shows the menus and navigation through the portal, and takes you through some example changes to demonstrate functionality of the portal. 

WAAMS introduction for organisation representatives (employers, AASNs, RTOs)

This video shows the WAAMS portal view when logged in as an organisation representative such as an employer, an AASN or a registered training provider. 

It explains the information presented on the home page, shows you the main menu items and options, and demonstrates how to view and edit organisation details.

It also shows how to view an organisation's contracts as well as notifications of recent events such as approved contract changes, completions, expiries and terminations to training contracts.  

WAAMS – Invite others from your organisation to use the WAAMS portal (for employers/organisations)

The Apprenticeship Office will send one portal invitation by email to the primary contact at each organisation.

Submitting variations to contract information (for apprentices and employers)

Within the WAAMS portal, employers and apprentices (and their parent/guardian if applicable) are able to change details on their training contract such as:

• an apprentice’s business relationship with their employer;
• new Australian visa/citizenship details;
• if the occupation under the training contract has changed; or
• the term of a contract (for qualifications with variable terms only). These are referred to as training contract variations.

This video demonstrates the process to submit these variations through WAAMS.

Submit a change of worksite location request (for apprentices and parent/guardian, and employers)

A change of worksite location is where an apprentice is required to move to another worksite of an employer.
