Understanding MSATS
- Do you want to better understand how to use MSATS*?
- When using MSATS, do you find it hard to make it all fit together?
If so, then read on.
AEMO has prepared a 2-day face-to-face training course that explains how and why MSATS works the way that it does.
You should consider attending if you ever find yourself wondering the following:
- How can I use MSATS more effectively for my organisation ?
- What is the MSATS data structure and format ?
- What are the business processes that I need to be aware of ?
- Where do I fit in and what roles do other participants play in the process ?
- How do I use MSATS reports to get the information I need ?
If this sounds like you, then come along to the training. The entire course is presented by AEMO staff who are experts in MSATS (and the surrounding business processes) and who are only too happy to share their knowledge and experience with you. You can also meet and share your own experiences with other people in the industry who work in a similar environment.
Some comments from past attendees are:
- "Thanks so much for all the effort put into a great course which will enable me to more effectively carry out my role."
- "Wonderful and informative"
- "Very interesting information, well presented, interactive, enjoyed listening to it."
We are running the course 3 times in 2010; in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne.
