[Aries] Hi and some questions and advice

[Clarke Stevenson]

Kevork,

This is the mapping that I suggested that you may be interested in updating
for us. Sean McCormick did it for us originally.

Hi

Aries is currently not available for any VCE credit. (students enrolled last
year are still eligible if they complete the certificate this year). The
eligibility for a VCE unit was never based on passing the Aries certificate
but
on gaining certain modules making up the Cert II/III IT. Due to changes in
the
Cert II/III the original mapping of Aries is no longer valid. Until a new
mapping is carried out and approved the Aries course will not provide any
VCE
credit.
