of enquiries received last week, the VCAA provides the following advice:</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:72.0pt'><font size=2
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:90.0pt;text-indent:-18.0pt'><font size=2

</span></font><font size=2><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>The Supplement to the
March Bulletin is intended as ‘industry advice’ to teachers about delivery,
it’s not about the requirements for the examination. (Refer to the VET
section of the March VCAA Bulletin p.6). </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt;

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:90.0pt;text-indent:-18.0pt'><font size=2
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>2.
There is no prescription intended; rather the advice clarifies what industry
representatives see as important and what their standard business practice is.
The Supplement offers two delivery options BUT it does not require teachers to
change their delivery and assessment strategies. </span></font></p>
