* EFTSU means equivalent full time student unit and EFTSL means equivalent full time student load
** VET Full-Time Equivalent students (FTE) = Number of modular hours divided by 540
For example: if you have 100 students studying 10 hours per week for 10 weeks, the calculation would be 100 (students) x 10 (hours) x 10 (weeks) = 10,000 hours. Then divide the 10,000 hours by 540 to get the number of FTE students (10,000 / 540 = 18.52). This is the FTE number to be used to multiply the rate.
